A new approach to localization
Now Windows 10 language packs are available in the Windows Store and can be easily and quickly updated to improve localization. The translation of the interface of the system and its components is now done with the help of artificial intelligence and data obtained from active users through the Language Community application .
Microsoft Edge Enhancements
- Improved the appearance of the "Center", in which you can find a magazine, selected pages and much more.
- Microsoft Edge now stores information about payment cards in forms for subsequent automatic insertion. In this case, the secret code is not stored, and it will need to be entered each time manually.
- The reading mode is completely redesigned and now more in line with the Fluent Design System. Also, the functionality of notes when working with documents and books in EPUB and PDF formats has been improved. Notes are synchronized between your devices. Also appeared full-fledged full-screen mode and built-in tools for checking texts for errors.
- Added support for EPUB Media Overlays for better listening to books.
- Now you can specify a ban on saving passwords for individual domains.
- Extensions are now also available in InPrivate mode.
- There was support for OpenType Font Variations.
- Developer tools can now be opened in vertical mode to the right of the page.
System interface improvements
- In Windows 10 there are customizable silent clocks, in which you will not be bothered by unnecessary notifications and system events. Unfortunately, this function is tied to Cortana, and therefore not available in most regions, including Russia.
- The quiet clock settings allow you to set a lot of conditions for their work. For example, they will automatically turn on when you start the game on DirectX in full-screen mode.
- To improve the availability of the folder "Documents" and "Images" will be placed in the "Start" menu by default. This should help to get used to newcomers who have just started moving to Windows 10.
- The function Near Share has received a lot of minor improvements and fixes.
Improvements to the Settings application
- The Disk Cleanup feature has been moved to the Storage Management section.
- Now in the "Options" application you will find everything to control the sound on your device. Therefore, there is no need for the obsolete "Control Panel" interface.
- Improved availability and optimized search for information about the system.
- In application settings, you can give UWP applications aliases that you can use, for example, on the command line instead of real names.
Input Improvements
- In this assembly there is a new panel for handwriting, which is in fact built into forms and fields.
- Now in Windows 10 you can use handwritten text input in Hindi!
Improvements in XAML
- Redesigned the Reveal effect for a light theme.
- Elements in ListView and TreeView now have borders that are displayed when you hover over them.
