New features and changes[edit | edit source]
User interface[edit | edit source]
Boot screen[edit | edit source]
The boot screen has been modified to feature the new looping progress bar design first included as part of build 6741's setup process, replacing the previous full-screen aurora design.
Taskbar[edit | edit source]
Task icons in the Superbar have been made slightly smaller to accommodate for the task jump list button. Tasks that are focused by the user now have darkened background icons to better indicate the current task, and the background color of both the Superbar and task previews have been significantly darkened, compared to the previous available build.
Notification tray[edit | edit source]
Tooltips for notification tray items no longer have icons bound to them. The overall design for hidden notification tray items has been changed to no longer sport a black dialog design, instead using translucent border designs and a white foreground dialog design. The button used to show hidden tray items has also been changed to use a new arrow design and a square button shape, in place of the previous circular Vista design.
Flyouts[edit | edit source]
The Windows Solution Center have been redesigned to sport a smaller design and includes new status iconography featuring the lighthouse seen in earlier builds.
Desktop Window Manager[edit | edit source]
More Aero Snap-related animations have been added. They can be triggered by resizing a window to the top or bottom side of the screen. The ripple feedback animation played when snapping a window has also been updated to become more visible to the user.
Deprecations and removals[edit | edit source]
Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker have been declared as deprecated in favor of their Windows Live variations (Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Live Movie Maker),[a] with the former application being removed from the operating system entirely.[b] If attempting to upgrade to this build, Windows Setup will notify the user of the aforementioned deprecations and removals.
All sample content from Windows Vista has been temporarily removed.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Windows Photo Gallery remains as a cut-down version of itself.
- ↑ Components for Windows Mail still remain in the Windows side-by-side component store (and are additionally hard-linked to their respective application folder), but its respective executable (
WinMail.exe- part of theMicrosoft-Windows-Mail-Appcomponent) is no longer included in associated component manifests, and for a brief period of time, was no longer compiled in source. The application executable itself would (under unknown circumstances) eventually start being built and be included in component manifests again at some point during development of either the original Windows 10 release or the Windows 10 November Update, but was still not included in any Windows edition.
