14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 10 build 15002 got leaked a few days ago, and now Microsoft is making it available for insiders enrolled in the Fast ring as well.
Build 15002 is one of the most important releases so far and comes with a lot of changes, many of which we’ve already spotted in the last couple of builds that got leaked.
For example, there are several Microsoft Edge browser updates, including a new tab preview bar and options to set tabs aside, both of which were part of build 14997 that was leaked in December. There is also a jump list for Microsoft Edge to quickly open a new window or an InPrivate window, but also support for web payments and Flash click-to-run behavior.
Windows 10 build 15002 also features tile folders in Start, which should come in super handy to those who use a lot of universal apps. Folders work in a similar way to those on Windows phones, and you can easily organize them using drag and drop.
The same build introduces an updated share UI, which is likely to cause some controversy, and now includes a new flyout that changes based on your usage.
Microsoft also improves high DPI support for desktop apps and offers a smoother window resize to offer a similar experience for both Win32 programs and universal apps.
So many more improvements
Connecting to VPN is also faster now thanks to an improved flyout, and the taskbar also includes a Lunar Calendar for Chinese users.
There are plenty of Cortana improvements as well, including a new WIN + C keyboard shortcut for invoking the digital assistant, more recurrence options for reminders, as well as suggested commands for apps that support this feature.
Accessibility and Windows Defender have also been improved with this build, and so has been the Settings app, which now features more information for each screen.
There’s also the eagerly-anticipated Lower Blue Light, which automatically lowers the amount of blue light from your PC at night to make it easier to use without daylight.
There are many other improvements in this build and it is definitely worth a try, so go ahead and get it right now if you’re in the Fast ring to see if it was worth the wait.
