Privacy improvements. When your microphone is disabled in Privacy settings, a pop-up notification will appear the first time you attempt to use it.
Windows Mixed Reality improvements. You no longer need to be attached to a physical display, which is ideal for backpack gaming PCs. And apps can now capture images of the mixed reality world using the system capture experience.
