New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Metro shell[edit | edit source]
The left-side charms menu has been reduced to a singular start button that opens the start screen when clicked. The right-side charms bar can be brought out again by bringing the mouse to the top-right or bottom-right of the screen (present but is only accessible using a touchscreen by default in builds 8008 to 8032 or by pressing ⊞ Win+⇧ Shift+C in builds 8045 to 8157).
In the Settings menu, the option to open PC settings has been moved below the power options, and now reads "All PC settings".
A new default user account picture (similar to the Bill Gates mugshot) has been added.
