Build 15046 was the 22th Insider
Preview build of Windows 10 Creator Update. It was released on FEB 28, 2017.
This arrived via new "RS2" (RedStone2) development branch.
Color of
Cortana’s home on the taskbar: You had a LOT of opinions on this topic and we have
been loving the enthusiastic feedback coming in! We finished our experiment
with the color of Cortana’s home on the taskbar and for now, it’s back to the
color it was before.
Windows Defender
Improvements: Windows
Defender Security Center has added a notification icon to the notification area
so you can see your protection status at a glance. You can also easily launch
the app from the notification icon. Windows Defender Antivirus notifications
also now lead to Windows Defender Security Center when clicked. Also: Windows
Defender Security Center can now be launched directly from the Settings app and
the “App and Browser” page is now functional.
Pick up where
you left off in Cortana: We are experimenting with how we display what you can
pick up where you left off across your devices in Cortana. Cortana now
proactively shows you apps, files and websites from Microsoft Edge. Previously,
this feature only displayed websites from Microsoft Edge in Action Center.
Improved
translations: For
Insiders who speak non-English languages, we wanted to let you know that we
have heard your feedback on our translations and have been actively making
improvements. With this build you should see improvements – particularly in
OOBE and for some of our newer settings, but across the system as well. We
encourage you to take a look around the system, and if you spot anything
translation that doesn’t quite seem on point.
Updated Gaming
Settings icon: A lot of
you sent in feedback on this. We listened and adjusted the Gaming icon in
Settings to feel more inline with the other icons on the Settings home page.
Application
Installation Control: You now
have the option to control what type of apps are allowed to install on your PC.
This setting is available by going to Settings > Apps > Apps &
features. You can choose to only allow installation of Store apps, choose to be
warned when installing a non-Store app but allow their installation, or choose
to allow installation of apps from anywhere.
When you choose either of the Store options, you’ll
see a warning when attempting to install a non-Store app. The warning will
direct you to the Store where you can download an alternate app if available.
In some cases, when there’s already an equivalent app in the Store, the warning
will provide link to that app. This is an opt-in feature, and the default
setting is to allow installation of apps from anywhere.
