High-contrast themes (which previously used the Classic appearance) are modified to use the new visual styles. вЉћ Win+ Tab в†№ now toggles between Windows Store apps and the desktop. Aside from the taskbar, the new theme uses fewer transparency effects than the previous Glass theme. This is intended to prevent skeuomorphism.

Windows 2000, NT 4.0, Server 20 compatibility modes were removed.

Windows 8.1 restores this feature partially although unified search still does not search keywords or metadata like scoped search. The default category is Apps, but can be changed before or after performing a search. It can search ' Apps', ' Settings', ' Files' or within an app-specific index (such as, for example, e-mails from the Mail app) but not all at once.

A category-specific search replaces the former. Windows 8.1 no longer automatically adds newly installed programs to Start screen.

'Recent documents' menu is removed from Start screen.Replacement methods for invoking Start screen include a hotspot in the lower left corner of the screen, where the Start screen tile pops up, and a Start button among ' the charms'. Start button was removed from the taskbar (although it was re-added in Windows 8.1).
