Now Win8 users to update Windows Store application must be downloaded through the application store itself, but there are signs that the leaked version of Windows 8.1, the future users will be able to Get app updates via Windows Update.

Windows Store

In the previous Win8 leaked version, a video editing application called Movie Moments appeared, and in the subsequent Build 9385, an automatic push update was obtained through Windows Update. Not through the Windows Store. This seems to mean that Microsoft has been able to update the applications that come with the system through Windows Update.

However, this view is not certain, because Movie Moments itself is not downloaded from the Windows Store, but directly built into Win8.1, so it can only be updated through Windows Update.

But it’s not surprising if Microsoft really decided to update in this way, because the built-in applications and security patches on the desktop are updated via Update, and the Win8 application is through the app store, so the two systems The splitting seems a bit complicated.

At present, even if Microsoft schedules an update for Win8 applications, 80% is limited to the built-in Microsoft application, and other applications will still be updated through the Windows Store.
