Fixes
General

- Fixed a major issue resulting in the taskbar not applying the Acrylic effect in recent flights. This issue also impacted other components, resulting in some UI elements appearing black or white.
- Fixed a major issue causing Windows Update downloads to get stuck at 2% for some Insiders.
- Fixed an issue where in some languages, including Vietnamese and Arabic, certain characters (outside the A-Z range) weren't displaying correctly for Insiders, resulting in gibberish in places like Task Manager.
File Explorer
- Fixed an issue where when opening the "..." menu in File Explorer's address bar to display a list of folders in the current location, the drop-down list could be cut off and the bottom portion would not be selectable.
Settings

Other
