Further changes refer to explorer, where new icons were introduced or the folder sorting was changed. Other changes relate to the Start menu, where you can remove tiles from groups and folders with a unpin context menu command.

The on-screen keyboard has also been optimized. If you type quickly, you will often hit the wrong key. However, this can affect the accuracy of the text prediction. To fix this, Windows dynamically adjusts the hit destination of each key when you type. Based on the prediction of which letter will most likely be entered next, the sensitive area of a key is enlarged.
