Feb 15, 2017  I just care to use that update for fixing the bootloader since 8.1 does not work with windows to go usb stick. Windows 8.1 August Update (aka Update 2) Now Available for Download. UPDATE: Recently Microsoft pulled August Update files because a few users were facing various issues such as BSOD, font rendering issues, etc after installing these updates. Now Microsoft has re-released August Update with fixes for those issues.

Windows RT 8.1 Update 3 has been in the works for quite some time and it represents the last major update users will see, as Microsoft has abandoned the development and announced that Windows 10 won’t be coming to Windows RT devices.

KB3033055 is available immediately, but it might take some time before it reaches everyone. If you own a Surface RT, Surface 2, or a Nokia Lumia 2520, you can go to Windows Update to get the update 3 manually. (Don’t forget to check the Optional updates, if you don’t see the new update available to you.)

In the screenshot you can see that Start menu for Windows RT is very similar to the Start menu available for Windows 10. However, the new menu for RT devices is much similar to the Start menu available on Windows 7.

In fact, the version of the new Start menu for Windows RT 8.1 is the design we have seen on early builds of Windows 10 Insider Preview. The reason is because the new Start menu found in the final version of Windows 10 is built using XAML and new API’s that are only found in the new version of the operating system.
