Fixes in this Build
Taskbar
- Updated the app icon flashing in the taskbar to be a bit easier to see.
File Explorer
- As some Insiders have noticed, we’ve updated File Explorer so it’s a little easier to see when you have files or folders selected, by adding a thin border to the selected area.
- Fixed an underlying issue causing File Explorer to crash when going to Home for some Insiders in the last few flights.
Notification
- We’ve updated the underlying logic for when we suggest turning off notifications for certain apps, so that it requires a longer period of time without engaging with notifications from that app in order to trigger.
