The Anniversary Update Windows 10 began his career with the Xbox One. Since yesterday, the deployment of massive update is done gradually. The contributions are numerous, including a merger of the blinds, the choice of language or easy sharing.
With the deployment of the update on the console, Microsoft began a migration period for all products under Windows 10 . The Anniversary Update, official name (and a bit long) of what we previously knew as the “Redstone” is the first major development of the system. It is in the Xbox One to start, but the PC tablets and smartphone will also pass from tomorrow, as planned.
The background music returns, Cortana unavailable in France
Xbox One wins with good Anniversary Update number of features, although all are not really new. It thus puts in place the background music playback, allowing listens during a play. Groove, provided with Windows 10 , is obviously compatible. Side partners, Pandora is the first third service enjoy, Microsoft indicating that others will follow.
Other contributions are actually absent or repair strange deficiencies. For example, the user can now choose the language they want, rather than an automatic choice and imposed depending on the location. Moreover, Cortana is probably the most enriched functionality through the Anniversary Update. Unfortunately, only US English and console users can use it. Basic voice commands are always present, but the voice assistant and tools will not be available in France. Microsoft provides no date for other markets. A problem that affects all of Windows 10 , as discussed in a dedicated section.
Fusion shops and easy sharing
however, there is a good list ‘significant contributions and available everywhere. Starting with a fusion of shopping and Xbox Windows 10 . A move that clearly makes sense because the technical foundation is now the same for consoles, PC, tablets and smartphone . And with the upcoming availability of the SDK for Xbox One , third party publishers will also offer their applications for this shop with the same validation process as for the usual Windows Store. Of course console, the controls have been adapted, as well as filters and channels to find the content.
social side, two new products are mainly noted. First, the ability to connect their Facebook account. If this link has already been established in the Xbox app for Windows 10 or Android / iOS, the user does has nothing to do more. On the other hand, sharing has been simplified for the screenshots, videos and success. It can now be done directly from the home of the console, the activity flow can also be set for automatic sharing of certain elements (the user chooses which).
The Xbox One continues its rapprochement with the PC
the reconciliation between the Xbox One and PC Windows 10 also continues with the addition of Top 10 PC games. Everyone is left with its own Hub on Xbox Live, allowing contacts to see the activity on these securities, with the same sharing capabilities as the other. The video also takes into account the clips made of 60 frames per second achieved on PC, when the Anniversary Update will also be available there. Windows Game Bar, which allows control of the recording (Windows + L), is also compatible with more games in full screen mode, including League of Legends, World of Warcraft, DOTA 2, Battlefield 4, Counterstrike: Global Offensive and Diablo III
remember that this reconciliation will be greatly strengthened next month with the possibility. announced by Microsoft to conduct cross-buy purchases on certain securities.
the Anniversary Update is available now. To install, you have to go into System settings and check for updates
