So far I hate every single version of Windows 8. You change a setting and apply it and Windows 8 reverts it right back to how it was after a reboot. Kind of frustrating that Microsoft took away our rights as users to configure our machines how we want. Not cool at all.

That's what I was thinking.. When I first installed 8.1 I had some running issues that were solved after a re-install.. For some reason I find it doesn't always install like it's supposed to on the first try...

I got it from the store. It was telling me that 8.1 was available. How can I reinstall 8.1 now? It's no longer in the store because I already responded to the update. I don't trust third party sites. Plus, won't the system just tell me that I already have the latest version?

Ok you went 8.0 > 8.1 though the Store. I thought you might have done a clean install. I've only ever done the Store update once and had instant issues. Since then I do a clean install right to 8.1.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Where would I find direct links and also would I be able to uninstall 8.1 and reinstall via direct link and would it interrupt or disrupt the programs I already have installed? Thank you for your help.
I knew I should have checked windows update first rather than get it through the windows store. That's on me. I apologize for my first comments about hating Windows 8. Being new to the OS I jumped right in thinking it was just like 7 regarding installations and updates. I should have taken into account the differences. I do have one question. Is there a way to bring back msconfig? I'm having difficulty navigating the new style they instituted and I have programs I'd much rather shut off and not have running upon starting windows. Thank you for your help and I apologize that this is off subject.

don't know of a direct link yet for the general public, and yes it will affect the programs you have install now if you uninstall 8.1
as for you msconfig ,I don't think you will find a way to have the old one but whats so hard about the new way ,
just do alt+ctrl+del and open taskmanager ,click on the startup tab ,good luck
I just liked the simplicity of the original way to do it. Yes I can do it the way you told me but with the other way I can uncheck each program. With this new way I think I have to right click and disable or something, I haven't really played with it. The old adage "if it ain't broke..." comes to mind.
