What's New in Windows Update 1 8.1

Hello friends, today's tutorial we will talk about news that brings OS Update 1 8.1 Windws
As you probably know by April 8 was released for Windows Update 1 8.1, update that has bring a more pleasant user experience. Microsoft has probably realized that many users have not migrated yet to touch screens or touch to tablets and then have said little to improve the user experience of the operating system. Even when you sit triumphed in front of a computer, if it has a monitor with touch support, touch monitor touch to work with applications, operating system, are unnatural in such a case. We are all accustomed to use the mouse and keyboard you give us more security in using the system and in some cases helps us to be even faster than we do monitor touch gestures.
As a result Microsoft has decided to bring Windows Update 1 8.1 the following improvements:
- we can add Metro UI applications (or applications from the Start screen) to the Taskbar in the Desktop interface or we can remove them
- in the Apps section we can filter the applications by name, installation date, most used, by categories
- The taskbar in the Desktop interface can now also be displayed in the Start interface. Unfortunately this is automatically hidden if it is not used when you are in the Start interface and in order to make it visible you will have to place the mouse arrow (mouse cursor) at the bottom of the screen.
- applications from the Start interface (those downloaded from the Store) can also be launched from the Desktop interface if they have been added to the Taskbar
- in the upper right part for the applications from the Start interface, the close and minimize buttons have been added. When you minimize an application from the Start interface, it will be minimized in the Taskbar and can be brought back to the forefront by clicking on its icon in the Taskbar.
- in the Desktop interface, in the top right next to the username, the Sleep, Shut down, Restart button has been added
Tied performance after installing Windows Update 8.1 1 can tell you that RAM usage dropped 10%. I can not guarantee this because I used Windows 8.1 Update 1 in a virtual environment but I noticed that before Update 1 mode incactiv system used 50% di 1 GB RAM and after I installed Update 1 system used 40% of 1 GB RAM
You can do Update 1 through Windows Update and it's free, its official name is "Windows 8.1 Update (KB2919355)". Its installation took 30 minutes during which it was downloaded and then installed requesting a restart to the user

    Pros: - Fast,
    - Stable,
    - My update had around 886 MB I don't know why, I have 8 on my laptop and there it had 400 or so MB,
    - From now on, start directly in Desktop mode, without having to go through Metro UI

    Cons: - I can't play a game on Win 8, I have to have 7 on another partition to play.

      8 from Windows Release Preview, Consumer Preview, Enterprise, you can not update to Windows 8.1
      You can make updates to Windows if you installed Windows 8.1 8 8 Pro or Windows RT

      • Well I pro 8 windows.

        • Adrian Gudus said

          Check in history updates (we have shown in this tutorial how you do that) if you have installed updates and KB KB 2871389 2917499. Without these two updates it will not be offered to the watered-8.1
          After you install you should find the update in the Store.
          If you still have two updates installed when the following steps:
          - go to the Desktop interface
          - Press the Windows + R keys
          - in the Run box type "wsreset.exe" (without the quotes) and click OK
          - the Store will open instantly but do not look for the update yet
          - restart the computer and when you come back open the Store and look for the update again
          It is possible that Store Your not show the newest content and the above command in Run reset date Store website, you give a refresh

    • Adrian Gudus said

      We already have a tutorial on hardware verification that you have to find out if you can install Windows 8 / 8.1 on your PC. Up to know how it will behave you first need to find out if you have drivers available for your components.
      Search with the search box on the top right our tutorial on "How to find out if the software and computer are compatible with Windows 8.1"

      • If I sit for a while and think… running now Win 7 will run just as well as Win 8 / 8.1 (correct me if I'm wrong).

  13. Adi Condrache said

    Very loud .. If I was still a fan of windows I really used it :)) .. but it seemed to me that with the new 8.1 everything was slower… So I switched to Linux Mint 16 Mate which seems much faster than Windows, especially on the net… However, I disabled almost all the services on Windows 8.1 and all the visual effects, I made a classic theme from the one with high white contrast and I keep it for video games .. I don't really think I'm going to I'm moving back to Windows 😐
    Thanks anyway .. Information

  14. Hello I have a vodafone smart 3 and I want to root it nice you could please do a tutorial on this topic? Thanks in advance!

  15. Howdy,

    I've installed the windows update 8.1 1 and I had no problem with it when I installed various software (drivers etc) and in games has grown less FPS, eg Dayz Standalone 40 had something fps and now I 50 something.
    The only thing that represents an "impediment" for me is the fact that in utorrent when I download another one a strange buzzing sound is heard from the source (not the fan speed etc.) ) and as nothing is downloaded anymore or as I exit utorrent the base stops instantly (if I watch movies or even if I play something 4-5 hours continuously nothing is based) but more strange is the fact that in windows 7 ultimate when download through utorrent no buzz is heard but only in windows 8 versions.
    Source is practically new, acquired acu` two months, and still is certified 80 + (corsair builder series cx500 v2) and did not think I'd work something out with the guarantee since solely in uTorrent and only in Windows versions 8 ..
    Thank you.

  16. I've installed the latest update from 8.1 and have the following problems:
    When I give shutdown stops and the LED remains lit on headphones but what bothers me most is that I press any key PC starts. All this is happening after I installed this update.

  17. Ubuntu LTS launched 14.04, Adriane, a tutorial presentation wait for him

  18. I did this update, it works ok, but I have only one problem. When I give a refresh on the desktop it gives me C: \ User \ Ovi \ Desktop is not accessible, and I can't do any "shortcut on the desktop. I'm wrong. I am waiting for an answer. Thanks!

    I'm honestly not a big fan of Windows 8.1. I recently found out that Windows 9 Preview launches on September 30 - October 1. Will you do a series of tutorials just like in Windows 8 - 8.1? I personally use Windows 7 and I think that only Windows 9 can attract me to upgrade.
