Windows 8.1 Hide New features

After months of waiting, the Windows 8.1 preview is finally officially released, bringing up a lot of gaps in Windows 8 and a new application experience.

You must have been familiar with the biggest change in Windows 8.1 is the return of the Start button and Bing's control of the Search toolbar, the split-screen feature, and the customization. But do you know anything about the subtle features of the new operating system? These details are not as dazzling as the Windows8 app Sync and IE11 tabs can support a variety of devices, but they're easy to use and intimate. These hidden new features are in some obscure corner of Windows 8.1, and unless you dig deep enough for new systems or read this article, it's hard to find them all at once.

Shutdown from Start button

First let's start with some basic, but not so obvious, features.

Yes, the button is back, but the Start menu doesn't. So, if you don't know the secret of the Start button, then you may need to find half in the charm bar to turn off your computer. So what's the secret about the Start button?

When you move your mouse to the Start button in the lower left corner, and right click, a bunch of options pop up, including quick connections to features that are very difficult to find, such as Disk Management, command-line tools, and shutdown restart options.

In addition, no matter what program you are using, just hold the "Start" button with your finger for about a second, and the pop-up option lets you choose whether to shut down or reboot your computer, eliminating the hassle of fiddling with hidden menus.
