Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17666 released
Today, Microsoft once again released updates for the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17666 for Fast channel users. Many new features that were previously unveiled at the Build 2018 conference also appear in this version. This version update also brings a lot of new features: for example, improvements to the Sets tab function, the new clipboard experience, the dark theme of the Explorer, improvements to Notepad, and more.
Windows 10 Build 17666 version of the main updated content:
- Bring on the acrylic! We love Fluent Design as much as you do – in today’s build you’ll find that Sets now have an acrylic title bar. We’re also adjusting the window border so that it’s now grey.
- Recent Microsoft Edge tabs now show in Alt + Tab: Do you use Alt + Tab to quickly switch back and forth between apps? All of your recent Microsoft Edge tabs will now be included, not just the active one. Prefer it the old way? Use the “Pressing Alt + Tab shows the recently used…” setting in Multitasking Settings.
- Should apps and websites open in a new window or a new tab? It’s up to you!The Sets section of Multitasking Settings now lets you set your windowing preference. If you choose “Window”, new windows won’t open into a new tab unless you explicitly click the + or drag with your mouse. Choosing “Tab” opens any new windows invoked from your running apps into tabs. As a reminder, if you would like to exclude any particular app from Sets, you can do this from this same settings page.
- Want to mute one of your web tabs? You can now do that! When a webpage in Sets starts playing audio, you’ll now see a volume icon on the tab. Simply click it and the audio will mute, just like in Microsoft Edge.
- Tabs will now restore with better performance – they’ll open in the background and use no resources until you go to the tab. This means you can restore a lot of tabs at once with no issues.
