YES!!
Update of what has happened today. So I reset the computer to 8.0. Did ALL Windows Updates including optionals. Did all HP Driver Updates. Set a restore point. Contacted Microsoft to see if I could download 8.1 ISO to burn a DVD as with my internet speed it takes 2 hours to download. No Luck my computer only has a windows 8 liscense key so can't use update by using product key. Uninstalled Display adapter "intel HD 4000" this is important!!! Downloaded the windows 8.1 update from the store. Computer re-started okay. Create a restore point. Update all HP drivers! Give your computer a bit of time here. Mine got the latest HD 4000 driver from online somewhere. The HP driver is not as new as the one found online. Re-start only after I attempted to install all hp drivers. All other updates worked okay HP and Windows. What a PITA this has been!!! Hope this helps.
