DISCUSSION: Windows 8.1 Spring 2014 Update RTM

Ok, after installing the big update the "Windows 8.1 Pro" indeed disappears from desktop.
Also I noticed it fixed all my "problems" I had with the 1007 update.

-Fixed the weird taskbar bug.
-Fixed the volume icon issue.
-Fixed a SDcard problem. (sometimes wasn't recognized)

It feels polished enough and could be final RTM to me.

I think Windows8.1-KB2919442-1 replaces KB2919442. If I try to install KB2919442 then it says "update Not applicable to your computer"

 

@jygoro

I just noticed that KB2919442-1 is reversed in x86

for x64, KB2919442-1 is newer than KB2919442
for x86, KB2919442 is newer than KB2919442-1

 

Not sure if this was there before but..

* Corners have a delay, works for charms but kind of breaks the already broken usability with the Switcher
* Switcher has a bug, if you wait until it shows one Tile and that grey box that shows "another" tile is there, and you move you cursor between these it will just disappear again so you need to move your mouse much faster or it just disappears everytime you bring it up from the top

Also Taskbar still glitches and has a uncanny flash when using a background image, plus im not sure but whats the point of the Taskbar staying if i can't even bring it back without going back to the desktop? The only way i can bring it back is by using Winkey+T, not with mouse, am i missing something?

They also semi-fixed the Taskbar button bug where if you set your Taskbar to Small and go to the Corner on the destkop to switch to Startscreen it's small, but when you leave it gets big.. now it stays small but still breaks in Metro apps.

 

i found an issue
when i make right click in the tree of file explorer
explorer.exe crash and the screen turn black for a second
this issue still in vista/7/8/8.1

 

how many free space do you have in your hard drive with windows?

 

I can't go to page 9 in this thread. It always go to page 8.

Are you sure????

..... After MS compiled 9600.17024, 6 minutes later, 17025 compiled ...... make a wild guess.

 

So, no way to find out if this last leak is the real RTM? maybe M$ announces the sign-off?

 

What you should be asking is whether or not it's legit. The answer is yes.
Whether or not it's RTM is irrelevant. They really stopped having stringent quality controls when they went to the 1year cycle.

 

The timestamp indicates when the buildmachine started compiling it, not when building is done.

 

Is there a specific stand-alone update that can be downloaded for those who already installed the first Escrow leak? I keep seeing so many links, and this one download is 800Mb!

 

iam confused so where is this new mension updates ? i dont need another new ISO i need only updates thanks for answers.

 

I hope there will be win8.1 ISO with all previous update (rollup) and win8.1.1.
It's mess to install all these updates and then win8.1.1.

 

but this 8.1 upd 1 is only updates not another ISO i think

 

But if someone want to make clean install, he need to make install twice ?
1) win8.1 regular install.
2) win8.1.1 update install (It take more time to install than win8.1).
