New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Changes to the Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimization page, initially implemented in build 25982, have been publicly rolled out.
When clicking on the "Set default" button under the Privacy & security > Location page for setting default location, a new "Set Default Location" dialog will appear instead of redirecting to the Maps app.

Support for viewing and editing metadata in PNG files has been implemented.
The Windows Maps and Movies and TV apps will not be installed by default after doing a clean install, although they will not be removed when upgrading from earlier builds.

Fixed an issue that was causing File Explorer to crash in Windows Sandbox when using a non-English display language.

Some popular games may not work correctly.
Blank options may show on the Personalization and Privacy & security pages in the Settings app. Clicking on them may crash the Settings app with the 0xc000027b exception code.
Text on highlighted items in Microsoft Management Console and some of its snap-ins may have a yellow color.
The system may get stuck at the boot screen when booting into Safe mode.
