Changes

 * Updated some of the emoji designs.
 * You can find an emoji by keyword in over 150 languages and locales, including British English, French, German, Spanish and many more.
 * You have more control over UWP apps accessing the file system. Selected UWP apps will be granted permission to have broad file system access. If an app has the file system access restricted, a consent message will pop up, asking the user if they want to confirm or deny the request.
 * Added a new Settings page for file system access. Here, you can turn it on or off for each app that has requested this capability. UWP apps with broad file system access do not appear in the Photos, Videos, or Documents privacy settings pages.
 * Added a new power management scheme called "Ultimate Performance". This is only available in the Pro for Workstations SKU.
 * Made the tiles for some UWP app placeholders when you connect to the internet on the Pro for Workstations SKU productivity and enterprise focused instead of being consumer focused.
