For those who have opted into the developer build of the latest Windows update, an exciting new feature has emerged, enhancing the user experience with a focus on app accessibility. This update introduces a seamless way to pair applications, allowing users to open multiple apps simultaneously with ease.
Enhanced Features and Functionality
As detailed in the latest Windows blog, users will now find a ‘frequently snapped apps’ section within the recommended tab of the Start menu. This feature, which activates upon clicking the Start button, simplifies multitasking by enabling the simultaneous display of various applications.
In addition to this innovative pairing capability, several other enhancements have been rolled out:
- Emoji Access: A dedicated section on the Taskbar now provides quicker access to emojis, enriching communication.
- Improved Search: The Taskbar search functionality has been refined for better efficiency.
- Recovery Email Prompt: Users will receive an additional prompt to add a recovery email, bolstering account security.
- Developer-Friendly Tools: The update simplifies the process for web developers, making it easier to create applications for the Windows platform.
This build also addresses various bugs that have surfaced in recent iterations, ensuring a smoother experience for users. Notably, Windows is currently offering a limited-time opportunity for users to switch between developer and beta access to its software. The developer build allows early access to new features but may come with increased instability, while the beta build provides a more consistent experience, albeit with a slower rollout of updates.
For those contemplating a change in their Windows build type, this moment presents an ideal opportunity to explore the options available.
