    LOL, the pixel is designed not to go out of screen, but maybe your downward movement triggers something, I don't know......like @Whazzupsuperfly said, computers are like women. :rofl6:

    In my experience sliding along the bottom edge with your mouse triggers it most of the time, maybe moving down also moves your mouse a little bit to the side and that's what triggers it...

    Got it ! Problem was I tested it in a virtual machine - and there I can't move the mouse pointer "out" of the screen area - because then mouse pointer is out of the virtual machine window. On a real machine it works as described.

    I can't bring up the taskbar with mouse in neither a VM nor on the actual PC, seriously only keyboard works to bring it up, I don't use the metro stuff but still a pretty awkward bug.

    Any modern netbooks are 1366x768 nowadays. For what it's worth, I have Windows 8.1 with Update 1 running wickedly fast on my netbook. I've added a faster SSD though and also 4GB total memory now. It seems smoother and slightly faster than Windows 7 ran on this system. From my understanding, Microsoft has done a lot of work on performance with Windows 8 to work with lower powered devices and so on. I would say that they achieved that, and also continued to work on performance with the release of 8.1 and now with Update 1. Although I also put a lot of work into fine tuning every aspect of my systems to gain any performance advantages anyways, plus I have never ran any anti-virus software for years since those things only slow computers down anyways.

    Wzor posted only the actual Spring Update (KB2919442, KB2919355, KB2932046 and KB2937592), all links provided on MDL also contain KB2939087 and KB2938439 because they also showed up after the registry hack. They'e not technically part of the update, but it's recommended that you install them too.

    Can anyone make a Windows Setup file that installs these in the right order automatically like what was done with just the 4 earlier on in this thread?

    MS put them on Windows Update together with the other ones, so they must do something, right?

    I made a clean install of Windows 8.1 in my VM and didn´t update it before installing spring Update 1. And Windows is working perfectly.
