Fixed an issue where the Home page in the Settings app might show a prompt to sign into the Microsoft account, and fail to sign in if users tried to use it, even though Settings itself showed users were already signed in.
Fixed an issue that was causing Quick Settings crashes and ⊞ Win+A to not work.
Fixed an issue that was causing taskbar icons to disappear after switching desktops.
