The most important news from Creators Update

Many of the Creators Update improvements can already be enjoyed if we are part of the Windows Insider program and from April 11 everyone can install it on their computer. After the Anniversary Update, Microsoft has changed the way it supports its operating system, offering great improvements from time to time, with one more scheduled (Redstone 3) this year.

We are going to review the news that we are going to find in this new update of the Microsoft operating system.

Better installation

Microsoft has listened to user feedback and improved one important area, the system installation process. During this process, Windows will now take into account some privacy settings before we start using the system and not that we are forced to change it later on our own.

Don't you want all aspects of your system to be sent to Microsoft? Don't you want Cortana to detect your voice on the microphone? This can be changed from the beginning, among other more options that will be available in the installation.

Cortana is more useful

Now if your PC is idle or locked, Cortana will continue to listen carefully for it to be invoked.

The voice assistant is now smarter and will set recurring reminders based on your calendar or the reminders you have created yourself. In short, a Cortana much more present and useful than it is now.

Edge improved

The Edge browser comes with major improvements. Now the browser can read electronic books, which we can purchase from the Windows Store.

Another of the most interesting functions that are added with Creators Update is the possibility of archiving tabs to see them later, something that can be useful when we want to continue perhaps with some site reading, but without having to add it to our favorites.

Another aspect to take into account from the browser is that it will be the only one capable of playing Netflix streams in 4K resolution.

More focused on video games

Windows 10 is going to add a feature called 'Game Mode', which promises to free up system resources while we're playing video games. This function is the same that some third-party applications like Razer Cortex offer, only much simpler to operate and totally free.

We should note that games work better on Windows 10 now, at least that's what they claim.

Paint 3D

Paint 3D comes to Windows 10, with the ability to create drawings and give them depth to simulate a 3D object. This is a simple approach to using this type of 3D editors, only with a free tool embedded in the system.

As shown in their video presentation, the tool is specifically designed for students.

Everything else

These are just some of the most brilliant news of the new update that will arrive in Windows 10 in the coming weeks and we could not fail to mention the addition of support for Themes, the use of a timer for parental control, the night light function to reduce blue light, the introduction of Picture In Picture mode or the ability to streme our games in videogames with Beam.

April 11 is the date set for the new Windows 10 update, which should be available in your Windows Update on that day or days after release.
