However option is only available on Windows 8.1 Pro and Enterprise. You’ll also be able to include a PC into a domain from the PC settings with a new “Join a domain” option located on PC and devices, PC info.
Now photos and audio files that are open on PC without touch hardware will default to Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media Player, while in touch-enabled hardware Windows 8.1 Update 1 will open such files on Metro-style apps by default. Also a few media player apps are showing playback controls while pinned in the taskbar, like in Windows Media Player, Music, Spotify, etc. Some, but not all Metro apps also are getting support for jumplist in the taskbar, which are quick shortcuts to specific app options and recently opened files. Jumplist and playback controls for Metro apps So this means that you’ll see running Metro apps on the taskbar and by default you’ll see the minimize option on apps. The “Show Store apps on the taskbar” option now is enabled by default, but the option has been renamed to “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar”.
When launching or switching to a running Windows Store app from the taskbar, the taskbar stays visible until you move the mouse away, but now the taskbar is transparent once again. Interesting enough this new black bar with the options to minimize and close apps becomes visible for a few seconds while launching an app, indicating you have those options. Windows 8-style apps changesĪnother Windows 8.1 Update 1 changes included in the near-final version of the package is the new black title bar that appears at the top of Windows 8-style (Metro) apps. The same behaviour will occur with the new context menu for live tiles in the Start screen, it will only appear for non-touchscreen devices. SEE ALSO: Windows 8.1 Update 1 ISO leak: thorough dive into new features and changes Power OptionsĪlso the new Power Options located in the top-right corner of the Start screen seems that will only appear on non-touch PC hardware to make it easier for people with keyboard and mouse to Shut down, Sleep, and Restart. One tweak that appeared in previous leaks was the “PC settings” tile in the Start screen for easy access to Windows’ Metro-style “Control Panel”, but in the latest leak the live tile is nowhere to be found - though you can still create your own shortcut and pin it Start. Perhaps one of the “biggest” changes in the latest Windows 8.1 Update 1 leak is that Microsoft has finally changed the name of SkyDrive to OneDrive system-wide.
