New features and changes

 * The kernel version has been changed to 6.3.
 * This is the earliest available build to contain the "slide to shutdown" feature, and the application for this can be found in, called "SlideToShutdown".
 * New Metro apps (Alarm, Calculator, Movie Moments, Sound Recorder).
 * New customization options for the Start screen.
 * Improved Snap feature allowing one to snap Metro apps at lower resolutions than in Windows 8 (with the minimum resolution being reduced to 1024x768).
 * An early version of the redesigned PC Settings app, with an option to switch back to the previous version from Windows 8.
 * Improved SkyDrive (later OneDrive).
 * An early version of Internet Explorer 11.

Start screen personalization
The "Personalize" charm in the Start screen introduced in build 9299 were updated to include background options, which still feature the same set from Windows 8.

PC settings
This build includes a new version of the PC settings app, with an option to switch back to the previous version from Windows 8. Being an early version, there are various imperfections such as the search bar appearing over title text.

Windows Setup
Setup is visually the same as the previous build, except that there is no "Microsoft Confidential" watermark (it returns in build 9370). The OOBE also has a different color picker for the Start screen, and a different message when an invalid computer name is entered.

Bugs and quirks

 * The "Start" text on the preview that appears when hovering on the bottom left corner of the screen is pixelated.
 * The settings charm has different colors on the tiles.

Blank screen on boot
This build often boots up to a blank screen after logging in, instead of loading the start screen directly. Left-clicking at the screen or pressing the Windows key can load the start screen and allow the user to continue.
