    Hello,

    I installed Windows 8.1 through the windows store on Thursday and it has given me so many headaches...

    First it uninstalled the Microsoft Office suite, which has since randomly re installed itself...so at least that is fixed.

    Then I couldn't play sound at all on my laptop. I was able to reinstall the audio drivers on my computer and that seemed to solve the problem.

    Now the problem I am currently having is that I cannot play music files on my computer. I can listen to pandora and get sound if I watch videos online. However, If I try to listen to music in iTunes or xbox music it will not play. If I click play nothing happens. I just installed VLC to try that and if I put a song in there the progress bar moves, but no sound comes out. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem? I thought upgrading would be easy but it has caused me so many headaches...

    Also my computer is a Lenovo Yoga
