After upgrading one of my laptops with preinstalled Windows 8 to 8.1 in November 2013, I detected that the Store tile on the Start screen has never displayed update count. I do not have a lot of 3rd-party installed Metro apps on that pc, but as I remember, this tile indicated 1-2 available updates at least every two weeks when I was working with Windows 8 all the previous year.
What can be wrong?
FYI:
- I am logged in to my WinLive account on this pc and in the Store App as well.
- The 'Live tile' setting is on for the Store tile. But AFAIK, even if I set this off, I can see the updates when I open the Store app.
