Weird Symbol on Metro Apps in Windows 8.1

[bikeman25]

Hi All

 

Just upgraded to 8.1 this morning, all went well, except maybe this issue that I don't understand, Most of metro apps have a Down arrow and a line under it, any idea what that is, is something wrong with my install?   or just a normal thing.

Click to download the app (it kept a list of apps that you had installed, but they should be re-downloaded before running).

Yes clicked them, and they open up just fine now..but symbol remains for some reason

Something hasn't refreshed yet. Usually you get this when all the metro apps aren't downloaded correctly, fully or the licenses aren't synced. Sometimes you get a little mini circle with an X in the center. Just restart the system to see if it persist.

Oh ok thank you, will restart in a few minutes, and see if does persist....just got concerned that something didn't go in right earlier, but I guess nothing too major to worry on..

 

Fixed--Removed Megatube, and all the other apps took away there symbols, I remember earlier now Avast alerted that Megatube was infected, and blocked it--Think will end up removing Avast and just using Windows Defender like I did on Windows 8 with 8.1 later on today

I have got this as well. When I installed the new facebook app, avast alerted me that it was infected. I have uninstalled the app and avast but still no change.

As hopeful as I was, doing the things in this post and restarting did not bring my live tiles back http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1_pr-windows_store/live-tiles-not-working-for-windows-81-preview/a4f26cd5-20a5-44d5-adfa-4b2a8d2742b1

Reinstalling all apps with the symbol worked for me.
