Some people have this issue, but not everybody, see below for explanation. Updated information: Venue 8 Pro Owner's Lounge Just getting ready to start mine up.

Great tutorial, as usual. Just bought a Xmas laptop for my son, came with Win8, upgraded through the Store. It appears that MS has added all the Windows updates to the upgrade, only had three updates after installing Win8.1. Very good of them to keep it current.
