BTW on a separate subject has any noticed that no matter what you do you cannot stop the Bing desktop update showing up in updates EVEN if you tell it not to show again. Bing desktop is a major piece of crap and Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves for making it.
you can boot straight to desktop which I sure you be happy about and can make it show your programs instead of start screen if you wish too when you click start button which should be better for you sirus as I know you hate the start screen plus can turn of the hot corners too if you chose so 8.1 gives you lot more choice
