Windows 8.1 Update is an important update for its platform Windows 8.1. They provide many UI improvements as well as functionality improvements (although the update brought essential features that were missing from earlier versions). While most of the changes are obvious, there are some new features that you may not have noticed, even if you have installed Update 1 since it went online.
Let's explore some of these little improvements.
- Changes in app closure behavior: On the tablets after the application of Update 1 by closing a current application the user is transferred to the previously used application. And correspondingly, in traditional computers, the shutdown of all των εφαρμογών θα οδηγήσει τον χρήστη στο desktop, και όχι στην αρχική οθόνη.

- Boot on the desktop, by default, for regular computer users : If you have a traditional computer without a touch screen, Windows 8.1 Update will take you to the Desktop screen by default when you start your machine.

- The button operation it does not appear on tablets or slates : The Windows 8.1 Update has a separate power button on the startup screen (also called the Power Options button). However, this button is not visible for devices referred to in Windows as tablets or slates because these devices often have a physical shutdown button to shut down or have the Connected Standby feature that can put the device on stand by. If you have one tablets larger than 8,5 inches that does not have Connected standby (InstantGo), then you will still see the power button on the home screen.

- New View of Apps : You can see more applications on one screen in AppsView, as there is a setting that compacts the tiles. From the Apps screen, hover over the bottom right> Settings> Tiles> Say YES to Show More Apps in Apps View
