  • Windows in the language of its image. Setup was always told to use en-US, so an image without it (a UK one carries only en-GB) stopped at the language page. The wizard now lists the languages the ISO carries in a Language dropdown, and Setup, the locales and the keyboard use the one picked.
  • Driver updates from LSW updates. The manager compares the driver package it ships with the one in the guest and, when they differ, offers "Update the driver" on the Graphics page and the overview: it uploads the package and re-signs and installs it in the guest.
  • The display scale changes while Windows runs. Settings → Scaling applies at once, in Windows' own steps ("Match this desktop" at 1.2 is 125 %), instead of waiting for the next sign-in.
  • One shell per Windows session. The Console keeps one cmd.exe for the user and one for SYSTEM while the manager runs, so a cd holds when you leave the page and come back.
  • Minimised windows stay on the host. A minimised Store app (Calculator) no longer closes its mirror, and a maximised window restored from minimised comes back maximised at its own size.
  • Integrated GPUs named correctly. An AMD iGPU is "AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics" rather than a laptop part's name from the PCI ID database, and Intel names no longer repeat "Intel".
  • accel-virt: shared objects of every graphics API are kept per host GPU in the executor (ABI 16), and the guest driver images are built reproducibly.
