I just did a clean installation of windows 8.1 on my laptop from my media recovery disk. I downloaded Google Chrome but the Desktop Icon does nothing. I went to the Chrome.exe file in Program files (64) and did the "create shortcut" which works but I get the UAC box. I already checked the "run as administrator" box in properties.
Something isn't set up correctly but I don't know what it could be. Firefox and IExplorer work fine. Suggestions?
