Sometimes on startup I get randomly told to go to store and upgrade to 8.1, but I don't want to and I'm tired of this. Is there any way to disable this particular notification or even all Metro notifications?

run regedit, go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\UpgradeNotification

and change the value UpgradeAvailable from 1 to 0,

Thanks dude! Hopefully it works.

it should work, I simply revert the setting from this update:

Update is available that enables a notification to be displayed that helps you update Windows 8 or Windows RT to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore] "DisableOSUpgrade"=dword:00000001

I have not tried this one but found this one the other day as well..DP
