    Microsoft has just revealed the list of apps that could be blocked, disabled, or “change behavior” after the Windows 8.1 update, as the company is trying to make sure that no compatibility issues exist.

    The list comprises popular apps such as ZoneAlarm, McAfee AV products, Trend Micro Titanium, Panda Security, Visual Studio 2012, and Outpost Antivirus Pro 8.

    A compatibility update delivered to machines supposed to be updated to Windows 8.1 improves user experience by fixing issues in ZoneAlarm, for example, while also changing the behavior of some apps on the new OS version.

    SuperNova won’t be installed on Windows 8.1, the company explained, and users will be provided with an URL for more information about the product.

    This is the list with all apps impacted by the update to Windows 8.1:

    SuperNova up to 12.51
    Searchqu Toolbar
    ZoneAlarm 2013
    Expression Studio 4 Ultimate 4
    McAfee AV Products 2013
    Trend Micro Titanium 2013 for NTT
    Panda Security up to 2014
    Outpost Antivirus Pro 8
    Outpost Security Suite Pro 8
    Visual Studio 2012
