The system tray has been updated to hide the notification bell icon by default if the date/time clock is enabled. This change will not affect the Do Not Disturb icon. These changes are disabled by default, but can be activated manually by enabling the 46874415 and 48433719 velocity staging keys. As part of this change:
- A new "Show notification icon" toggle switch has been added to the "Notifications" section of System > Notifications in the Settings app for manually toggling the notifcation bell icon.
- The options for toggling abbreviated date/time and clock with seconds in the system tray have been moved from Personalization > Taskbar to the "Show time and date in the System tray" section under Time & language > Date & time in the Settings app.

The shared files may not appear if there has been no interaction with that file.
Keyboard focus may be lost on selection of an unselected tab item.

The Widgets board may be incorrectly positioned when Copilot is in side-by-side mode.
