   When you enrolled in ESU, that's a different "stream" of OS, and   
   consequently ALL the Windows Inbox Applications must be re-downloaded.   
   Even though they might not be materially different.   
      
   It will be a while until Patch Tuesday, and you get to see whether   
   ESU actually gets a Security Update.   
      
   I don't know what the support policy on your Metro.Apps is now.
