Windows 8.1 update 2 said to arrive on August 12th

4.7
Over the past few weeks, Windows 8.1 update 2 has been referenced many times, but so far, no one has been able to figure out what all the update includes. It seems that this update will be small, when compared to update 1, and may only include enhancements to stability rather than front end features.

If you are wondering when update 2 will arrive, that is, after all while you are reading this post, thanks to some leaked information from our Russian friends, update 2 should arrive in August. Specifically, the update should be part of 'Patch Tuesday' which is the 12th of the month.

The image you see above comes from a Russian source and is said to be authentic, although, we cannot confirm that image is genuine Microsoft documentation. But, based on everything we had heard prior to this document surfacing, it aligns perfectly to that information.

For now, know that update 2 is right around the corner but don't expect much with the update unless Microsoft has found a way to avoid the leaks that generally reveal what is in each update.

Personally I like Windows 8, I am not using it on a touch screen PC or tablet just my normal everyday/gaming PC. I look forward to the upcoming update.

All my computer that I still use are all still on Windows 7, it just is that classic feel that you get from windows and it is really simple to use. I personally if I had a choice would go back to the days of XP as I personally loved that OS. As of this update I don't think we will be seeing any major changes as usually we see leeks containing the amazing new features.

Download 'Classic Shell'. I have it and it's the same as Windows 7. (I have Windows 8.1)


or you could have stardock 8 which does the same thing more or less
