Service Pack 1 addressed many user complaints by improving the overall performance and stability of the operating system,. New features include Bitlocker Drive Encryption support on multiple partitions, support for the exFAT file system, and DirectX 10.1.

Notably, the update removes the Search link on the right-hand pane of the Start menu, and the Search option in contextual menus for folders in Windows Explorer.
