Bugfixes

 * Fixed an issue that was causing voice access to take some time to turn on after using the wake-up command.
 * Fixed the issue that was causing an error dialog to pop up when clicking on the "Open File Location" command in File Explorer.
 * Fixed the issue that was causing no action to occur when clicking on the "Remove from list" command in File Explorer.
 * Fixed an issue where Microsoft Edge tabs would show when pressing Alt even if System > Multitasking in the Settings app was set to "Don’t show tabs".
 * Fixed an issue where the search icon on the taskbar could end up overlapping the Task Manager icon in the title bar.

File Explorer

 * The access keys in the XAML context menu may appear inconsistently if no button is pressed. Pressing a button will cause them to reappear.
 * Clicking on the Share command may bring up the Windows share sheet (non-OneDrive) when the file recommendations feature is enabled.

Taskbar

 * The search box on the taskbar may be disabled in certain cases.
 * Users may see the daily rotating search highlight for some time before getting the new Bing button back to the search box on the taskbar.

Settings

 * When adding a language via the Language & Region page, the installation progress may become hidden, and users may not see install completion for enhanced speech recognition.
 * The Language & Region page may not offer the necessary speech recognition language support for live captions for up to an hour after first login.

Live captions

 * The enhanced speech recognition support may not be installed correctly through the Language & Region page in the Settings app on ARM64 devices.
 * Captioning performance may be degraded in non-English languages and missing out-of-language filtering in non-English (United States) languages.

Safe mode

 * Quick Settings and date/time clock on the taskbar may be missing due to the  service not running.
 * Clicking Bluetooth & devices and Personalization pages may crash the Settings app due to an overrun of a stack-based buffer.
