New features and changes[edit | edit source]

  • Unlike build 8140, which used the "Windows 8 Beta" branding in System Properties and winver, the branding has been reverted back to "Windows Developer Preview" in those areas.
  • New wallpapers and themes have been added.
  • The Start screen wallpaper can now be customized.
  • The Immersive Control Panel has been renamed to System Settings.
  • Metro apps can now be closed.
  • Store now has a blue tile.
  • Windows To Go received its final name.
  • The Protogon file system was renamed to ReFS.
  • The flat Network tray icon in the taskbar has been updated to be less similar to its metro version and now resembles the final release.
