Yes, another leak from WZor. This time, the screenshots show that Microsoft is changing the way we shut down and restart Windows 8.1, and now it's actually a lot easier. The new Windows 8.1 Update 1 screenshots highlight a new power button on the Start screen, positioned next to the user's account name and next to a new search button.

How to shut down Windows 8.1
The same leaked screenshots show that Microsoft is also adding a context menu when right-clicking on a live tile and from any app in the All Apps screen, which will allow users to easily access common options like resizing, pinning and uninstalling individual modern apps and other options. This basically means that you don't have to select a live tile or app and move the mouse to the app tray to access the same options at the bottom of the screen.

These are only minor changes to the operating system that Microsoft is preparing for Windows 8.1 Update 1. However, they address the disapproval of many Windows 8 users, requiring end users to re-teach how to shut down or restart the operating system using the +i keyboard shortcut from the Charms bar and Settings menu. In Windows 8.1, the software giant integrated the shutdown and restart options into the Power User menu (+X), but I suspect these options were still hidden from the average user. The new context menu, on the other hand, further hints at Microsoft's plans to integrate the Metro UI into the desktop.
