Anyone notice anything different with the Surface update? Seems a bit zippier but it could be my imagination/wishful thinking

9 updates, 337Mb on my laptop.

And it's working like it was before, nothing seems to be improved.

I'm not sure if it's due to an application I used, or this update, so I'm asking here. (The application was "OblyTile".)

My IE icon on the Start screen is now the metro one, all the time. Previously, the icon would change between the desktop and metro versions depending on whether or not IE was the default browser.

Now, Nightly is my default browser, but the IE icon is still the metro version.

I'm not complaining about this, just curious if something in this batch of patches is the cause.

You should have received a lot more then that, are you sure they didn't auto apply last night? Check your Update History.

Ah, after installing that and restarting, it found 16 important and 1 optional (Bing Desktop, bleurgh). So yeah, all is well.

No, it's been there even before the update. I've asked the OblyTile author about this and he has no solution other than creating a new IE shortcut.
