Those shell packages can be acquired from both external and internal sources, which could mean shell components like the Start Menu, Action Center and Taskbar could be selectively built, based on these acquired packages. Albacore notes that Windows 10 Action Center in these new builds is one of the first features to acquire a Shell package. "The new one should support syncing more advanced and previously legacy options such as File Explorer configuration," Albacore notes. Assuming Microsoft proceeds down this path, these changes may arrive somewhere between March to May 2020, the expected release date of Windows 10 from the 20H1 branch.
