Microsoft today released an improved version of the News app for Windows 8.1, so all users should receive the new build in the coming hours.

Just like always, the updated version is being delivered to users via the integrated Windows Store, so in case you haven’t changed the default Windows 8.1 configuration yet, the new build might already be running on your computer.

Since no release notes have been provided, the new version is most likely aimed at fixing bugs and addressing performance issues, so all users are strongly recommended to download it especially if they’ve been experiencing problems with previous builds.

As mentioned, the new version of the application is automatically delivered through the integrated store, but you can also download News for Windows 8.1 manually to see what’s new.
