Get-Help about* finds only a single article

According to the book "Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches" there should be various about-articles in the help system which present further background information on a specific topic. E.g. about_common_parameters should describe the eight common parameters each cmdlet supports.

However, executing Get-Help about* on my PowerShell 4 instance immediately shows about_BITS_Cmdlets. According to Get-Help * this is the only article starting with about_.

I already updated the help system with Update-Help -UICulture "en-us"...

Any reason why those articles are not installed?

Edit: Windows 8.1 if that matters.

PowerShell must be run "as Administrator" for Update-Help to work correctly.
