Steve Sinofsky, Microsoft's director of Windows, said the latest update helps computers achieve higher performance, improved compatibility, better presentation tools and energy management. According to Mashable, Microsoft's move surprised the tech industry because it was a bit contrary to its " practice. "

Traditionally, after the release of Windows, the manufacturer released Service Packs to fix bugs, improve performance and add new features. Earlier, after launching the latest Consumer Preview, Microsoft announced that Windows 8 was basically completed, just waiting to check and fix some bugs before the official release later this month.

The Microsoft representative explained that the reason they did so was because he wanted to "challenge me to come up with" post-RTM "updates" earlier than Service Pack ". The official added that the new update will be delivered to users via Windows Update software.

Last weekend, Microsoft also made updates to a series of Windows 8 applications such as Mail, Calendar, People, Messaging; Photos; Finance; News; Sports; Travel; Weather; Video; Musi and Games.
