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.

  • Why can not I upgrade to 8.1 from 8?
    I installed Windows 8. I entered and emerged there STORE update to Windows 8.1. I clicked and I said you have to install updates. I installed updates gave restart and now it appears upgrading to Windows 8.1 in store. what is the cause.

    • 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

        • 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

        • Loud, have you learned that these guys give you all the Walls in gura..dati made a search on google first:

          If you do not see KB 2919355 in the list of available updates, you Might Be missing one or more required updates. Follow the previous steps to check for updates, install all important updates, particularly 2919442 KB, restart your PC, and the then check again for KB 2919355.

  • Hi Cristi, you can make a tutorial about a gigabit router purchase guide for the optimal running of the gigabit internet from rds, but also to talk about the wireless power of a router. A beautiful evening :)

      • In vain you have a Gigabit router if your network controller from the PC / laptop is 10 / 100 10 no Mbps and / 100 / 1000 as has Mbps Gigabit router.
        To get the maximum Gigabit be like other wireless devices connected to the router always be Gigabit.

  • Adrian, please tell me how will behave Win 8.1 the following configuration:
    - AMD Athlon (tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 3600+ 1,91 GHz processor
    - 1 GB RAM

    • 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).

  • Hi Adrian, if possible and you know why it is buzzing, I would like you to tell us or make a tutorial about that update that microsoft says will bring back that similar start as in windows 7 and when it will appear in windows update .

    • That update will come a little later ... or maybe not. Rumors are rumors, you can't believe them 100%

  • Hi!
    My question after I viewed this tutorial is how you have made Tollbar your windows transparent as to 7? because I miss this one too transparent honest! Thanks so much for an eventual answer, but for all other tutorials that you make. London will follow!

    • I have not done anything. Windws site's default, as it was after installation, without modification or software customization / modification aspect

  • Hi Adi !, I also have a problem, when I try to update to win 8, when I try to update 8.1 he tries to put it in, restarts, he does his job, but he can't finish it, and after, gives restore to windows 8 simple ... can you give me a suggestion, what could I do? I saw on some forums, to update the video card, to remove everything I put on USB and I don't use them, I did all this, in vain, what else could I do?
    this is the error: Sorry, we couldn't complete the update to Windows 8.1. We've restored your previous version of Windows to this PC.

  • Hello Adrian Sami can respond to me dc on windows8.1 not go all the games I like windows8.1 but do not go all the games it happen?

  • Adrian hello and congratulations for video.

    I am writing to you with a question. At the moment I have installed windows 8. Every time I try to install windows 8.1 it gives me an error and I can't start the system anymore. After long attempts I noticed that this is due to the wifi card. If I turn it off in the BIOS it installs perfectly, without problems. AM a Dell studio xps 1640. The wifi card in question is Dell wireless 1515- Qualcomm Atheros Communication.
    Have I any idea what I could do in his 8.1 can run Win? Win 8.1 think you can install the new update without problems

    Thank you in advance,
    Razvan
