Windows 10 build 10056 improves the "tablet mode" of the system

While the promise of Windows 10 has always been to deliver an experience just as good both with touch screens and with mouse and keyboard, until now the previews have focused only on this last mode, partly because it was precisely desktop users who seemed to be most dissatisfied with the previous version of Windows.

"

Thankfully, now that we&39;ve managed to deliver a desktop experience that everyone is happy with, Microsoft is refocusing its gaze on touch interfaces , integrating several improvements to the so-called tablet mode of Windows 10.Remember that this mode will be the default interface on devices such as small tablets of 8 inches or less, while will coexist with the desktop on hybrid devices, such as the Surface Pro, Lenovo Yoga, and others, thanks to the Continuum feature."

Until before build 10056, Windows tablet mode was limited to simply maximizing windows and expanding the start menu to use the entire screen, but since this latest build we are also offered a more simplified interface, which hides all application buttons on the taskbar, which is reserved only for displaying the time and system icons, the Start button, and the Cortana search box.

To switch between applications, simply use the familiar swipe gesture on the left edge of the screen, which will now serve to open the famous Task View, from which you can choose the application you want to open.

Another virtue of this renewed tablet mode is that it will allow us to open universal and desktop applications alike In the case of desktop applications, desktop, the only difference with normal mode is that they will always open maximized, and they will not appear on the taskbar, but we will have to switch between them by sliding our finger along the left edge.

In short, everything very similar to how Windows 8/8.1 worked on tablets, except that the charms have been replaced by the bar notifications, and since the taskbar is always visible, we can review basic information such as date and time, battery status, Wi-Fi, volume, and whether or not there are unread notifications at all times.
