As expected, a year after the launch of Windows 10 and a few days after the end of the free period, Microsoft will push Tuesday the second critical update of the OS named Anniversary update or Redstone in functionality since the official release of the OS in July 2015. the first was the 2015 fall update
It will nevertheless be a little patient. The update will be done in effect by the waves, this is what stated in the WPC 2016, the new head of the Windows Insider program, Dona Sarkar.
There is nothing surprising in this. Note also that the launch of Windows 10 in July was carried out in the same way. “It will take some time,” acknowledged the representative of the publisher, quoted by Digital Trends
And to clarify:. “We start with the PC and phones, and it will be a global deployment. this will take time. ” And of PCs and smartphones already represent millions of machines.
According to the latest figures from Microsoft, Windows 10 is running on 350 million devices in the world. As many systems it will migrate to the Anniversary Update as of today.
Our colleague from ZDNet.com, May Joe Foley tested this update (pro version) and his impressions. This version is the second major release of Windows 10
Specifically, the biometric authentication tool Microsoft Windows Hello is so much more stable and beginning to be integrated within applications in this release. Hello now works much better and faster in my opinion, that was absolutely not the case in the initial release of Windows 10.
The virtual assistant Cortana can now be used even on the standby screen and has a greater integration into the OS, it can not be completely disabled. I always find that talking with my computer, or even alone at my desk, something very artificial.
Hello When enabled, the idea to make it work over the screensaver seems rather pointless, since the screen saver usually disappears very quickly. But on my Acer S7, which does not support Hello, the ability to have access to weather, conversion unit or other basic information only via voice is rather useful. This does not turn your machine into Amazon Echo but it’s a start.
The default browser Edge now supports extensions. This support is just hénaurme. I have so far avoided using Edge on my laptop because the ads have completely ruined it for performance and speed. Blockers Edge commercials make more competitive with Chrome. There, I said, despite the fact that my livelihood depends entirely advertising space on the web. AdBlock and AdBlock Plus are not the only extensions available in the store, Lastpass is also, and Evernote, Amazon Wizard, OneNote Web Clippers, Save to Pocket and others.
Do offense to the tests presented by Microsoft show that Edge is better than Chrome, I have not had the sensation on the sites I visited. But with this update, Edge becomes evolved enough so I could use it regularly if not more often than Chrome. But for my type of research, however, Chrome seems to back me better search results. (Update:. As pointed out to me a player, I could just use Google on Edge
Adding a feature Windows Ink makes use an easier and more interesting pen.
what surprised me most in this update, this is how applications delivered with Windows and features that are integrated their work together. The application Mail provided directly on Windows has always been rather poor. But this version of Anniversary, it becomes almost passable.
The application can be swiped in bar spots to quickly see the number of unread mails. and I think she syncs faster and more automated way. I flew Universal app for Skype, but this new version also seems solid and quite usable.
the center of notifications updated is also more useful and easy to understand. in the previous version of Windows 10, my unread mails were sometimes displayed, but more often it was not. Now they are displayed, along with other information and tips. The notification center notifies you by example that a new preview build of Skype is available or you display the results of your last scan Windows Defender.
My advice for the users is thinking about migrating now that the functionality provided by these updates or not interest you. This update makes Windows 10 and its various more stable and more successful programs.
