Windows 10 Creators Update Features

Groove Music Maker

Groove Music Maker

A new music creation tool has been added named as Groove Music Maker that allows a user to access to basic tools for editing sound files. This app will be free and therefore, high-level editing with professional touch should not be expected.

 Microsoft Word Pen Support

Word Pen Support

Now this feature is something that might take us to the conventional times but, with a modern touch. Microsoft Word is now supported by a digital pen and as seen in the video, if a user cuts a line, it gets deleted from the document.

Action Center

The large block design has been now skipped and logos are placed instead. Audio and brightness setting have also been changed with the introduction of slider post-update, which has taken the place of pre-adjustment. With this, the Action Center will have a completely refreshed design.

Tab Browser For Edge

Tab Browser For EdgeMicrosoft Edge will now feature a new Tab browser that will ease down the switching between opened tabs. Through new Tab Browser, a user will be able to see a brief preview of the tabs that are open. A new feature called Session Manager has been also added which gives more control while restoring the old tabs.

Maps Collection

Map Collection Feature

With this feature, a user can create a list of own choice. It is speculated that it is a revised version of the Favourites features, but this new feature will improve the sorting ability of the Maps Collection. More details will be revealed once the insider users start giving their feedbacks.

 Quick Sharing With Contacts

Quick Sharing With Contacts

With this feature, a user can send quick emails to the contacts added to the taskbar. Also, a user can chat with them on Skype through just single dialogue box on the screen.
