Windows 8.1 finally working

[Deihmos 159]

The Windows 8.1 GA Rollup A has fixed Media Browser Classic. The updates will be released when Win 8.1 is officially released but they are out there if anyone would like to install it. I am happy that Microsoft was able to fix this, now I can upgrade to 8.1. 

 

DVRMStoolbox and DTBaddin were also broken in 8.1 and they also work.

Wicked. That gives me a long term solution now to still use media centres tv side ,whilst waiting for MB3 to catch up.

Works fine for me. I didn't have a single issue on a new install and on my laptop it worked fine after updating.

Decided to do a complete re-install from the ground up.

Windows 8.1 with the GPA Roll up & server set to run as service.

Chocolate theme.

 

Works as advertised.

[Guest HenryWaxmansNostrils]

Well I bit the bullet and updated.have to say easiest install ever. Had to update my media services to beta for 8.1 and reinstall my channel logos. That was it everything works .
