I was one of the those who tried the W8.1 preview and it worked well on top of W8.
When the actual release came I came on board quickly but the installation did not work, not sure why as it was w8.1 release on top of 8.1 preview.
Firstly with 8.1 preview I could not log into store to get the full version so I ended up going back to my original W8.. From here I then went into the store and downloaded w8.1. From then it was all downhill
Once loaded it was soooo slow.
Once I logged on as a user I would get a blank screen with cursor. I could however pres alt+cont+del to get task manager and from there open the directory but not desktop. I did find that if I did nothing the desktop would come in 5-10 minutes after I had logged on. Odd very odd.
The black screen appears to be not unusual from the many blogs I have read with different issues causing the black screen in different computers.
I have now done a total reload with W8 and will wait until there is a fix until I log back on
