14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just announced a new update aimed at Windows 8 systems that will bring performance and battery improvements.
The update, released two weeks before the public debut of the new operating system, will be automatically delivered to Windows 8 machines via Windows Update, so no user input is required.
Among the improvements, the patches are aimed at performance, power management and battery efficiency, media playback, and compatibility, Microsoft said.
“If you are an MSDN or enterprise customer, these updates will be available for your Windows 8 PCs via Windows Update as of today (October 9), following our standard cadence for Windows Updates on the second Tuesday of each month at about 10:00am,” Microsoft explained in a statement.
