According to recent articles by Network World website and PC World website, Microsoft has also stated that Windows 8 users need to install the Windows 8.1 update to receive the critical security patches for Internet Explorer and other applications.

Microsoft has postponed this deadline already once, so it is good idea for Windows 8 users to install the Windows 8.1 update to keep your system protected and make use of the user-friendly additions. Microsoft is also urging customers to update their Internet Explorer to version 11, which is more secure and is receiving several security updates in this month’s Patch Tuesday.
