The next big update to Windows 10 is already very close. Since becoming a service, Microsoft has scheduled two major updates a year, in the spring and fall.

In just one month, on October 17th, we will be able to install Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. As with its predecessor, Windows 10 Creators Update, will come loaded with new features and improvements. And it will be a mandatory installation, because the concept of service implies that the updates expire at 18 months, so you'll have to upgrade to the newest, or you'll stop receiving support.

The great premiere will be the mixed reality, the second generation of virtual reality, cheaper and easier to configure. Acer, Lenovo, Asus, HP and other companies will have mixed reality glasses on sale the same day the release of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.


New tools will also be released as a new backup system, others will be changed, and some, such as veteran Paint, will stop receiving updates to gradually disappear.

Let's take a look at all the new features of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update that we know so far. They are very promising!

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
Let's start by reviewing the new Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, because it is always what most expectation raises.

Your phone will like Windows 10
Microsoft continues to add new features when it comes to synchronizing the smartphone with our PC. It has been confirmed that we can send web pages directly from the mobile iOS or Android to the Windows 10 browser. But this will be just one of many new features, according to Microsoft's blog.

A new Mobile icon will allow you to configure all synchronization options from a single location:windows_10_movil_android_iphone_3.jpg

When you add your phone number you will receive an SMS on your mobile phone to download a Microsoft app that will link the Android smartphone with Windows 10 on your computer.

Once completed the process, you simply have to navigate a web page on the mobile. Clicking the Share button will bring up a new option called Continue on PC. Then you will have to identify yourself with the Microsoft account that you use in Windows 10 (you only have to do it once). The Continue Now option will be displayed (the web will open in the PC browser, if you have it on), or Continue Later, in which case the web will be moved to the Windows 10 Activity Center, so you have it on hand when you need it

Another new feature that focuses on mobile devices is Pick Up Where You Left Off or Continue where you left off. If you have an application available on PC and smartphone (for example Microsoft Office), they synchronize with each other so that you can perform a task on one or other device, automatically. That is to say, if you are creating a document in Word on PC and you close it, when you open Word on the mobile will appear the document just where you left it.

New backup system
Everything indicates that there will be a new backup system that will not save backup histories on the PC, nor will it perform full hard disk backups. But for now their functions are unknown.

New Video Editor, Story Remix
This new application, which is also going to be added to Photos, is a video editor with new features. It is ready to edit videos captured with the mobile and add music, texts or special effects. It will be connected to the new Paint 3D, the graphic editor that is already available in Windows 10 Creators Update. Thanks to it you can download thousands of animations in 3D, customize them and add them to your videos.

Here you can see it in operation:

He will also be very focused on the social. You can upload the videos to social networks to share them, or edit them among several people. In addition you will have a version for smartphone that will allow you to edit the videos anywhere.

It will be one of the most interesting new features of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Recover password when turning on the PC
If you have enabled the option in the configuration, Windows 10 prompts you for a password when you boot. The problem arises if you do not remember it, because it does not offer you an option to recover it. You can do this by accessing your account from another device, but it is not very intuitive.

This will change in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. From now on, in the Home Screen will appear an option to recover the password, in case you forget it:

By clicking on the option, you will send an email to your email, from where you can choose another password. Why have they taken so many years to include this option?

New interface design
The fall update will bring us a more refined and minimalist interface, closer to the Android Design Material. Microsoft called it Project Neon, but renamed it the Fluent Design System.

Windows Inking
Another new feature in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is the new tool to improve handwriting with digital ink, either through a touch screen, or with the Microsoft Surface stylus.

Now we can write by hand on the PDF files or ebooks in fornato ePUB to make annotations or corrections. He will also use artificial intelligence to learn how to write, and better interpret what we are trying to do.

Artificial intelligence against malware
Microsoft has not explained how, but confirms that the new Windows 10 update will use artificial intelligence in Windows Defender to anticipate malware. By studying the behavior of the virus and its evolution, it will be able to detect new undiscovered viruses and raise the barriers when it notices suspicious behavior.

OneClip, clipboard in the cloud
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will include a clipboard in the cloud: anything we copy to the clipboard (a text, an image), will appear on any other device that we have connected to the same Microsoft account, including other PCs, or a mobile . It will be called OneClip.

The new mixed reality

windows_10_creators_update_3.jpg

More than a year ago the virtual reality glasses HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR were put on sale. They have been a critical success and catalog of games and experiences, although not as much sales.

Technology is ready, but important barriers remain. Although both HTC Live and Oculus Rift have dropped in price by more than 30% in recent weeks, they are still expensive. And PlayStation VR, if you add the camera (essential) and two Move controls, it rises to more than 500 €. They also use a lot of cables, a lot of space, and are difficult to configure, because of the external sensors.

All this time Microsoft has been strangely quiet. Supposedly he was working on his augmented reality glasses HoloLens, but that is a long-term project. What the company of Satya Nadella was preparing is the second generation of the RV, which will be called Mixed Reality.

Along with hardware companies such as Lenovo, HP, Asus or Acer, Microsoft has been working on virtual reality goggles that have position and motion sensors built into the glasses themselves. They do not have external sensors that should be placed on the wall, such as HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. They are cheaper (prices starting at $ 300), simpler to configure (they only need a cable to connect to the PC), and will be compatible with Steam VR games (although apparently not from the beginning).

