   • It Happens Automatically, and it's Free. This time around, there are absolutely zero hoops to jump through to get the latest version of Windows. Starting April 8, Windows 8.1 PCs will be automatically updated through Windows Update.
   • Boot to Desktop. This much-requested feature was available in Windows 8.1, but Update now makes it the law of the land—for laptops and desktops, at least.
   • Power and Search Buttons on Start. Yes, you could always (and still can) just start typing at the Start screen to search for apps, but with Windows 8.1 Update, a clear button at top clues you in to this.
   • Smart Mouse Tweaks. A lot of what's new in Windows 8.1 may be so subtle that you may not notice it explicitly, yet you get a sense that things just work more smoothly.
