Microsoft is preparing a small upgrade to Windows 8.1, offered as a package update that introduces new features and reduce RAM consumption, enhancing system performance on Windows 8 tablets.
Described as “a relatively minor update” Update 1 package will be available free to update devices with Windows 8.1 from 11 March. Delivered by the Windows Update service, package update brings yet important changes in the structure of the operating system, in order to lessen the requirements for RAM and storage space. The measure is intended to prepare the ground for a new wave of tablets with Windows 8.1 system with reduced set of specifications and selling price ranged for the budget solutions.
On the surface, Windows 8.1 introduces support for fastening Modern UI applications in the taskbar from desktop interface and display thumbnails on their content then move the cursor over. In the chapter “innovations” we also introduce the Close button in the Modern UI application interface that provides owners with touch screen devices a practical way to close the applications they no longer need. Also for users that have mouse and keyboard is the new set of menus available by right-clicking the Modern UI interface.
Still used as the primary display, the Home Screen will finally have a Shutdown button, positioned in the upper right corner, next to the new Search button. Unfortunately those who hoped to see introduced a “Mini” version for Home Screen, which mimic the old Start Menu in Windows 7, will probably remain disappointed.
