Wndows 8.1 Update

[robertre]

I don't have the search or power button on my start screen on my Lumia 2520, wonder if not having them is an RT thing.

Yup, you should have the search Icon in the top right corner on the Windows Screen

What changed with this firmware update? Not seeing anything different.

I am new to Windows, except on my laptop, so forgive what may be basic questions...
I have been reading through previous posts and if I understand this correctly, the update today I received was to basically get the OS ready for the the next update that everyone is expecting shortly.

1. Will this next update allow us to save apps to the sd card?
2. Will this next update allow us access to apps otherwise unavailable because the OS is RT?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

1. Nope
2. Nope

Go to Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Update: April 2014 and check " Improvements and Issues that this update fixes" (they're under "More information")

So, what's all the commotion about for end users of devices such the Surface, Surface 2 and Lumia 2520 with this new update Microsoft is scheduled to push soon?

It is not going to be soon...well not as soon as next month or the next. This next update (with new start menu, windowed store apps, etc) is at least a few months off st best

Hi All
After this update I have been suffering from lack of volume.... prior it the sound was ok, but now I need to select e.g. 84 to hear the click sounds properly when typing.
However, Youtube videos seem to be ok.

Check the volume mixer to make sure that specific app/sound categories haven't had their volume turned down.
