I mistakenly opted to upgrade from windows 8 pro to 8.1 pro through the store this afternoon. All seemed well at first, it downloaded and installed alright and everything seemed to be fine but after a few minutes testing things out I suddenly lost mouse and keyboard completely. I tried rebooting, safe mode etc but to no avail, still no mouse or keyboard. I decided to cut my losses and re-install win 8 pro from disc, which installed correctly and everything seemed to be back to normal. But I noticed that there is a big download going on without my request or knowledge, I have windows update turned off, so I fear Microsoft is again downloading win 8.1 which I now do not want. In the store there is no sign of the update or any activity. So, can I somehow stop this runaway train or do I have to wait and lose more download capacity? I hope if and when it's finished I will be able to say no to terms and conditions and that will be the end of the story or will it be in a continual loop
