Anyone having problems with BBC iplayer directing to a site saying your device is not supported. Worked fine prior to 8.1 update.
So how to get the download to work? unless it is working. So i clicked on the link to 8.1 to the store, takes me direct to the download page. It says you can download hwile you work and its 2 gb . i click DL and the dots starts for a bit and then it goes back to the store and i dont see anything, not even sure i am downloading or anything. I dont see any new updates using desktop mode or the pc settings in metro. The build still says 8.1 preview .
So is there a download status bar or its downloading without telling you? I dont think its doing anything. Odd that i see no progress downloading.
Oh yes, I'm so happy Netflix is already updated for multitasking In 8.1
I just used the DVD and it installed without any problems. No tweaks at all!Just out of my curiosity, how did you install Win 8 onto your Pentium 4 machine? I have a laptop I bought in 2004, the CPU is Pentium 4, I think it's Northwood core if my memory is correct. Last year I tried to install Win 8 preview version on this laptop, but the the installation aborted with the message of hardware unsupported, so I never tried again.
Anyone is having problem with Skydrive Desktop app on Windows 8.1 ?
Its not opening..! But the Skydrive app from the Start working flawlessly(Its syncing with the skydrive folder)
I left my pc to download overnight (after watching it download just 30% in three hours!), and in the morning it was ready for me just to sign in.Here it took like 5min to download (corporate connection, wooop), and more than 30min to install. The damn thing had to restart 3 times to apply the update!!!
I had 24gb free before the update, and now I have like 32gb. This is nice!Wow, this surprises me, I thought I only have about 6~7GB of storage space left, but after RT 8.1 update, I notice that now I have 12GB of space available!! So the update file must have been deleted automatically along with other system files!!
Disappointed in IE11. While stability has improved from the preview, it is slow paging back like IE10 and still randomly crashes. This is unacceptable in a tablet that doesn't have any other browsers available. But at least it is good enough to post on WPC again, the forums seem to be working OK again although the main page crashes frequently.
It is nice having a working Photos app again. The Store works again on my non-Microsoft user accounts too. They did seem to clean up a lot of functionality.
Evidently it silently installs updates as well. Quite a bit of my battery drained overnight.
