New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Shell[edit | edit source]
The "Share with" cascading menu in the context menu for directly sharing local files with apps, introduced previously in client builds, has been ported to Windows Server. It's disabled by default, but can be activated manually by enabling the 45286384, 48433719 and 52800817 velocity staging keys.
Bugfixes[edit | edit source]
The blank option on the Privacy & security page in the Settings app, which would cause the app to crash with the 0xc000027b exception code when clicking on it, has been removed.
