Microsoft is in the process of rolling out the Windows 10 Creators Update, the latest major update to its current desktop operating system. Here’s what you can expect from the Creators Update:
- Visual previews of tabs in Microsoft Edge.
- Edge now has built-in support for ebooks.
- Microsoft Paint now lets people create models in 3D.
- Picture-in-Picture mode for videos. Essentially you can now have a small window with video playing on it placed on top of any other application.
- Night Light: A baked in feature in Windows that will allow you to change the color and tone of display so that it doesn’t pain your eyes to look at the screen at night.
- Dynamic Lock: The feature first requires you to pair your phone or tablet with the computer. Once done, it will automatically log you out everytime you’re away from desk (or technically speaking, the device is out of the computer’s proximity).
- Native support for surround sound.
- Ability to scribble and make notes on Microsoft’s Maps app.
- Game mode: It “ensures” your computer is always maximizing its resources for an optimal gaming experience.
- Built-in support for mixed reality handsets.
It should hit Windows Update on April 11th, but if you know where to look, you can get it today. Not that I would if I were you as there is the remote possibility that a critical bug will be found and addressed between now and April 11th. Plus, hardware and software vendors may need the additional time to do updates of their own to make sure that they can play nice with this update. The update will be free to all. More info can be found here.
