As with the previous build—14901—there’s exactly one new feature in this build: “a newly refined sound set.” What does that mean, you ask?

“We aspire to set a new bar for mobile sound set quality, and are trying to make the soundscape of technology more beautiful and harmonious,” Ms. Sarkar explains. “This also helps align with new sound design direction of the Windows platform as a whole, so that mobile sounds will family with desktop and tablet and be feel instantly familiar to all Windows users.”

You can find the new sounds in Settings, Personalization, Sounds.

Additionally, Microsoft made the following fixes and improvements in this build:

Edge UI issues. Microsoft fixed an issue causing a large blank space to appear between the address bar and web content after the address bar moves back to the top when opening a new tab in Microsoft Edge. Additionally, you can now navigate to the Edge address bar by typing CTRL + O.

Narrator Scan mode is updated. Narrator Scan mode was updated so that table navigation now supports CTRL + ALT + HOME to go to the beginning of the table and CTRL + ALT + END to go to the end of the table.

Sketchpad and Screen Sketch issues. Microsoft fixed an issue resulting in Sketchpad and Screen Sketch crashing after trying to change the ink color twice in a row when the ruler was visible.

And there of course some minor known issues on both PC and Mobile. Check out the Microsoft post for the lists.
