Key notes
The newWindows 10Insider Preview Build 21354 is out for installation available for the Dev Channel insiders and it’s pretty exciting as you will see for yourself.
As you might have realized already, Paint is available in the Microsoft Store and there’s a reason for that because in the new preview build, you can uninstall it without any problems.
And as wementioned before, the Fluent Design concept is in full swing, changing most aspects of theWindows 10design.
But let’s take a look at the newWindows 10enhancements and see how it will change our experience.
What is new in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21354?
1. New personalization options in News and interests
The biggest change comes from the new News and Interests tab that will show up when you hover over the weather info from the Taskbar.
Don’t worry, because you can change it to appear when you click it, but by default, it’s set to open when you hover over it, which might be a little intrusive.
Another new thing about it is that you now have aManage interestsbutton on top that will redirect you to the My interests page.
That way, you will be able to customize your preferences in detail so this window can actually become pretty useful.
The same goes for the newTune your feedoption that is available in theMy interestpage and will help you choose the publishers, subjects and news that you want to read.
You can also click on X on a story you don’t like and in time, the app will learn to follow your preferences to the letter.
However, you need to know that these enhancements are available first in U.S., U.K., Canada, India, and Australia followed by a global rollout in the future.
2. New display settings
You will be happy to know that the content adaptive brightness control (CABC) us now available in the Settings > System > Display settings.
In other words, you will be able to disable that option and the automatic contrast control (only for some devices that support it) quicker.
Moreover, you will be able to see a HDR certification under the Advanced display settings if, of course, you’re using such a display.
Microsoftsays that this will educate customers and raise awareness for using high-quality HDR displays.
3.New Cameras pagein Settings
Nowadays, with the increased need for communication, every PC and laptop are paired with a webcam or even full-fledged cameras.
That’s probably whyMicrosoftincluded a Camera Settings page in the Devices meniu from Settings. There you can add and remove cameras and even configure their settings.
The configuration can go a long way depending on your camera but you will be able to tune the brightness, contrast and more.
