- added Copilot (AI helper in the middle of your screen) - start menu items show more info when you move your mouse over them - quick settings in the taskbar bar - better volume control, now different for each app instead of one big sound - ads can now be placed around the screen - taskbar icons changed to "never combine" so they don't merge with other apps - labels appeared on desktops when you moved between them - it is now possible to hide the date and time in your settings - notifications show up as a bell icon with colors from your favorite pictures - some banner messages got a new look - developer option to close an app from the taskbar quickly (turning this off by default) - added network health check right next to the start button - new file explorer powered by WinUI - changes made for sharing files between computers - added Windows Backup app (works even if you are not on work or school accounts) - new emojis appear in your list of friends and settings - voices now exist so narrators can speak better - Windows Speech can now read words instead of just saying things - passkeys act as a safe password to log into websites and apps without typing passwords again - advanced protection against fake phishing pages on the Win Defender tool - automatic color management for SDR mode improves how colors look in apps (10-bit colors plus a higher panel recommended) - some Windows settings changed. This is just a preview, so it might still be installed even if you don't see changes yet until Microsoft releases an update. On my computer though, I already have these changes enabled!
