Windows 8.1 Update 1 will be officially launched in April at the BUILD developer conference, but some important details are still unavailable at this point.

For example, nobody knows for sure whether Windows 8.1 Update 1 will be delivered as downloadable patch, via Windows Store or through Windows Update, as Microsoft clearly needs to find a way to make it easy for users to get their hands on the update.

Information provided by leaker Wzor and published by WinSuperSite reveals that Windows 8.1 Update 1 will be provided via Windows Update, as users experienced quite a lot of issues when trying to download Windows 8.1 from the store.

Of course, the update will be absolutely free for all users running Windows 8.1 and since it’s going to be delivered through Windows Update, the entire deploying process should be completed with minimum user interaction.
