If you guys have Enterprise or Pro, activated with a KMS server (online or local), you still cannot activate the upgraded install.

It took me a while to figure out I actually have to get it from windows store instead of windows update.
Seems like a nice update I guess. |

Nope, just download the GA updates through Windows Update and you're good to go.

I switched to a clean Windows 8.1 RTM install three days ago, and now installed the update, seems all is well.
Still had a Win8 MSDNAA key from university, but it refused to accept it during installation. Had to use a pirate key, then when in Windows disable network, change the product key and do phone activation. Weird, but now everything works fine.
Also, with Classic Shell and some tweaks you hardly notice Metro UI anymore at all. I am actually quite happy, didn't run into any problems yet.

If i have 8.0 installed (pre-activated KMS was 18 in 1 or something, installed w8 pro 64bit KMS pre-activated)... can i upgrade it to 8.1?
Or do i need to wait for a new torrent with 8.1 preactivated and do a clean install?
Cheers.

Can someone help me out? I did clean install of windows 8 and then installed 8.1. It went all smooth but when I install a program. A tile is not being created and have to add them manually by doing "pin to start"
Any fix for this?

Well. I didn't had that problem with Windows 8. It was just create tiles for ALL installed application/games regardless. And now with 8.1, not getting any.

It's an intentional change as far as I know. People complained about the start screen getting cluttered too easily so now you have to pin programs manually from the all apps menu.

That's fucking lame. I guess those are the same people who have this too
I had quite number of application/games installed and I never thought of this as an issue at all. :\
It sucks because I didn't put any icons on desktop and have to go to each folder and do it manually, eh. |

Wait, did you check the all apps menu? It's accessed by the little arrow button that JBeckman was talking about:
 Spoiler: | |
If you actually went through the installation process for a particular program it should have put the usual shortcuts to the exe, uninstall, etc. there, just like with Win 7's start menu. If you mean the programs that are left over from the previous Windows install then yes, you'll have to pin them manually I'm afraid.

Yea. I just found that out. If I click on start, there is an arrow and it brings you list of all apps
EDIT : Thanks for the CTRL+Tab shortcut

One thing I don't like about the new Start Menu, is that it doesn't remember which display I use it on anymore.
In W8, you could move it to another screen and it would stay there whenever you toggled it on or off. Now it always resets back to the primary screen.
