- Disabled the “Change how capitalized text is read” feature in Narrator due to a reading reliability issue.

- While the bug that was causing the built-in night light to not work correctly was fixed in May 2019 Update build 18323, bugs still persist with other blue light reduction software not working.
- When using Reset this PC and Keep my files is selected on a device that has Reserved Storage enabled, the user needs to initiate an extra reboot to ensure Reserved Storage is properly working again.
