What is updated with Windows 8.1 update 2?

The second update for Windows 8.1 will be released on August 12 (Patch Day Tuesday), officially named "August Update" (August update). But before we knew that Windows 8.1 update 2 could not re-provide the Start menu, what updates did it bring to everyone?

According to people familiar with the situation, Microsoft is not very important to this "August update", it is not cumulative update, but contains some small design changes, and no significant new features. In other words, this system update will bring about improvements in the interface, but it is also a change in the details.

Microsoft's original plan was not so, and the Windows team initially wanted to build it into another system upgrade as important as Update 1, adding a mini Start menu, but the plan eventually miscarried, and the Start menu waited until Windows threshold to return. Maybe it will wait until spring 2015.

Microsoft is not planning to develop Windows 8.1 Update 3, the source said.

Microsoft is still reluctant to discuss Windows 9 openly, but there are rumors that Microsoft will adopt a new approach that allows users of XP, Vista and Win7 to upgrade to Windows 9, which could be price concessions or even free upgrades.
