Cortana learns your preferences and provides smarter recommendations over time. Currently, Cortana will help you search for apps, settings, and files as well as search the web. For you in these new markets, look for her to help you find the things you need and proactively bring you information that you care about. We also added a filtered Alt+Tab so you only see the windows on the given Virtual Desktop.Ĭortana is expanding into new markets on the desktop: Cortana now also works on the desktop in China, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain – in addition to the U.S. We are doing some A/B testing for this where there will be different defaults for different users to help us decide what default to use based on feedback from Insiders. This allows you to better organize what you are working on.

This means that only the running windows in a particular Virtual Desktop will show in the taskbar. You can also drag a window to the “+” icon to both create a Virtual Desktop and move the window to it in single step. Improvements to Virtual Desktops: We’ve addressed your #1 feature request for Virtual Desktops from Insiders – you can now drag a window to a Virtual Desktop! Previously, you had to right-click and use a context menu. Dragging and dropping apps from All Apps or your most used apps list to pin them to Start was a top request, and this has been added. Start now has transparency, and we’ve addressed issues with the All Apps list like making the All Apps button easier to use with touch. Improving the Start experience: In 9926 we introduced the XAML based Start experience, and we’ve continued to make improvements since then.
