Yellow caution sign on icon

I expect to see the power8 start icon in the lower left of the screen.

report it.

I think this is a valid bug or at the least a usability issue.

I had the same experience. Playing with it, it appears if either "Auto start" 
or "Check for updates" are not selected (which is the default), the caution 
icon appears. This means, for example, if I don't want to check for updates, 
that it will persistently show the caution icon, which is both misleading and 
annoying.

If this caution icon is to stay, I'd recommend changing the behaviour so that 
once you open the Settings dialog once, it goes away forever. If as a user I 
make the conscious decision not to enable auto-updates, then it should not nag 
me about that by showing a caution icon.

There's a setting to disable the warning icon. 
As a user, make a conscious decision to read the damn manual :)
