Build 16199 was the 8th Insider
Preview build of Windows 10 Fall Creator Update. It was released on MAY 17,
2017. This arrived via new "RS3" (RedStone3) development
branch.
Emotive Experience in My People:
- See
emoji from your pinned contacts: When
you receive emoji from your pinned contacts you can now watch them appear and
animate right from the taskbar! Have one of your pinned contacts send you
an emoji via Skype (for example “(hero)”) and see what happens! If you’d
like to turn this off, open taskbar settings by right-clicking on the
taskbar.
- Notification Badging: The contacts pinned to your taskbar will now display a counter if there are unseen messages, ensuring you have at-a-glance access to communications you have missed from your pinned contacts. Note: You might need to update Skype to version 11.16.556.0 to see notification badges when new Skype messages come in.
- People-first
Sharing:
You now have two easy ways to share with your people in Windows 10!
Drag-and-drop files directly onto the contacts in your taskbar to start an
email, or share directly to your contacts via the share picker by choosing
from a list recommended people to email.
Improved Game Settings: We’ve made some improvements and adjustments that PC gamers will
enjoy via Settings > Gaming and the Windows Game bar (WIN + G). Some things
to check out:
- Broadcast using game-only audio: Under Settings > Gaming > Broadcasting, you can now choose “Per-app audio” to broadcast using only the game’s audio to Beam as opposed to the audio for your entire PC.
- Audio settings is now Game DVR in Game bar: We have renamed the Audio settings page under the settings in Game bar to be Game DVR. All Game DVR settings from the general gaming settings page has been moved to be under Game DVR. Per-app audio settings is also included here as well.
Other Settings Updates: One of our ongoing goals is to help make it easier for you to
understand the state of your system and quickly get to the settings you need to
tailor your Windows 10 experience. With that, this build brings two new
features to Settings:
- Settings
> System > About now integrated with System Health: The About Settings page has been
simplified to be accessible to all customers. In addition to the overall
UX cleanup, we have also added a health section that pulls in information
from the Windows Defender Security Center so you can see your system
health at a glance.
- Tips
and Videos in Settings:
To help you learn more about your options, we’re starting to add tips and
videos to Settings. We’re still growing our collection, but to start with
you can find them in under Settings > Ease of Access or Settings >
Update & security, a handful of other areas. More content is being
added all the time and we’re really hoping to get your help figuring out
the best tip content for each page. If you have an idea of a tip that
would help your least techie friend or family member, please provide us
feedback through the feedback hub! Note: Depending on the size of the
Settings window, you will find the tips either at the bottom of the page,
or on the side.
Expanding Storage Sense’s abilities: We’re continuing to grow this feature, and you can now choose
to automatically clean up files that have been unchanged in your Downloads folder
for 30 days. Just go to Settings > System > Storage and click on “Change
how we free up space” to adjust this setting.
Streamlining Narrator Feedback: We’ve updated Narrator so that when you press Caps Lock + E +
E while Narrator is running, it will now launch the Feedback Hub.
Incoming call notifications: For our Insiders with Android phones, Cortana can now display
cross device incoming call notifications! Install the Cortana app on your
phone, go to “Settings” > “Sync notifications” and turn on all the Cortana
cross-device features. The next time you receive a call, a notification will
appear on your Fast ring PC telling you who it is and giving you the option to
text back a reply or decline the call.
