2 of my machines have automatically downloaded/upgraded using the recent Win 8.1 Upgrade 1, but one machine is still running the pre upgrade 8.1. I've attempted to explicitly install the upgrade via

Settings|Change PC Settings|Update & Recovery|Windows Update,

but none of the expected updates show up: KB 2919355, KB 2919442. I've searched my update history and neither of these has been installed. So, what's up? Is there another prerequisite update I need before the actual 8.1 update will show up in my list of available updates?

Yes, I currently have no pending updates (per Control Panel Windows Update applet.) Visually searching my update history I find that 2919442 was installed on 4/12, but since then none of the 8.1 Update files appear to have been installed. I found a blog posting that lists the updates that can be manually installed, but would much prefer an auto install. It troubles me that the other updates aren't listed when I check on Windows Update -- as though there's some other prerequisite required on my machine?

Just to verify, do you have a power button on your Start screen like below? If so, then you are running Windows 8.1 Update.

If not, then see if this may help for now.

No I do not have the power or search icon on the start page and the 8.1 update has not been installed. I guess I'll have to install it manually, but I'm still concerned that the necessary updates don't show up automatically in Windows Update.
