Windows 10: the spring update is available - Geeko

Among the new features, Windows offers to bring PC and smartphone closer, and improves or fixes some bugs.

Your Phone

Your Phone is a new application that brings your Android smartphone and your PC closer. You can now make, receive or reply by SMS to your incoming phone calls directly on your PC, without having your phone next to your computer. Your Phone is therefore an emulator for your Android smartphone on PC.

Cortana cat

Cortana is available as a cat. An application is integrated in the form of a chat "where you can type or say requests in natural language" to the personal productivity assistant. With a work or school account, you can also check the schedule, add tasks or set reminders.

Also note that: you can log in without a password, with your face, your fingerprints or your PIN code. Microsoft says "it depends on the hardware." To avoid unexpected advertisements when downloading an application, a "Blocking potentially unwanted applications" option can be activated in application and browser control.

Some other improvements

Pairing of Bluetooth devices will be faster. Connections can be made from notifications, without necessarily going through the parameters.

Virtual offices can be named from now on, against the old "Desktop 1" or "Desktop 2". On the word processing side, the notepad is equipped with a few features such as an asterisk in the title bar which indicates that you have unsaved changes.

Our High-tech file

Note that the calculator can be kept in the foreground at all times. The narrator's sounds are more functional: there is also a new command to summarize a web page.