In return, it seems that the hardware is somewhat more modest. They offer a resolution of 1490x1490 pixels in each eye at 90 Hz, compared to the 120 Hz of Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. All glasses use the same controls with motion sensors.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will include the support for this new mixed reality, so named because it will be able to mix real world images with virtual reality objects. It will not focus on games like the previous ones, but it will also be possible to run applications like Office or Paint 3D in virtual reality mode. If you want to know more, check out this link:

My people
It was announced for the previous update, but will finally be released in the fall. My People is a hub accessible from the Task Bar. It will show a drop down menu with each of your contacts and it will be possible to send messages and files just by dragging them to your avatar. Here you can see it in operation:

Other news
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will add other news that we still know very little, beyond your ad. That is why we have compiled them in this list:

Windows 10 will be able to shut down the computer and restart when critical updates are installed
New virtual keyboard
Onedrive container: a bookmark will allow you to manage files in the Onedrive cloud from Windows Explorer, even if they are not downloaded to the PC
Eye Control: this new technology allows the disabled to control the PC by moving the eyes
New Emoji Panel and Emoji Support 5.0
Windows 10 now supports the ARM64 architecture. Soon we will see it in mini PCs type Rapsberry Pi and equivalents.
One of the most anticipated new tools, Timeline, is finally not going to be included in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. It served to go back to previous actions quickly and easily. Thanks to this feature the user could return to the applications and workspaces that he has used in previous times, even months ago.

 

Improvements of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
Dozens of tools and apps in Windows 10 will receive adjustments, bug fixes and new features. Let's review the most important.

Cortana
Of course, Microsoft's virtual assistant also washes his face. You will now be able to perform searches without opening the browser.

New voice commands have also been added to shut down the PC or block it, which will surely appeal to the users of this wizard.

Edge
The Windows 10 browser will improve the support of PDF files and ePUB (ebooks). It also allows more editing options for favorite websites, and will include a function to read texts aloud.

Turn your PC into a console
The Windows 10 Spring Update debuted Game Mode, a new Windows operating mode that frees up system resources for better gaming performance.

In practice, the Game Mode shows hardly any improvement over the normal mode, and is not very intuitive to use: you have to activate the bar and with the game running, open it and mark it.

In Windows 10 Fall Creators Update this system is simplified, because it will be possible to activate the Game Mode without having to put each game in march.

Microsoft also ensures that it has further improved this release of resources for the games and that when it is active "the PC gets all the hardware resources like an Xbox One console." It sounds too ambitious, because precisely the advantage of consoles is that they take advantage of hardware resources at 100%, something that a PC does not do, because there are millions of configurations and have to operate in a generic way.

Changes in the Shell
The Windows 10 Shell, that is, all the access functions offered by the Start Button or the Taskbar, among other things, has undergone a lot of adjustments. For example:

You can reset the Home button diagonally
You can pin up to 3 contacts in the Task Bar
Websites can be set in the Taskbar
You can receive emojis from your contacts in the Task Bar when they send you a message
Configuration
The Windows 10 configuration undergoes some tweaking in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Now the About section displays detailed information about the security and antivirus options you have installed:

windows_10_fall_creators_update_novedade

The Remote Desktop and Cortana have been added as an option over Setup.

If there are several system updates pending, each will be displayed with its own bar. Statistics of the updates will also appear throughout the month.

Windows will now delete previous installations automatically, once you have installed a new version. The Downloads folder is also deleted after 30 days.

Other improvements
Smarter and more effective notifications. Less invasive. Can be received on an Android mobile
Windows 10 will be able to expel applications that have been inactive for some time

The next update of Windows 10 will include many new features and improvements, but it will also eliminate applications and tools, and others will no longer receive updates or improvements, such as the mythical drawing program Paint, which is no longer going to update more, but will not disappear (for now). Officially, it has been replaced by Paint 3D.

Microsoft has confirmed that these applications and tools will disappear from Windows 10 Fall Creators Update:

Outlook Express
Screensaver on personalization themes
App Reader and Reading List
3D Builder (not installed by default)
TPM Password Manager
Syskey.exe (replaced with BitLocker)
Mosaic data layer (there is new Tile Store)
There are also applications and services that are declared obsolete. That means they are not going to be deleted, but they are no longer updated:

Microsoft Paint
Synchronization services (unified into one)
Some functions of Windows Hello for Companies
Windows PowerShell 2.0
Full system backup. Microsoft recommends using third-party software to make a mirror copy of complete hard disks.
TPM Remote Manager and TPM.msc
IIS 6 Management Console, IIS 6 Authentication, RSA / AES Encryption for IIS, TLS RC4 Encryption
Finally, three new versions of Windows 10 have been rumored, but its features are not yet known: Windows 10 Pro for Advanced PCs, Windows 10 Pro N for Advanced PCs, Windows Server 2016 Server Remote Desktop.

These are, for the moment, the new features of Windows 10 Fall Creator Update. An interesting update loaded with improvements. We can install it for free on October 17th.
