L’utilisateur a de nouvelles options de personnalisation concernant l’expérience tactile sur PC. Cela concerne le TouchPad.

Un écran de configuration de la gestuelle est aussi de la partie afin d’améliorer les possibilités de personnalisation.
Microsoft a également mis à jour la page des paramètres Wi-Fi avec de nouvelles possibilités autour de la connectivité sans fil. Ce nouvel écran est accessible dans Paramètres> Réseau et Internet> Wi-Fi. Il concerne les versions PC et mobiles.
Les équipes de développement ont aussi travaillé sur la prédiction de texte dans plusieurs langues. La liste est disponible en fin d’article.
Enfin, plusieurs améliorations pour les dispositifs mobiles font leur apparition.
Cette nouvelle version de Windows 10, Windows 10 build 14946 est uniquement proposée dans le cadre de l’anneau rapide du programme Insider. Elle est donc susceptible de s’accompagner de bug. Il n’est pas conseillé de l’utiliser sur un PC de production.
