I upgraded to Windows 8.1 last week and that itself actually had some problems and wasn't a smooth upgrade at all. After several restarts and Windows searching for a solution itself the problem seemed to be ironed out. Or so I thought. After the 8.1 upgrade, and reading through various forum posts, it seems many others are having the same issue - mostly unresolved. So until Intel posts an...
