From a prior message:
I discovered, by luck, that if I go to the sprocket and select "View Your Updates & Requests" seems to stop the spinning hourglass (or whatever it is called in Windows 8) in the Home tab.
I discovered that trick no longer works.
After I booted up nearly three hours ago, I notice that the hourglass is still going strong.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
The Apps tab still looks the same as previously posted.
