The minor Windows 8.1 update may give the basic functionalities like shutting the device down, pulling the control panel and other necessary computer management too by right clicking the Windows icon in the taskbar; but this update includes the traditional Start Menu that we have accustomed to in Windows 7. However, it still has the influence of the Metro Style UI since the tiles are now integrated in the Start Menu giving the new platform a best of both worlds.
