Microsoft Delivers Fixes for Windows 8, Windows RT

As previously announced, the February cumulative update includes fixes designed to improve Surface Wi-Fi reliability and connectivity, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed. Microsoft also has provided a fix for the app-store-downloading bug that a number of Surface RT and Windows RT users reported a few weeks back. The problem resulted in Windows RT systems entering Connected Standby while the devices were downloading new Windows Updates via Automatic Update.

The result was users were unable to get Windows Store applications or related updates. The problem and update are detailed in Knowledge Base article 2808380. Part of the fixes for Windows RT (and Windows 8, as well) are driver updates improving performance with Windows, Volume and Power buttons. Among these fixes is one designed to make sure Windows 8-based devices wake from sleep when users press the Windows key or Home Button.
