While Microsoft hardware teams present their new products on stage, software teams are still working on the new version of Windows 10 that is to be commercialized within a month.
Compared to previous build, the new version brings several fairly interesting new developments. Let’s start with Windows activation system, Microsoft will simplify the activation of Windows 10. So far to qualify for the free upgrade, it was first installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1 and then proceed with the update, and activate Windows license with a Microsoft account. It will now be possible to activate Windows 10 directly with a product key of Windows 7 or Windows 8. This new capability sets the stage for complex procedures without own facilities, for people with a product key for Windows 7 or 8.
Another new feature is the universal application messages developed by the Skype team is arriving on new build. This application becomes the official Skype application for Windows 10 Store and synchronizes conversations with its Windows Mobile 10 with access to the same application. Ultimately, the application will be able to synchronize the SMS, hope it will also be possible to send SMS directly from the computer by using the phone as a relay.
Microsoft Edge has also been updated with this new build. The Preview tab is now enabled and quite convenient to use. Favorites and bookmark list will now synchronize with other devices that have access to this build. Finally the rendering engine has also been updated with some new features.
Some refinements also on interface side because some icons have changed appearance in news Windows 10. Microsoft aesthetics also changed the color of the title bars to more pronounced colors. The publisher states that it was a suggestion of Insiders. The Start menu has also been slightly reworked with a little more explicit menu, which shows icons necessarily correspond with the sizes of small, medium, wide and large tiles.
This new build allows Cortana understand handwritten notes to draw reminders, as here a note on 12 October. Cortana will ultimately be able to understand reminders based on a place or a date. A feature that could be of interest to the growing number of tablets compatible with the use of a stylus. Perhaps more interesting for the general public, Cortana will now be able to pick up the movie tickets reserved in your emails to alert you when you have to leave your home. It may also offer you booking an Uber transportation directly from your location to the cinema where the ticket was booked.
Known issues
This build is very stable since the release of Windows 10, but has some known bugs.
First, the Xbox application suffers from a bug which makes it consume more RAM if you have win32 classic games on your computer. To fix this problem, simply terminate the application.
The search bar will not work if Windows 10 is set up with a country where Cortana has not launched yet. Microsoft is actively working on a fix for this problem.
The WebM codecs and VP9 are currently no longer supported in Microsoft Edge, but expected to return in a future build.
A bluescreen problem can affect small devices like Dell Venue 8 Pro during the update. If this is the case, the device will return to the previous build
