 * Fixed an issue that was causing FPS to decrease when playing certain games due to the wrong graphics card being used.
 * Fixed an issue which could cause the camera light on a laptop to get stuck on after logging in.
 * Fixed an issue believed to be the root cause of bugchecks when opening and copying files from network locations.

 * Fixed an issue causing the left-half of the File Explorer title bar to not be draggable via mouse or touch.
 * Fixed an issue causing Home, Documents, Pictures, and potentially other folders to become unexpectedly duplicated in File Explorer's navigation pane or appear on the desktop.
 * Fixed an issue where selecting multiple folders and then using the context menu option to open them in a new tab would unexpectedly open the first folder in a new tab and all the others in a new window.

Shell

 * Fixed an issue which could lead to the taskbar overflow flyout unexpectedly appearing on the opposite side of the screen.
 * Fixed an issue that was causing the animation on the taskbar that plays when a user switches from using a device in tablet posture to desktop while in overflow to incorrectly show when logging in.
 * Fixed an  crash which could happen when determining if the taskbar overflow should display while switching out of a full screen game.
 * Fixed a Start menu crash that could prevent apps from launching from it.
