A new preview of Windows 10 (build 10125) has leaked onto the internet unveiling a number of improvements and features over the last official preview, Windows 10 build 10122 . The slightly newer version includes updated icons, new customization options for the Start menu, updated Jump Lists, Windows Hello, and a few new improvements for Tablet mode.
