    It's any chance to successful install .NET and MUI to Windows 8.1 with Bing (seems like Single language pack edition)?

    If it installs correctly, no it's not glitchy.
    If it installs incorrectly, then yes, it's very glitchy.
    If you don't wanna take a chance, you need to wait for next month for MS to upload it on the April patch day. (2nd tues of the month)

    aeroglass

    Only for those 0.00001% who use Aero Glass in win 8.x : update 1 breaks aerohost.exe (http: / / glass8 .berlios .de). If aeroglass is already installed, after applying KB2919355, the graphics is screwed up and can be repaired only after the app is uninstalled in safemode. The same if someone tries to install aeroglass on win 8.1.1... My other 215 apps went smoothly after update.
    I heard the same issue appeared to some who have used custom 3rd party themes, so, in these cases, better testing in VM.

    I installed the updates, but can't get the "pending restart" to go away. I restarted and shutdown many times. How to fix? Untitled.jpg

    Hi guys, not been on the board for a while.

    Considering I neither like nor use all the Metro s**t, should I be in any rush to install this Spring update. A quick read here and there seems to confirm it's mostly about improving all the Metro stuff and integrating it more into Windows (forcing it down our threats from what I've read). I know it will be done through MS Updates eventually and I'll install it then, but will installing this add any startling new features into my Win 8.1 setup.

    Hmm I'm noticing something wrong with installing KB2928680 over the spring update.
    It turns out my initial problem I saw is not only staying, but also amplified by larger files.
    The problem seems to relate to any sort of file explorer viewing.

    I'd advise anyone to either avoid this update for now or install it before installing the 2919355 update.

    I install it after win spring update 1 and I don't see any problem in file explorer.

    Dude, I command you for NOT using any metro isht . There are some secutity updates and the whole thing is 150mb or so. Install and forget, if there was away to strip win8 of Metro isht completely and cleanly I would have done it long ago.:tea:

    So, if there is a new kb2919442, we need to wait to new Windows 8.1 Update RTM ?
