A Twitter account called Albacore developers a detailed description of the new components in a Build 18917 called "Shell Update Agent" is; In particular, he noted that the assembly "can access and update the shell as needed."
For most Windows 10 users, this feature may not make sense. For Windows watchers, however, this may not be Microsoft announced Windows Core OS Program noteworthy trends; the operating system, Windows modularized, calling a series of shell sizes for different devices of varying appearance of from HoloLens, Surface to a dual-screen device (such as the recent disclosure of Santorini shell called Centaurus laptops), to name a few.
Albacore went on to explain, Shell Update Agent Reference "series package name" (Package Family Names), which indicates that "shell is indeed a separate package components."
These packages can be obtained from the shell external and internal sources, which may mean you can get based on these packages, selectively build these shell components like the Start Menu, Action Center, and Taskbar.
As Albacore pointed out, calling ShellUpdateAgent of StartInternalPackageAcquisition will "magically" Install from a Microsoft shop called "UX.Client.ST" the UX package. However, the utility now just stub (placeholder).
Albacore 特别指出，这些新版本中的 Windows 10 Action Center 是获取 Shell 包的首批特性之一。
最后，特别提到的另外一个与 shell 有关的改变涉及用于同步设置的新方法。
