I think that's been looked at and only a few changes have been noted....
What to do in a hotel room, after a new Windows version (well update) has been released? Well, of course, see what changes there are... After comparing the policy definition files between Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise I noticed there were some differences. For example, the following new group policies were added: * User: Show Windows Store Apps On Taskbar. * User: Turn On Cloud Candidate (only applies to Microsoft CHS Pinyin IME) * Computer and User: Turn off the ability to launch report site problems using a menu option. In addition I noted some small bug-fixes, like changing SupportedOn values from SUPPORTED_WindowsBlue to SUPPORTED_Windows_6_3 Also found an interesting comment in the startmenu.admx file: "TODO: SUPPORTED_Windows_6_3 should be changed to the new version", wonder if that ever happened :) [image]<http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Portals/0/Blog/Files/1/168/Windows-Live-Writer-New-Group-Policies-in-Windows-8.1-Update_120CE-image_2.png> Once of the new group policies in Windows 8.1 Update. / Johan More ...<http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/168/New-Group-Policies-in-Windows-8-1-Update.aspx> View article...<http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/168/New-Group-Policies-in-Windows-8-1-Update.aspx> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schwan, Phil Sent: Friday, 4 April 2014 8:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: Windows 8.1 Update from SUS polluting your image? Any word on corresponding Group Policy admin templates being released in conjunction with Update 1? -Phil From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Johns, Damon (DoJ) Sent: Thursday, April 3, 2014 4:56 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: Windows 8.1 Update from SUS polluting your image? Has anyone thought about what is going to happen when we approve the Windows 8.1 Update and Config Mgr SUS / WSUS then goes and pollutes our deployed instances of Windows 8.1 with modern apps and shortcuts to the store on the taskbar that we may not want? A. We sit behind a corporate proxy and the Windows Store is blocked B. We remove all Modern Apps from our image C. We don't use Windows 8.1 Modern Apps or the Start Menu a lot as we deploy it to some desktops and mostly Surface Pro's where there intended use is in training rooms that don't use Modern Apps (in a Prison Environment) Johan has already noted that when you install the 2012 R2 Update it places the store in the taskbar. Yep, I'm really going to need access to the windows store from my server..... Anyway, I have already created a new base Windows 8.1 Update wim file with the pinned store icon removed and all the modern apps removed. So new builds are fine, but I don't want to have to go and rebuild all my Windows 8.1 instance just so I can control what content I deliver in the image and what my business deems is appropriate to include in it. It's an 'update' not a new OS!
