When you select multiple apps, the Clear selection option is also available from the context menu. The Windows Store App was pinned to the Desktop Taskbar, by default.
While the majority of the options in the context menu were available in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, the Pin to taskbar and Unpin from taskbar are new to Modern Apps. When you right-click, instead of showing the App bar at the bottom of the Start Screen, where you needed to get to with your mouse each time, you now get presented with a context menu: The third and four improvement only becomes available after you right-click on the Start Screen. When you left-click the Search icon in the top right corner of the Start Screen, the Search menu appears, just like when you start typing on the Start Screen, when you press Win + S or when you open the Charms Bar and select Search from it. When you right-click it, nothing happens. When you left-click the Shutdown icon in the top right corner of the Start Screen, a context menu appears with two options: Shut Down and Restart.

By no means, do they imply the implementation of inclusion of these features in the final release of Windows 8.1 Update 1. The information and screenshots below are part of build 9600.16596 as installed with 14_GDR_LEAN.140114-0237_X64FRE_CLIENT_EN-US-IR3_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5.iso media. While this release focuses on the integration between Windows Phone and Windows for the desktop, laptop and tablet, it also features a slew of User Interface (UI) improvements for those still on the fence on The New Interface (previously referred to as ‘Metro’). Last night, during SuperBowl XLVIII, a version of Windows 8.1 Update 1 was, inadvertently, released to the web.
