Microsoft announces changes in Windows 10, Edge Browser

Microsoft has pushed out a new preview build of Windows 10 that includes quite a number of changes, including work on the operating system’s ‘do-not-disturb’ feature, and further reworking on the Edge browser.

Microsoft beefs up the Quiet Hours feature which, when turned on, prevents the user from being interrupted because they are busy, only allowing notifications to come through from ‘important’ contacts or apps and blocking the rest.

With the new preview build, you can set your own schedule for when Quiet Hours kicks in – and customize the relevant priority list to make sure notifications from important sources always get through.

Quiet Hours also engages automatically when you are playing a full-screen game, or when you’re duplicating your display.

Microsoft has also made a bunch of improvements to the Edge browser, including an overhauled Hub view that displays more content, and is more intuitive to use. A new, improved Edge can now save and auto-fill credit (or debit) card details on website payment forms, with Microsoft noting that card information is securely saved. Also, the CVV security number on the rear of the card is never saved.

Furthermore, reading ebooks in Edge – as well as PDF files and web pages in Reading View – has been much improved with new Fluent Design elements introduced to improve aesthetics and generally streamline the experience. It’s now possible to enjoy ebooks or Reading View pages in full-screen, too.
