Microsoft Windows 10, released in 2015, is the tenth major release of the Windows operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first announced on June 24, 2014, and it marked a significant shift in the way users interact with computers.
Here are some key features and improvements introduced in Windows 10:
Design and User Interface: The new design language for Windows 10 is centered around minimalism, simplicity, and visual consistency. The interface is more streamlined, and icons are designed to be easily recognizable and unobtrusive. This change was aimed at making the OS more intuitive for users.
Multi-Device Control: With Windows Hello, users can now unlock their PC using facial recognition technology or by tapping their fingers on a touchscreen display. This feature allows users to access their devices remotely through various mobile devices with a single fingerprint reader.
Edge Browser: Microsoft Edge became the default web browser in Windows 10, offering a cleaner and more modern alternative to Internet Explorer. It also features improved performance, faster page loads, and enhanced privacy options.
Snap Layouts: The Snap Layout feature allows users to quickly switch between open windows on their screen by dragging them to one of six pre-defined sections or snapping the entire window to any available space. This makes it easier for users to keep their work area organized.
New Icons and Visuals: Windows 10 features an entirely new visual design language, including a fresh set of icons, live tiles, and improved taskbar designs. The Task Manager has also been redesigned to display information more clearly and give users a better overview of system resources usage.
Microsoft Cortana: Microsoft introduced the virtual assistant Cortana in Windows 10, which can perform various tasks such as setting reminders, sending messages, controlling smart home devices, and providing news updates. Cortana can be accessed through voice commands, keyboard shortcuts, or by opening a new window to interact with it directly.
Improved Security: The operating system introduced several security features that aimed at protecting users from malware and viruses, including improved antivirus protection, Windows Firewall settings, and the ability to automatically remove malware threats.
Some notable improvements for gaming include:
– Quick Resume: Allows gamers to quickly switch between applications or games without having to close them.
– Game Mode: An additional feature designed specifically for gamers that disables some of the system’s features to prevent resource hogging by games during gameplay, ensuring a smoother gaming experience.
Universal Apps: Microsoft introduced Universal Apps, which enabled developers to create apps that work across multiple platforms (Windows 10, Xbox, and Android devices). This allows users to access their favorite apps from any device.
Offline Support: Windows 10 provided improved offline support for certain features such as photos and videos, with some still requiring a stable internet connection to access them.
The release of Windows 10 marked an ambitious effort by Microsoft to modernize the Windows brand and compete with Apple’s macOS. The operating system was designed to be more intuitive, user-friendly, and integrated with other Microsoft services like Office 365.
However, not all users were pleased with the change in design language, citing a shift towards minimalism at the expense of aesthetics.
