'''Windows 8.1 ''' - [[Microsoft]] tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan [[Windows NT]] [[Ishlatuv tizimi|operatsion tizimining]] yangi versiyasidir. Operatsion tizim [[2013-yil]] 17-oktabrda chakana sotuvda keng tarqalgan va oʻzidan oldingi versiyasi chakana sotuvga chiqarilganidan taxminan bir yil oʻtib, 2015-yil 29-iyulda [[Windows 10]] ga oʻz oʻrnini boʻshatib bergan. Foydalanuvchilarga Windows 8.1 ni [[MSDN]] hamda [[Technet]]da yuklab olishlari mumkin. Windows kompaniyasi tomonidan [[Windows 8]] va [[Windows RT]] operatsion tizimlarining sinov nusxalarini rasmiy doʻkonlar orqali bepul yangilash tavsiya etilgan. Windows Server 2012 R2 server versiyasi 2013-yil 18-oktabrda keng ommaga taqdim etilgan.

Kompaniya Windows 8.1 ishlab chiqarilganidan soʻng, Windows 8 foydalanuvchilari shikoyatlarini koʻrib chiqishga eʼtiborini qaratgan. Windows 8.1 foydalanuvchilarga quyidagi yangilanishlarni taqdim etgan: kengaytirilgan ishga tushirish ekrani, qoʻshimcha suratga olish koʻrinishlari, qoʻshimcha toʻplamli ilovalar, kuchliroq [[OneDrive]] (sobiq [[SkyDrive]]) integratsiyasi, [[Internet Explorer 11]] (IE11), [[Microsoft Bing|Bing]] tomonidan quvvatlanadigan yagona qidiruv tizimi, vazifalar panelidagi koʻrinadigan boshlash tugmachasini tiklash, shuningdek, bosh ekran oʻrniga tizimga kirishda foydalanuvchi ish stolini ochishning oldingi xatti-harakatlarini tiklash funksiyasi.

Windows 8.1, shuningdek, yuqori aniqlikdagi displeylar, [[3D]] ishlab chiqarish, [[Wi-Fi Direct]] hamda [[Miracast signallari]], shuningdek, [[ReFS fayl tizimi]] kabi oʻsha paytda paydo boʻlgan texnologiyalarni to'liq qoʻllab-quvvatlagan<ref>{{Veb manbasi|url=https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831724.aspx|sarlavha=Resilient File System Overview|ish=technet.microsoft.com}}</ref>.

Ushbu versiya foydalanuvchilar tomonidan Windows 8 ga nisbatan ijobiy qabul qilingan. Tanqidchilar Windows 8 bilan solishtirganda ilovalar uchun kengaytirilgan funksionallikni, uning OneDrive integratsiyasini, foydalanuvchi interfeysi oʻzgartirishlarini va Windows 8 interfeysi bilan ishlash boʻyicha kengaytirilgan oʻquv qoʻllanmalarini yuqori baholashgan. Ushbu yangilanishlarga qaramay, Windows 8.1 hali ham Windows 8 ning barcha muammolarini (masalan, Metro uslubidagi ilovalar hamda ish stoli interfeysi oʻrtasida yomon integratsiya) va onlayn xizmatlardan keng foydalanishning maxfiylik potensialini hal qilolmagani uchun tanqid qilingan.

Windows 8.1 uchun rasmiy asosiy qoʻllab-quvvatlash [[2018-yil]] 9-yanvarda, kengaytirilgan qoʻllab-quvvatlash esa 2023-yil 10-yanvarda tugaydi<ref>{{Veb manbasi|sarlavha=Windows 8.1 support will end on January 10, 2023|url=https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-8-1-support-will-end-on-january-10-2023-3cfd4cde-f611-496a-8057-923fba401e93|kirish sanasi=2022-06-24|ish=support.microsoft.com}}</ref>. Server ekvivalenti [[Windows Server 2012 R2]] ni esa, 2018-yil 9-oktabrda qo'llab-quvvatlash toʻxtatilgan. Operatsion tizimni to'liq qoʻllab-quvvatlash 2023-yil 10-oktyabrda tugaydi.

2022-yil iyul holatiga koʻra, Windows bilan doimiy ishlaydigan oddiy foydalanuvchilar kompyuterlarning 2,83%i Windows 8.1 operatsion tizimida ishlayotganini koʻrsatdi. Windows 8.1 ni [[Windows 11]] undan oʻzib ketganidan beri eng ommabop operatsion tizimlar ichida 4-oʻrinni egallaydi<ref>{{Veb manbasi|sarlavha=Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide|url=https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#daily-20220101-20220207|kirish sanasi=2022-02-09|ish=StatCounter Global Stats|til=en}}</ref>.

