Does going from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 improve security?

Does Windows 8.1 provide more security compared to Windows 8? It says it has the built-in Windows Defender but if you installed an AV program on your own wouldn't it make no difference? Also the addition of start button is meaningless if you already installed Classic Shell.

I just wanna know if it's worth upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.

These kind of questions and information can easily be found in articles online.

My era of providing technical support and malware removal on HackForums is over, so you can stop PM'ing me about it. Sorry.

The answer is yes, as that is one of the main reasons Microsoft has invented updates. You don't notice a new feature after every update you get from Windows Updates. Ever though about that? 😎

No ground breaking security changes but it is always best to stay up-to-date with things.

No. It merely fixes bugs that were in the previous version and removes the shit that annoyed you in the previous version.
