14 DAY TRIAL // The recently-released Windows 10 build 18922 introduces new changes to the language settings page and more Feedback Hub improvements, but there’s so much more to discover under the hood.
Twitter user Albacore, who has already discovered several unannounced features in Windows 10, came across evidence of even bigger changes coming to users in the next updates.
And one of them is a reworked Cortana version that mixes Win32 and UWP, along with a redesigned UI and settings menu.
While Microsoft didn’t officially announce these changes, Albacore notes that the new Cortana is “very reminiscent of current mobile experiences,” which is something that totally makes sense given the conversational format the software giant is aiming for. At the same time, with this update Cortana can improve the consistency across platforms, which again aligns with Redmond’s strategy overall.
New virtual desktops options
Additionally, Microsoft is also working on improving the experience with virtual desktops, as the company will allow users to rename the desktops. This is one of the most requested features in Windows 10, so it looks like it would finally go live for everyone with the release of the 20H1 update.
And last but not least, it seems that the Snip and Sketch app, which allows users to take screenshots on Windows 10, will receive some refinements too, including new animations and a draggable screencap.
Keep in mind that all these improvements aren’t available just yet for testers, but they should become in the coming weeks when Microsoft thinks they’re ready for public testing.
As for the Windows 10 20H1 update, it’s scheduled to go live in the spring of 2020, possibly as the April 2020 Update. The update is already up for grabs as part of the Windows Insider program in the Fast ring, and the more the development process advances, the bigger the changes Microsoft introduces.
