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 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.
- System Information now shows the BIOS mode on which Windows is installed on.
Bugs, quirks, and observations[edit | edit source]
Start[edit | edit source]
The navigation headings of Start's all apps list may contain garbled text in the Chinese language.
DiskPart[edit | edit source]
Diskpart will report after launch that it is being deprecated and might not be available in a future release.[2]
German language version[edit | edit source]
Since not all of the strings have been translated yet, some places remain in pseudo-localized English.