2013-yil fevral oyida [[ZDNet]] yozuvchisi [[Mary Jo Foley]] bir nechta Microsoft mahsulotlari va xizmatlarini, jumladan Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, [[Outlook.com]] hamda SkyDrive boʻylab rejalashtirilgan yangilanishlar toʻlqinining kod nomi „Blue“ haqidagi potensial mish-mishlarni oshkor qilgan. Xususan, hisobotda Microsoft korporatsiyasi bozor talablarini qondirish uchun yillik doimiy ravishda chiqariladigan asosiy dasturiy taʼminot platformalariga katta oʻzgartirishlar kiritilishini koʻrsatadigan yanada „uzluksiz“ ishlab chiqish modeliga oʻtishni rejalashtirayotgani haqida batafsil bayon etilgan. Hisobotlarning ishonchliligini isbotlash uchun, Microsoft xodimi Foley oʻzining [[LinkedIn]] profilida „Windows Blue“ bilan ishlash tajribasini hamda Windows 8 operatsion tizimini alohida sifatlarini sanab oʻtganini taʼkidlagan<ref name="pcw-whatisblue">{{Veb manbasi|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/2027618/is-windows-blue-a-set-of-coordinated-updates-for-all-microsoft-products-.html|sarlavha=Is 'Windows Blue' a set of coordinated updates for all Microsoft products?|nashriyot=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|ish=[[PC World]]|sana=February 8, 2013|kirish sanasi=October 19, 2013}}</ref><ref name="zdnet-bluerumor">{{Veb manbasi|url=http://www.zdnet.com/microsofts-blue-wave-is-coming-to-more-than-just-windows-7000010998/|sarlavha=Microsoft's 'Blue' wave is coming to more than just Windows|nashriyot=[[CBS Interactive]]|ish=[[ZDNet]]|sana=February 7, 2013|kirish sanasi=December 19, 2013|muallif=Foley|ism=Mary Jo}}</ref>.

[[2013-yil]] mart oyida Windows 8 ning RTMdan keyingi tuzilishi, 9364-versiyasi bilan toʻldirilgan edi. [[Windows Blue]] deb hisoblangan tuzilish Windows 8 interfeysida bir qator yaxshilanishlarni ochib bergan. Ular quyidagilar: plitkalar uchun qoʻshimcha oʻlcham opsiyalari, bosh ekrandagi kengaytirilgan rang opsiyalari hamda kengaytirilgan kompyuter sozlamalari opsiyalari, ilovalar ish stoli va boshqaruv panelining yarmiga yopishib olish qobiliyati, Share jozibasidan skrinshot olish imkoniyati, qoʻshimcha fond ilovalariga, SkyDrive integratsiyasini oshirish (masalan, qurilmaning avtomatik zahira nusxalarini yaratish) va [[Internet Explorer 11]] ning oʻziga xosligi<ref name="infoworld-bluedesktop">{{Veb manbasi|url=http://www.informationweek.com/software/operating-systems/windows-blue-demise-of-the-desktop/240151656|sarlavha=Windows Blue: Demise Of The Desktop?|muallif=Endler|ism=Michael|sana=24 March 2013|nashriyot=[[UBM plc|UBM]]|arxivurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024202043/http://www.informationweek.com/software/operating-systems/windows-blue-demise-of-the-desktop/240151656|arxivsana=24 October 2013|ish=[[InformationWeek]]}}</ref><ref name="verge-blueleak">{{Veb manbasi|url=https://www.theverge.com/2013/3/25/4144618/windows-blue-video-preview-screenshots|sarlavha=Windows Blue: a video preview of what's next for Windows 8|nashriyot=[[Vox Media]]|ish=[[The Verge]]|sana=March 25, 2013|kirish sanasi=March 26, 2013|ism=Tom|muallif=Warren}}</ref>.

Myerson ushbu oʻzgarishlar kelajakda yangilanishda boʻlishini aytgan, ammo batafsil maʼlumot berib o'tmagan.

