Those that are part of the Windows Insider program are always lucky, or unlucky when it comes to testing out the latest features that Microsoft is bringing toWindows 10.
One good example is this latest update where Microsoft rolled out a newWindows 10feature update test build, and theFast RingInsiders are the ones that get to test it
As the first Fast Ring update to be launched in 2020, the newWindows 10build 19541, includes a couple of minor new options forTask Managerand Notifications, along with a number of fixes and updates.
What is this Task Manager update all about?
Microsoft added a new option in the Details tab inTask Managerthat willshow users the architecture of each process, just as we reported back in December. This allows the user to see the architecture of process such as x86, x64 or Arm32. Similar functionality was already present in the Details tab, but it’s limited to 64-bit and 32-bit.
This was announcedback in 2019when, according to a post onsocial media, theWindows 10Task Managerwould be enriched with a new tab.
taskmgr will have an ‘Architecture’ column to display the architecture of process, like x86/x64/Arm32
As for the notification updates from Build 19541, Microsoft is adding an icon to let users know when an app is using their location, and it will show up in your notification area.
Additionally, Bing Instant Answers and Timers are now back online, so users that frequently use Cortana can rejoice.
However, keep in mind that Microsoft changed the way they release updates to the Fast Ring. New features that appear here are no longer guaranteed to make it to live.
Microsoft’s next feature update forWindows 10, is scheduled to release somewhere later this spring. Users are eager to know what other new features it will bring.
