3. Windows Share: The sharing feature now offers visual previews of shared links or web content, along with options for image compression when sharing.
4. File Explorer and Graphics Enhancements: Improvements to File Explorer's performance, particularly when extracting files, and enhancements to display-related experiences, reducing screen flashing and unnecessary resets.
5. New Narrator Features: The Screen Curtain feature protects privacy by blacking out the screen while content is read aloud, and users can learn about new features directly within the Narrator experience.
