Additional System and App Enhancements

Input updates include more keyboard settings moved to Settings and improved keyboard backlight performance. The OneDrive icon sees a refresh, while Game Pass references in Settings now show new branding.

Paint app version 11.2511.281.0 introduces a collapsible toolbar. Furthermore, the build addresses issues in File Explorer, Taskbar, and Settings, along with fixes for Internet connectivity and device stuttering.

Advanced Settings now feature a Virtual Workspaces toggle to control Hyper-V and Windows Sandbox functionalities. Quick Machine Recovery offers a one-time scan for guiding recovery options.
