<\/p>\nAnnouncing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17040 for PC
\n<\/p>\n
Hello Windows Insiders!<\/p>\n
Today, we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17040 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring and for those who opted in to Skip Ahead.<\/p>\n
NOTE: The block for AMD PCs is no longer in effect as of this flight.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Adjust the brightness of SDR content on your HDR display: <\/strong>Starting with Build 17040, Windows now lets you adjust how bright SDR content appears when running in HDR mode on the desktop. On an HDR capable system, you will see a slider in the \u201cHDR and advanced color settings\u201d page under Settings > System > Display. This is one of the improvements to HDR image quality that we have planned based on feedback from Insiders.<\/p>\n New Cursor, pointer, and touch feedback section in Ease of Access Settings:<\/strong> Continuing our recent efforts to reorganize this section in Settings, you\u2019ll notice that \u201cchange cursor thickness\u201d, \u201cChange pointer size and color\u201d, and \u201cChange touch feedback\u201d have been moved to this new place.<\/p>\n Shape-writing with wide touch keyboard<\/strong>: With the Fall Creators Update we introduced shape-writing input for one-handed keyboard. We\u2019ve heard your feedback, and with today\u2019s build we\u2019re happy to announce that it\u2019s now also available when using the wide keyboard!<\/p>\n As a reminder, shape-writing is currently available for the following languages: Catalan (Catalan), Croatian (Croatia), Czech (Czech), Danish (Denmark), Dutch (Netherlands), English (India), English (United States), English (United Kingdom), Finnish (Finland), French (Canada), French (France), French (Switzerland), German (Germany), Greek (Greece), Hebrew (Israel), Hungarian (Hungary), Indonesian (Indonesia), Italian (Italy), Norwegian, Persian (Iran), Polish (Poland), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian (Romania), Russian (Russia), Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish (Sweden), Turkish (Turkey), and Vietnamese (Vietnam).<\/p>\n Improved Insertion Gesture: <\/strong>Based on your feedback about gesture recognition, we\u2019ve updated the insertion gesture (to add space between words or letters) to now be a small caret (see below gif for a demo of what it looks like, along with a cameo of our joining gesture).<\/p>\n A New Commit Gesture:<\/strong> We\u2019ve added a new gesture so you can automatically commit your text and clear out the text in the handwriting panel. This gesture looks like a 90 degree angle bracketing the end of your text \u2013 see gif below for an example of how it works.<\/p>\n Improved button layout for Chinese (Simplified) Handwriting<\/strong>: If you use Chinese (Simplified), you\u2019ll now see a layout similar to the one announced for other languages with Build 17035<\/a>. The buttons in the handwriting panel are collapsed by default \u2013 tap the button with the ellipsis to expand them.<\/p>\n Windows Insiders running the latest Insider Preview builds have also been able to try out early versions of Windows apps like Mail and Calendar, Skype, Photos and People. In an effort to improve this experience, we\u2019re asking Insiders to complete a quick survey<\/a>. The survey only takes 1-3 minutes to complete. As with all our surveys, the feedback you provide will not be will not be shared outside of Microsoft or associated with any personal information unless you choose to provide your Microsoft account email (MSA). Feedback from this survey will help us enhance the app preview experience with more timely app updates, more informative news announcements and other benefits.<\/p>\n No downtime for Hustle-As-A-Service, Source: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17040 for PC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17040 for PC Hello Windows Insiders!
