 * I’m experiencing the same problem. Clicking on any link that takes me to the 
   admin section results in a screen saying “No Update Required Your WordPress database
   is already up-to-date!” and clicking the continue button takes me back to my 
   sites’ front page.
 * Suggestions are appreciated.

 * Managed to resolve the issue by downloading WordPress 3.9 and updating it manually
   via FTP.

 * Alnasirkarim: I’d get in contact with your webhost and ask if they can clear 
   the memcache on the server and see if that fixes the problem.

 * FYI: I had this issue on my self-hosted site. I needed to re-start the service
   stack anyway, and that fixed the problem. Definitely points to a caching issue,
   either with PHP or Apache/Nginx.

 * A similar issue occurred with the update to WordPress 3.8.3 It doesn’t happen
   to every site.

 * I’m seeing the same issue. After upgrading one of my sites to v3.9, when I navigate
   to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft (which is normally how I get to my blog)
   and wait a second or two, my entire dashboard disappears. If I click the any 
   link other than Posts before the dashboard disappears, the dashboard stays where
   it should.
 * It seems to disappear only when I click on Posts in the dashboard.
 * Very odd.

 * On my ftp, there is no .maintenance file, no object-cache file
 * that being said, there does appear to be something called batcache…would this
   be the same as memcache on the server side? Should I delete or rename?
 * Thanks, anyone.
