Here's a link that discusses changes in the August 2nd upgrade.

Two changes of possible interest:

The reviewer  from Computer World says:

"Probably the best change is that the All Apps list appears when you click
the  Start button, so that you immediately see an alphabetical, scrollable
list of all the apps and desktop applications on your PC. Before this, you
had to first click the Start button, then click All Apps. Saving a single
click might not sound that important, but until this update, I rarely found
myself using All Apps. Now I use  it all the time."

Nice for him, perhaps, but I want the search box when I press the Windows
key!  We'll see.

Also, he says:

"There's one change to Cortana that a lot of people might not like: You
can't  remove it or turn it off. Before this update you could go to
Cortana's settings and move the slider from On to Off. No longer. Now
Cortana is always on. 

 However, you can limit what the digital assistant knows about you. Click in
the Cortana search bar, then click the Settings icon (it looks like a cog)
on the left side of the pane that appears. Turn off what you see there, such
as your search  history, device history and so on."

I know Window-Eyes disables Edge as the default browser in the search box
for us.  It would be great if it also kept the start search box when we
press the Start menu key.  But we'll have to wait and see how this works.
