The new ISO will be available on April 14
http://windowsitpro.com/windows-81/windows-81-update-1-iso-be-released-april-14-2014-vlsc Sent from my Surface Pro From: Johns, Damon (DoJ) Sent: Thursday, April 3, 2014 4:55 PM To: SMS 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! Thoughts anyone?
