Microsoft revealed the new features of the largest update Windows 10

To date, Windows 10 is considered by the company-creator of Microsoft not as the next version of the operating system, but as a full-fledged service. This means that the operating system is the final one in the list of predecessors, and it is constantly updated, receiving in small quantities new functions and fixes for the detected problems. Also sometimes there are big releases of updates. Creators Update is the last major update of the operating system, which appeared in the public access for Windows 10 users completely free. The previous major update, called Anniversary Update, significantly improved the interface and added features such as Digital Ink, more secure authentication capabilities for Windows Hello, and the ability to interact with the Cortana assistant when the screen is locked. This time the update of Creators Update brings one very impressive tool, Paint 3D, as well as a pretty impressive number of small changes that relate to the performance of computer games and a web browser. Developers tried to please absolutely all users, adding and correcting the most extraordinary and extremely useful functions. This update is one of the largest recently, and it is very versatile, as it affects a lot of target groups: gamers, designers, readers, fans to sit on the Web and many others. Each person will find something interesting among the presented new features. If you want to learn about the most interesting features that the new Windows 10 update has added, then this article is for you!

More opportunities for gamers

It's no secret that this operating system is considered the best in the history for those who like computer games. Gamers got new features and much more impressive performance, but developers do not stop there and constantly improve the system, adapting it to the constantly evolving gaming process. Some of the biggest features of this update will benefit gamers. For example, Game Mode ("Game Mode") redistributes the resources of the computer, redirecting them from other applications and processes to a running game. Also in the main menu there is a separate section for games, which looks simply incredible. This will allow you to more conveniently control the game pad that appears on the screen when you press Windows + G. In addition, there are new opportunities for recording the game process on the video and its translation on the Internet using the Beam application. This application boasts a sub-second delay in the broadcast, which will allow you to communicate more effectively with viewers.

Paint 3D

This update of the operating system Windoiws 10 brings the 3D design to the masses. The new Paint 3D application allows you to create and edit 3D objects using a set of templates and shapes, and then apply two-dimensional images and textures to them. Then you can share your creation and look at the results of the work of other users in a special community on the Internet. In addition, this application has 3D printing support.

Books in the Edge Browser

Microsoft Edge, the default browser that comes with the Windows 10 operating system, gets several new capabilities as a result of this update. And one of the largest is the ability to act as a "reader" for e-books. You can choose what you want from a good set of literature in the Windows Store application. Now the Internet browser has all the necessary functions for reading, to which users are accustomed, and also it has some additional features. You can access your bookshelf from the "Favorite / History" tab of the browser. "Chitalka" not only can show the contents of the book and the options for formatting, but also can read the book out loud.

Night mode

Scientists have found that the blue part of the spectrum, emitted by screens of gadgets and devices, has a negative effect on sleep. And that's why Apple introduced the night mode in the new update for its iOS operating system. Now Windows users can also use the function to switch to the mode, devoid of the blue part of the spectrum, in the evenings. This is made possible by the Night Light function, which was introduced as part of this update. By default, this function automatically turns on with sunset, but you can configure the application to turn on at certain times, and you can even set a specific warmth of light.

New privacy and settings panel

Microsoft was faced with an impressive wave of criticism for the fact that the Windows 10 operating system collects user data, although this function was not as invasive as it was in Apple and Google products that can not work without a registered account, while Windows applications Can. With the new update, privacy settings are much more transparent, and now you can go to the online privacy control panel on the Microsoft website, where you can see what kind of information Windows 10 stores in the "cloud". There you can also clear history, delete localization data and much more.

Upgrading movies and TV shows

Now the application Movies & TV allows you not only to play content that was purchased in the Windows Store, but also serves as a player for your own videos. In addition, the new update gave the application the ability to display video at 360 degrees, as well as video in virtual reality (VR). The new mini-mode allows you to reduce the window by one click and send it to the lower right corner, and the player now supports 4K resolution.

Tools for tabs in Edge

Some other new Edge features deserve a description in a separate paragraph, since they are completely independent of the capabilities of the "e-book" that were described above. The browser now allows you to expand miniature previews of individual tabs when you bring the mouse cursor to them. However, an even greater productivity improvement was the function of pending viewing, thanks to which you can literally postpone tabs and tab groups for later, which you can then safely watch when you have time for it.
