On gaming:

"Updates an issue that prevents gaming services from opening certain games for desktop users."

"Updates an issue that plays the sound for selecting something in a game loudly when you press the trigger button on a game controller."

"Updates an issue that prevents power plans and Game Mode from working as expected. This results in lower frame rates and reduced performance while gaming."

A lot of games were struggling to run properly recently, glad to see they're finally getting it fixed.
