Windows 8.1 to get a Start Menu in August
The long awaited Start Menu will be available in a second update to Windows 8.1 which is currently scheduled for August according to The Verge. Microsoft’s Terry Myerson demonstrated an early version of the Start Menu earlier this month (screenshot above) at company's Build developer conference. The Start Menu looks like a hybrid of the old Windows 7 Start Menu mixed in with some Windows 8 Live Tiles along one side. The Metro part of the start menu can be expanded and more live tiles can be added to it.

UxStyle Black Screen Fixer - Emergency patch for UxStyle users
With black screen solution proposed by Alex Ong (eXAKR), I created emergency patcher while waiting for Rafael’s official updates with black screen bug fixed. I also include adding UxStyle service in safe mode as Rafael suggested to do too. It’s highly recommend to apply this fix if you’re running custom themes with UxStyle, UXTheme Multi-Patcher, Windows 8 Transformation/UX Pack or OS X Mavericks Transformation/UX Pack.
If you already have black screen problem and have trouble running this fix, press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to invoke Task Manager and run new task from there.

U.S. Homeland Security: Stop using Internet Explorer until bug is fixe
US Computer Emergency Readiness Team and its British counterpart told people to stop using Internet Explorer until Microsoft releases a patch to fix a serious bug. A new Internet Explorer vulnerability that affects all major versions of Internet Explorer has been discovered.
The bug allows attackers to install malware on your computer without your permission. The malware can be used to steal personal data, track online behavior, or gain control of the computer. Security firm FireEye, which discovered the bug, said that the flaw is being used with a known Flash-based exploit technique to attack financial and defense organizations in the US via Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11 running on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Microsoft's security advisory describes the nature of the exploit:
The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer.

Windows 8.1 to get a Start Menu in August
The long awaited Start Menu will be available in a second update to Windows 8.1 which is currently scheduled for August according to The Verge. Microsoft’s Terry Myerson demonstrated an early version of the Start Menu earlier this month (screenshot above) at company's Build developer conference. The Start Menu looks like a hybrid of the old Windows 7 Start Menu mixed in with some Windows 8 Live Tiles along one side. The Metro part of the start menu can be expanded and more live tiles can be added to it.
