This is a bit useless at the moment, but it’ll get a whole lot better if Microsoft adds shortcuts to quick settings depending on the context. As you may notice, Microsoft has added a sidebar which lets users easily access the Get Help app where you can get direct help from Microsoft. That’s pretty much all the improvements in the Settings app. It is worth noting that Microsoft is bringing Windows themes to the Windows Store, so users may start using this feature a bit more in the near-future: In the modern Settings app, you can apply any theme you want and you can manually change the accent color, background image, sound or mouse cursor (but that opens the old Control Panel UI for now). This is similar to the old Personalization feature where you could change the theme, etc.

Microsoft is expected to add the ability to use any color as the accent color on Windows 10 in the near-future, so the Recent Colors feature will be very useful when that arrives.Īs for the themes page, Microsoft has added the ability to control Windows themes right from the modern Settings app.

In the Colors page, you can now see the recent accent colors you used on the device which can be a bit useful. However, the majority of the improvements are in the Personalization section where Microsoft has changed the Colors and Themes page. The Devices page also has been tweaked a bit, and it now displays the different type of connected devices in different categories which are easy to find. Firstly, Microsoft has tweaked the groups in the Settings app - there’s a new Apps category which includes the settings for Default Apps, and more. There are a couple of improvements in the Settings app as well. Another minor new feature that’s coming to Edge is the ability to expand tabs to show previews - this basically shows a preview of all the opened tabs: For instance, if you have 6 tabs open, you can set them aside and open them up once again whenever you want. Firstly, there’s a new “Set tabs aside” feature which basically lets you save a group of tabs which you can restore later on. Microsoft Edge is also getting a couple of improvements. There’s also a neat little toggle on the Action Center which lets users enable/disable Blue Light Reduction. In Windows 10, users will be able to schedule Blue Light Reduction to kick off everyday automatically during a set period of time, or they can enable it manually too. This apparently helps users sleep better by adjusting the color of your display depending on the time of the day it is.

Microsoft is calling it “Blue Light Reduction” and as the name implies, it will reduce the amount of blue light that’s being produced by your monitors. At the moment, the new OOBE is a bit rough which is completely expected but it should look a lot better in the coming months.īack in August, we reported that Microsoft is working on bringing an F.lux-like feature to Windows 10. The new setup experience also feels a lot more streamlined than the current OOBE on Windows 10. More importantly, Cortana is coming to IoT devices with a display soon and the Cortana-powered OOBE will also be very useful as IoT devices usually don’t have a keyboard or mouse connected all the time.

The new Cortana-powered OOBE is likely for the new type of Windows 10 devices - for instance, Harman Kardon is working on an Amazon Echo-like speaker powered by Cortana and Windows 10, so the Cortana integration here will be crucial.
