Windows 8.1 Update 1 is expected to be launched in early April at the BUILD 2014 developer conference, but a leak is expected these days, as the company continues development of the final versions.

Since interest in this particular update is increasing every day, plenty of fake ISOs have reached the web, many of which are claiming to contain leaked files with the current Windows 8.1 Update 1 testing build.

Most of these fake ISOs are distributed via file sharing websites, so plenty of users are actually downloading them already, but a quick hash check proves that files included in the pack have actually been launched last year.

Windows 8.1 Update 1 is expected to pack a big number of changes, including options to pin Metro apps to the taskbar and plenty of performance improvements, some of which have already been delivered to users via Windows Update.
