News/Discussions On Windows Upcoming Products: W8.1Update-x;W365;WThreshold;Win9

omg everything is 400% snappier now. Incredible what MS can still squeeze out of 8.1.

 

Here is my list (incl. Visual Studio, Office 2013, etc.):

Greetings from Czech Republic!

 

Is Update 2 contain all rollup update may-july 2014 ? (It's look like contain if you count their size)

 

So it won't be iso's?

 

Is it bug or new feature ? When I minimize app (or close it) it's bring me back to start screen and not to desktop like before (After install of Update 2).

 

Installed yesterday's updates and although I never use Metro I've just tried. When I minimize an app it returns to the desktop with the app on the taskbar.

 

Is your build 17238 ?

Just installed Update 2 and I don't see any difference. Quite unnecessary update if you ask me. ISO would be very nice but I doubt we get one.

 

Nope, it only supersedes a few updates, and the previous rollups are not among them.

Btw,guys,isn't it amusing how many people are still complaining about how Update 2 doesn't change a lot... when there wasn't an Update 2,since they changed the release model to something resembling a rolling release in the same vein as LMDE or Chrome OS ... which was pointed out repeatedly in the discussion threads?
As for the August update - I wonder if the push to make devices running Windows 8.1 function as Miracast receivers the groundwork to turning the xbox one into a true HTPC replacement. It does seem to mesh well with the rumours about the improvements of the console's media capabilities (Video On Glass, new DVB-T/T2/C tuner attachment..)

 

I have a bug.

apps minimize to start screen instead to desktop.

 

You mean the sidebar instead of the taskbar?
Do you have the show apps in taskbar option enabled?

 

It minimize to taskbar but in Start screen and not desktop.
Yes it enable.

Am I need to install windows again ?

 

Uhm, this update2 is a tempest in a teapot!
Windows users feel punked a little bit, huh?

 

Finally! It was really annoying that after you start Metro app from Start Screen and then minimize it or close it, you're redirected to Desktop. It stupid idea. If I start app from Start Menu, I want to find me again in it after I close app.

EDIT
Stupidity continues. After closing Metro app running on desktop, it still redirects to Start Menu.

Dear Microsoft,
how about this idea:

1. If I start Metro App from Start Screen, after closing it take me to Start Screen again;

2. If I start Metro App from taskbar, or after starting it from Metro, I go to desktop and then open app again, after closing it take to the Desktop again.


How hard is to understand that???

 

That it was what annoyed me too but now they switched to the logic behaviour. I'm quite sure they modified a couple of other things as well which we didn't find yet
