In the recent Surface event that was held by the tech giant Microsoft, the company introduced a new app that will allow Android users to mirror any app to the Windows computer. And, hey, maybe you'll learn something new that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
The new 416.16 WHQL release brings "Game Ready" status to the latest Windows 10 build, which Microsoft started officially released a couple of days ago.
Tip: use NVSlimmer to install only the Nvidia driver components that you require or use a manual method to do this instead. The clipboard now has cloud support, allowing for the easy transfer of files or documents between multiple systems, without the need to login to each one. You can handle pictures like any file on Windows: Open them up in the Photos app; right-click to share with social networks, contacts, nearby PCs and other Windows apps; and, best of all, you can just drag and drop them wherever you want. At this point in time, the Your Phone app only works on Android.
You can download the new update today by manually checking for it under "Check for Updates" and this will work well if you have been constantly updating your PC.
Not long after introducing Timeline to Windows 10, Microsoft is porting the feature to your Android phone as well.
On the "What needs your attention notification", select the back button to remain on your current version of Windows 10.
We've all been there: you're in the zone with a game - so dialled in that you can practically smell the body odour of the man you just kicked off a cliff - but then, suddenly, it's gone.
Firstly, a new cloud-powered clipboard is being added to allow Windows 10 users to copy content across machines and store a history of copied content in the cloud. You can view the full list at the bottom of Microsoft's press release here. If you're interested, we will let you know how you can set it up and use the new app on Windows 10 version 1809.
There is also expanded previews for all search results to include apps, documents, email people and more. As spotted by a Reddit user, the Task Manager tool is not reporting accurate CPU usage after upgrading to Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
The latest Windows 10 version is also compatible with Nvidia's latest "Ray Tracing" technology that's said to make lighting more realistic for video games. Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection is getting a number of new capabilities, including custom detection, support for Windows Server 2019 onboarding, managed security service provider support and more.
Microsoft also added the much-requested ability to customize which icons appear in the Microsoft Edge toolbar - you can remove them all for a tidier look, or add as many as you like to bring your favorite functionality to your fingertips.
