Improvements in this update

This update includes the following new features and improvements in Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Settings changes for Update and Recovery
This feature introduces new information in the Windows Update settings, and gives you more information on how up-to-date your systems are by displaying the most recent check for updates and the last date on which updates were installed.
Precision touchpad improvements
This feature adds the following user settings to control the behavior of precision touchpad devices:
  • Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected
  • Allow right-clicks on the touchpad
  • Double-tap and drag
You can find these settings under the Mouse and touchpad menu in PC Settings.
Ruble symbol update
This feature adds new Ruble currency support for input and rendering.
Wi-Fi Direct APIs for Discoverability
Wi-Fi Direct APIs for Discoverability are a new set of APIs for Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV) or computer OEMs to develop Windows-based applications on all supported x86-based and x64-based versions of Windows 8.1. This enables IHVs and OEMs to build a Miracast receiver on Windows. These Windows 32-bit APIs make the computer discoverable and accept incoming Miracast connections.
Video capture metadata for MP4
This feature adds capability for developers to read and write the "Date taken" and GPS data on MP4 files by using Windows Runtime and Win32 APIs.
Minimizing Logon Prompts for Microsoft SharePoint Online
This feature reduces the number of messages about federated use when you try to access SharePoint Online sites. If you select the "Keep me signed in" check box when you log on for the first time, you will not see messages for successive access attempts to that SharePoint Online site.
