and breaks other things and they don’t give a disclaimer that you can revert back to 8.0 if you don’t care for 8.1. On my 2 Lenovos that had 8 on it I got a pop up for the 8.1 upgrade and I thought sure why not. Well that was I forget, Sept, or October of 2013? Anyhow now certain hotkeys (the F5 and FN shortcut for airplane mode no longer works) don’t work anymore and the energy management driver has something to do with it. Lenovo had a 8.1 specific driver released Oct 13th 2013 and it didn’t work. Well fast forward to today and they still haven’t released a new driver and after several threads posted on their support message board and phone calls to tech support they basically tell me to reformat and go back to 8.0.
