More Microsoft
Edge Improvements:
- Sharing your tabs: We’ve added the ability to share a set of tabs you’ve set aside. Just click the “Tabs you’ve set aside” button, and under the “…” menu select the option to “Share tabs” with many apps installed on your PC.
- Import data: We’re making it even easier to bring your data over from another browser when you switch to Microsoft Edge. The new “Import from another browser” button in Settings allows you to bring your favorites, browsing history, saved passwords, and other data from another browser you have installed, in one simple step.
- Running faster: You can now choose to “Run” a download link without first saving it, and we’ve added a “Save As” option to the existing “Save” link.
- Web Notes improvements: We’ve updated Web Notes to now leverage the familiar Windows Ink experience you’ve come to know in Photos and Maps, amongst other places. Tap the pen or highlighter in Web Notes, and you will now see the full set of Windows Ink colors, as well as the new slider.
- Apps for Websites: Clicking links to websites that support web-to-app linking will now open that page in the respective app.
Download themes
for your PC from the Windows Store: you’ll be able to go directly from the themes setting
page directly to the Windows Store to download new themes for your PC!
Cortana can help
you pick up where you left off: If you have multiple PCs, you probably know how
cumbersome it can be to find everything you need to resume work after switching
between PCs. Cortana can now help with that! When you switch computers, Cortana
will display quick links in the Action Center to help you easily get back into
the Microsoft Edge websites and SharePoint (or other cloud-based) documents you
used most recently.
Inline progress
bar for notifications: Based on your feedback, app developers can now send
toast notifications with a progress indicator to show progress to the user,
such as download progress, exercise progress, etc. As a highly related but
separate feature.
Scrollbar improvements
for UWP: We have
made improvements to the XAML scrollbar for mouse to ensure it is available
when you need it, while taking up less space and causing less undesirable
flashing when you don’t. With these changes, the panning indicator now appears
when you move a mouse over a scrolling region and the full scrollbar appears
when you want to directly interact with it.
Windows Hello
Enrollment Improvements: With Build 15007 we are bringing in some exciting
improvements around how you discover and enroll into Windows Hello’s facial
recognition. For devices and peripherals that support Windows Hello. you’ll now
see a visual guidance that tracks your face in real-time, shows you an improved
progress indicator and gives you real-time feedback to quickly and smoothly set
your face up for signing in.
Rainbow Flag: Microsoft’s
continued dedication to diversity brings the rainbow flag to the emoji
font and keyboard!
New Bluetooth
APIs: This is the
first build you can try out the new APIs that enable GATT Server, Bluetooth LE
Peripheral role and unpaired Bluetooth LE device connectivity.
Keyboard
navigation improvements for the Snipping Tool: You can
now take a screen capture using only your keyboard. Press Alt + N,
select the desired snip type and press enter – this will start the capture. Now
use the arrow keys to move the cursor to one of the intended corners of your
snip, and press either space or enter to start selecting your snip area. Once
you have the area you want, press enter or space again to finish the capture.
This keyboard navigation also works with the new Win + Shift + S keyboard
shortcut.

- When clicking on certain elements in desktop (Win32) games, the game minimizes and cannot be restored.
- Desktop shortcuts containing the “%” character (usually URI shortcuts with escaped characters) will result in a cyclical explorer.exe crash.