Windows 8.1 Windows 8ga qaraganda koʻproq ijobiy sharhlarga sazovor boʻldi. ''The Vergeʼdan'' Tom Warren mavjud ilovalar soni, ish stoli dasturlariga nisbatan ilovalarning qobiliyatlari darajasi pastligi, sichqoncha va klaviatura navigatsiyasi hali ham davom etayotganini his qilgani uchun platformani hali ham „noqulay ishlamoqda“ deb hisobladi. Shu bilan birga, u Windows 8.1dagi koʻplab asosiy oʻzgarishlarni, jumladan kengaytirilgan suratga olish funksiyasi, boshlangʻich ekranni moslashtirishni oshirish, SkyDrive va Bing integratsiyasi, fond ilovalarini yaxshilash kabi yangi funksiyalarni ijobiy baholadi. U „Microsoft 12 oy ichida juda koʻp narsaga erishdi, hatto koʻplab qoʻshimchalar ham Windows 8 bilan boshidanoq boʻlishi kerak edi“ degan xulosaga keldi<ref name="verge-81review"/>.

''ExtremeTech'' kompaniyasidan Joel Hruska Windows 8.1da ish stoli va ilovalar oʻrtasida davom etayotgan integratsiya muammolarini tanqid qilib, „foydalanuvchilar avvalgi foto kataloglariga ega boʻlishi mumkinligini hali ham tan olishni rad etuvchi“ va „Mail“ ilovasidagi shu kabi xatolilarni misol qilib koʻrsatdi. Shu bilan birga, u Odamlar va Yangiliklar kabi boshqa ilovalardagi yangilanishlarni maqtadi (UI yaxshilanishini va Yangiliklar ilovasi faqat ilova tomonidan tan olinishi mumkin boʻlgan nostandart havolalar oʻrniga, hikoyalar almashishda tegishli havolalardan foydalangan holda). Koʻproq moslashuvchan snapping tizimini maqtagan boʻlsa-da, u hali ham kamchiliklarni, masalan, muayyan vaziyatlarda snap konfiguratsiyasini saqlab boʻlmasligini aytib oʻtdi<ref name="extremetech-81review">{{Veb manbasi|url=http://www.extremetech.com/computing/168910-windows-8-1-and-the-desktop-a-modest-improvement-we-still-cant-recommend/|sarlavha=Windows 8.1 and the Desktop: A modest improvement we still can't recommend|nashriyot=ExtremeTech|sana=October 18, 2013|kirish sanasi=January 5, 2014}}</ref>.

''Ars Technicaʼdan'' Piter Brayt Windows 8.1 dagi koʻplab yaxshilanishlarni, masalan, „toʻliq“ sensorli interfeys, „oqilona“ oʻquv mazmuni, ekran klaviaturasidagi yangi avtomatik toʻldirish vositalari, dasturiy taʼminotni yaxshilash va SkyDrive chuqur integratsiyasini yuqori baholadi. . Biroq, u ish stoli va ilovalar oʻrtasidagi oʻtish „hali ham bir oz ajralgan va uzilib qolgandek tuyuladi“ deb hisobladi (garchi Bosh ekranda ish stoli fon rasmini ishlatish opsiyasi uni oʻxshash emas, balki ish stoli interfeysi bilan koʻproq integratsiyalashganligini his qilgan boʻlsa ham) va Ishga tushirish tugmasi qayta tiklanishi ish stoli va ilovalar oʻrtasida qanchalik farq qilishi sababli ikkita interfeysni yanada nomuvofiqroq his qildi<ref name="ars-81review"/>.

Windows 8.1ning baʼzi jihatlari maxfiylikka taʼsir qilgani foydalanuvchilarni tashvishga tushishiga sabab boʻldi. Windows 8.1 ni koʻrib chiqishda Joel Xruska Microsoft foydalanuvchilarga sinxronlash uchun Microsoft hisob qaydnomasi bilan bogʻlanmagan „Mahalliy“ hisob yaratishni ataylab qiyinlashtirganini taʼkidlagan<ref name="extremetech-81review"/>. Microsoft xodimi Vudi Leonxardning taʼkidlashicha, sukut boʻyicha Windows 8.1ning „Aqlli qidiruv“ tizimi qidiruv soʻrovlari va boshqa maʼlumotlarni Microsoftga yuboradi, ulardan maqsadli reklama uchun foydalanish mumkin. Leonhard buni istehzoli deb hisobladi, chunki Microsoft oʻzining " Scroogled " reklama kampaniyasida [[Google|Googlening]] shunga oʻxshash taktikalardan foydalanishini tanqid qilgan<ref name="infoworld-herosnoop">{{Veb manbasi|sarlavha=Windows 8.1's 'Hero' ads&nbsp;– brought to you by stealthy snooping|url=http://www.infoworld.com/t/microsoft-windows/windows-81s-hero-ads-brought-you-stealthy-snooping-229907|ish=InfoWorld|sana=October 31, 2013|kirish sanasi=January 24, 2014}}</ref>.
