Latest Windows 10 installer tips and improvedment by mkoonline

Hello Windows Insider,
 
The latest Windows 10 Insider Preview builds include several new features that make Microsoft Edge even easier to use — plus, we’ve added improvements to Mixed Reality, wireless projection, our local language experiences and more.
 
While you’re busy exploring, you can also listen to our latest podcast, expand your skills with a free LinkedIn Learning course — and participate in an upcoming Bug Bash for a chance to win a trip to Microsoft headquarters.
 
As you’ll discover, there’s more than ever to do these days in the Windows Insider Program.
 
 

Tips and Tricks

Want a quick way to know which Insider Preview build you have installed on your PC? Check the watermark in the lower right-hand corner of your Desktop. Or go to About PC in Settings in Settings and scroll to Windows specifications. For a list of the latest build numbers, go to Flight Hub.
 
 

Windows 10 Insider Preview highlights

Here are some recent highlights, including the build where they first appeared.1 Go here for more details on all the latest Insider Preview builds.2
 
  • Faster access to your top sites. Just right-click the Microsoft Edge icon in the Task Bar to see a list of your most visited sites. (Build 17677)
  • Better menus in Microsoft Edge. We’ve added icons and shortcuts to the “Settings and more” menu and provided an option to label groups of tabs you’ve set aside. For Downloads, we’ve expanded the menu, so you can right-click to “show in folder” and ‘copy link’. (Build 17677)
  • An easier way to launch apps in Sets. We continue to improve our new Sets feature based on your feedback. When you click the plus button to add apps in a Sets window, you’ll now be able to browse the All Apps list, rather than just using the search box.3 (Build 17682)
  • Wireless projection improvements. Insiders have told us it’s hard to know when they’re wirelessly projecting — so we’ve added a new control banner that appears when you’re in session. This banner also lets you tune the connection for optimal latency between screens. (Build 17682)
  • Improved local experience. To enjoy display language quality improvements, go to Settings App>Time & Language>Language, click on the Add a Windows display language with Local Experience Packs link and download a Local Experience Pack from the Microsoft Store. (Build 17686)
  • Mixed Reality improvements. You can now run Mixed Reality without a physical monitor (great for backpack PCs). Also, apps running in Windows Mixed Reality can make use of the Capture UI API. Try adding an image to a message in Mail in the Cliff House, for example. (Build 17686)
