Microsoft has made a new step in its Windows Insider test program set up to help the development of its new Windows operating system 10. Two months after the build 9926, the 10041 version enters with a lot of new and improvements.
The user will not be out of place at the interface which is very close, but with a few adjustments and features that are activated or improve. Only the installation mode is really different, the 10041 build settled exclusively through Windows Update if the user has chosen to receive evaluations versions in “Speed”.

Microsoft has primarily worked on the expected features for users. In France users will be able to taste Cortana, the virtual voice assistant already experienced in Windows Phone. At the interface changes are made to the Start menu and to the Trash icon, or how networks are managed without son. . Discovered in pictures
Transparency, start menu, trash
This is what was missing in start to finish to seduce menu: transparency. However, it is very light and depends on the style and colors adopted but we guess the wallpaper and icons in the background. We note in passing that the appearance of the Recycle Bin icon has changed to adopt the “flat design”.
When the start menu expands to fill the whole screen with the icon in the top right, the transparency increases. This time it is more visible and the novelty does not seem to slow the onset or expansion of the menu. In addition, a bug that prevented some configurations to launch the start menu has been set according to Microsoft
Also note that the link to “All Applications” is slightly different for easy access. The parameter access link are now called “Settings” and not “Settings” in the top of the list of shortcuts used applications lose their icon. It is possible to customize the title of the first group of tiles.
Cortana
The voice assitant Cortana is now available in France. Click in the search box enough to activate and move the wizard that asks for your name and tries to pronounce it. Then Cortana will teach the user and guide his research. A click on the microphone icon and Cortana attempts to answer the questions, eventually it will be challenged by the “Hey Cortana” 
Virtual Offices
Virtual offices existed, the ability to move a window to the right-click too. It is now possible to use drag and drop to move an application from one office to another. For clarity Microsoft also explains that only the currently displayed desktop is now displayed in multi-task fashion
Network Settings and fast Wifi
Many testers have asked Microsoft to do something about access to network settings. In build 10041 clicking the wireless icon in the taskbar near the notification area triggers the appearance of a small window and the ability to enter login credentials faster than accessing the full network settings . Shortcuts can lead to complete parameter, VPN etc …
Lock Screen
The French with the United States will be the first to test a new lock screen feature that will show a few times tricks when using Windows. We also continue to explore new images daily, but it is also possible to choose to scroll through the images of its library. On the login screen, users avatars will now appear in a circle.
Application Photos
Microsoft takes care of the Photos application, it took the place of the viewer who opened Windows default pictures in previous Windows. With this build 10041 tile start menu is able to also view photos from synchronized OneDrive, storage service online from Microsoft. The app now supports RAW format and can be controlled from the keyboard.
Get Insider Feedback Windows
The application used to collect feedback has been improved. In addition to filters, it is possible to make a “me too” from the list of feedback to signal that you have a problem already mentioned. If you are looking how to help, use the other application “Insider Hub” in the start menu to choose a mission entrusted by Microsoft
Other improvements can not be shown in pictures such as bug fixes as the systematic appearance of the boot menu, start menu that is not launched or unavailable search bar function its position. Microsoft should offer new versions more quickly through the channel “Fast” in as the approach of the final release scheduled this summer.
There is more work and many bugs are known and reported by Microsoft, they touch certain machines or users based on usage or configuration. Do not hesitate to ask the community in Windows 10 forums to ask questions and seek help
