If you installed Windows 8.1 Spring Refresh 1 and just can't stand waiting to get Aero back, you can go to "Windows and Features" and then "View Installed Updates". Highlight KB2919355 and at the top you will see the word "Uninstall". After a reboot with a not so long "Windows Updating" you will have your Glass back. I did NOT uninstall the three other updates and things are running just fine. If you have not installed Refresh 1, Glass is much more valulable IMHO.

Not that I'm complaining, but I'd like to report a BUG. When spanning two monitors, when Explorer throws up a dialog box, it pop's up right in the middle of the two displays as if it's centered as one big display instead of poping up in the center of the active display, so half the window is on one monitor and the other half is on the other monitor. Minor, but worth mentioning.

Dual Monitor second screen BLACK & WORKAROUND! I installed Beta2 and still experienced the same BLACK screen on the second monitor. This is what I did to get the second monitor to work. 1. I decided to install the Beta AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta 6 Driver for Windows® Last Updates: 10/25/2013. My setup involved having my computer monitor (Shown as Software Display #2) as the Primary monitor (DVI/SVGA @ 1920 x 1200) and my HDTV w/sound (Shown as Software Display #1) (HDMI @ 1920 * 1080). I went to Screen resolution and selected the HDMI TV and checked "Make This my main display" when it was black. To my amazement, when I clicked Apply button, both displays came to life and Aero settings are back as I had them with Windows 8.0. and work on both monitors. If I select Monitor #2 as the primary display, it goes back to the black screen on the HDTV (Monitor 1) again. I moved the primary taskbar over to monitor #2 and moved my Gadgets over there and the only downside right now is that I must have the TV turned on to log into windows. I would be more than happy to privide any logging or test anything to help correct this issue.

I was working just great with Windows 8.0. If I read all 10 pages of comments before I upgraded, I would have waited for Beta 2 before taking the plunge. I donated and the auto download is working. It's flawless on monitor 1, but since I really need my second monitor, I have it turned off. I also have the same second monitor not working (black at startup) or frozen with whatever background is there. Mouse works. AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series 2D Driver Version:8.01.01.1346 I eagerly await Beta 2. Until then, I'm in the sideline.
