    Is there a way to cancel the 8.1 preview update on a Windows 8 machine?

    I haven't started the install, but last time I booted it up I installed that update to start the 8.1 preview install, but it didn't work so I just dual booted it, now Windows 8 keeps asking me to install 8.1 preview from the store

    Is there a way to cancel it ?

    Uninstall the update you installed in the first place to activate the feature.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    Thats what I thought too, but the update didn't install normally, I had to use the CMD workaround trick to extract and install it, it doesn't show up under "Installed Updates"

    Is there any way to install the "core" edition instead of the "pro" one ??

    Bump

    I had to install the update using the extract / CMD trick, and it's not showing under installed updates

    EDIT - Looks like I've managed it, reversing the install command to remove it

    Code:
    DISM.exe /Online /Remove-Package /PackagePath:c:\8preview\Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x86.cab

    Microsoft finally allows us to search for Metro apps from the browser. Unfortunately, I'm not yet allowed to post links :(

    You need to have an Asus Oem PC/tablet to play this game (it's a exclusive for the OEM version)...really a stupid joke this Windows Store :mad: everyone should have access to these apps...not some 5-10 people who have recently bought a tablet/PC from Asus
