Microsoft recently released Windows 10 build 10547 for PCs to Insiders via the Fast ring of updates. The new build includes a number of changes and improvements over build 10532, changes that will hopefully be part of the Windows 10 Threshold 2 update, which should be rolling out sometime in November.
Today, I’m adding a new video to the Pureinfotech channel in YouTube highlighting all the new changes and improvements for build 10547 including:
Start menu
- The ability to add a fourth column of tiles in Start menu by enabling the “Show more tiles” option in Personalization.
Lock screen
- The ability to disable the Windows 10 default sign-in screen background picture, and Microsoft is adding “Windows spotlight” to Windows 10 Pro.
Taskbar
- On this build, Microsoft is also improving Snap by enabling the ability to resize the adjacent window at the same time you resize another snapped window.
- On Tablet mode, when you use Task View, you can snap apps and you can now replace apps already snapped.
- Windows 10 build 10547 also introduces new icons for many of the default built-in apps
Desktop
- Tweaks on the desktop include new icons in Control Panel, Device Manager, Devices and Printer, and other areas of the operating system.
- The video also highlights improvements on the context menu. Now right-click on the desktop or on file will show a gray color context menu, instead of white.
Settings
The Settings app is perhaps the single place where you’ll find the most changes:
- Multitasking now includes new options for the Snap feature.
- Devices includes a new USB notification option.
- Personalization includes the “Show more tiles” option, in addition to “Occasionally show suggestions in Start”, and the Lock screen has a new option for “Windows spotlight” and “Show Windows background picture on the sign-in screen”.
- Privacy includes new “Call History” and “Email” settings
- Update & security, under the “Advanced options” for Windows Update, users can now change the Windows Insider account.
