Windows 10 is now considered by Microsoft to be a service. What that means is that the OS is continually updated with new features and fixes in small increments (such as the redesigned Photos app— see our review in this issue) and big releases. The Creators Update is the latest big one, and it starts rolling out to Windows 10 users for free on April 11.
The previous major release, Anniversary Update, fine-tuned the interface and added features including Digital Ink input, more Windows Hello secure authentication possibilities, and Cortana interaction from the lock screen.
This time, Creators Update does add one very creator-specific tool—the new Paint 3D—but much of what’s new concerns gaming and the web browser. Read on for all the most interesting new things in Windows 10.
MORE GAMING FEATURES
Some of the biggest updates in Creators benefit gamers—Game Mode, for instance, which shifts system resources away from other processes to your game. A new dedicated Gaming section graces the main Windows 10 Settings app; it lets you control the Game bar that pops up when you hit Windows key-G, your Game DVR options, and the new Broadcasting capability that comes via Beam. Beam offers sub-second latency, making for more immediate interactions between broadcaster and audience.
