Windows April 10, 2018 Release date of the update
We now know that the official release date of the Windows Update 10 April of 2018 is April 30. This will be the day when people can manually download and install the update.
However, if you want to wait until the Windows 10 April 2018 update is available for automatic download, then it should start appearing after May 8, as suggested by previous rumors.
the update is the product of more than a year of work, with features that were first tested by Windows Insiders, a group of testers who tested the first versions of Windows 10, in early 2017.
It was thought that the then called Spring The Update of creators would be launched on April 10. Everything pointed to awa rds that date from being real, until a major error pushed Redstone 4 backwards. At least we do not have to wait any longer.
Windows 10 April 2018 Updated confirmed functions
Due to the extensive testing process of the Windows Update April 10, 2018, we have a good idea of some, but not all – of the features that are come.
Timeline
The Timeline feature was supposed to come with the Fall Creator Update last year, but Microsoft did not feel it was ready, then it was cut off from the launch. Now, after months of testing, it looks like it will debut on Redstone 4.
It shows a visual timeline of the desktop, allowing the user to go back to what he was doing on another device, and that includes Android and iOS Phones .
In addition to allowing this smooth transition when switching from one device to another, it also allows the user to revisit a desktop state from a previous time. A bit like a Windows version of MACOS Time Machine.
It could be a really useful feature, so they crossed their fingers to be ready in time.
Improvements in the user interface
The way in Windows 10 looks will have a great revision with Windows 10 April 2018 Update, with the "Fluent Design" aspect that makes the operating system look better than ever when the Spring Creators Update arrives.
Many windows and menus you're used to seeing will get a new coat of paint, and Windows 10 will not only look better, but the operating system will also be easier to use.
Near Share
Microsoft is looking to make sharing files wirelessly between devices easier than ever in Windows 10 April 2018 Update thanks to his new Near Share function.
With Bluetooth and Near Share activated in (from the Activity Center), you can share documents and more quickly by pressing the & # 39; Share & # 39; in the applications (or in Windows Explorer), which will then show nearby devices to which you can send the file.
Focus Assist
With the Windows Update April 10, Microsoft will not "bother" & # 39; to a new and better level with Focus Assist. This mode will allow you to turn off all notifications when you need to concentrate and do things. And, when you're done with whatever you're working on, Focus Assist will give you a detailed report with everything you lost while you were in a rut.
Fast Bluetooth Pairing
Connecting your device with Windows 10 to Bluetooth peripherals is also configured to be much faster and easier in Windows 10 Update April 2018 thanks to the new feature of fast couple. When a device in pairing mode is within range of your Windows 10 device running the Windows 10 April 2018 update, a notification will appear asking you to pair it. Click on it and your Windows 10 device can access it, without having to go into Settings.
At the moment, this only works with Microsoft peripherals, but we expect third-party devices to use it when Windows Update April 10, 2018 is officially r
eleased.
Edge Enhancements
The Edge web browser also receives a lot of updates with the Windows Update April 10, 2018, as Microsoft continues improving its software to compete with Chrome and Firefox.
A new look menu gives you quick access to your bookmarks, history, and other essential parts of the browser, and you can now quickly set the eBooks to the Start. Menu when you read them in Edge.
Edge will also be better to automatically fill out forms with your information, which facilitates the subscription to websites and the like. You will also remember the details of your payment card (but not the security code on the back), which will facilitate payment online. It's good to see these new features, which Edge's competitors have had for a while. Better late than never.
If you are tired of websites that emit sounds and music when browsing, the new possibility of right clicking on a tab and mute it will be a blessing, and InPrivate mode can now execute certain extensions if you wish.
Printing has also been improved thanks to the & # 39; Clutter Free & # 39; It eliminates unnecessary text, images and more of the pages when you print websites, which makes them look better and saves ink.
Edge will also get an updated look to match the fluid design theme of Windows 10.
Mixed reality updates
We have also recently heard that Microsoft is adding a range of new features to its mixed reality platform with the Windows update on April 10, 2018.
Topping the list of improvements is a new virtual environment for users to roam. In addition to the existing Cliff House, now people can enjoy the Skyloft with its impressive view of the city (as opposed to the perspective of the previous ocean). Think of a modern superimposed attic, basically.
Other important changes have been implemented on the SteamVR front, including the introduction of haptic feedback for motion controls in SteamVR games. In addition, overall performance levels have been improved in these games, with Microsoft managing to tune things up to use a significantly lower amount of video RAM.
You can also take screenshots in mixed-reality applications easily with the controllers, and the video performance in the applications is also improved.
These are all welcome additions that should make mixed reality even more competitive compared to Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
