Some Notable Features:
Some best features are given below:
- One of the best features you will find is the new “Light Theme” that provides Windows a clean and, well, best look and feel.
- Sandbox is another light-weight model of a Virtual Machine (VM). This is the best feature for power users out there. It lets you execute untrusted apps in an isolated environment that can’t affect the rest of your PC. This amazing feature is quite simpler or easier than setting up a VM that takes time and PC resources.
- Cortana is the digital assistant of Microsoft’s that can’t gain much traction in the market rather than minor appearances in some mobile devices including the failed Haman Kardon Invoke. Also, it is design into Windows 10 and a part of the Windows Search experience. You might experience its irritation after setting up the all-new Windows 10 install. Now, using 1903 they are totally two separate features. The Search experience becomes updated with an amazing and essential landing page. And, if you are using Cortana on your system, it’s still there.
- There is the latest brightness slider in Action Center. In previous models, you can control screen brightness using a button that has 4 settings. This latest slider provides you the precision control over the brightness level of the display screen. This might look like a small improvement, but this was one of the most requested latest features by Insiders…
- While writing a document or email, you know how worst can be to remember the “Alt” key codes or search online to add symbols (like em dash, asterisk, arrows, etc.) into your social media post or text.
