"With the gradual transition of windows10 21h2 to testing, a large number of new changes began to come as promised. In the newly released version of windows10 dev build 21277, some new elements have appeared in the beta version. Next, let's have a look.
1. New animation effects
After upgrading version 21277, an obvious change is the newly added window dynamic effect, which mainly comes from windows and dialog boxes. You can see this change when you open / close a new window or activate a dialog box in the application.
The whole effect is similar to the "window zoom" in the Win98 era, which is much cooler than the current version of "blanking". Think of Microsoft's proposal to make major changes to win10 UI in 21h2. Maybe this is a precursor.
New window animation
Maybe it's because of optimization. At present, this special effect still seems to be "stuck" on my computer. At the same time, there is a little "lag" in other transition animation. Overall, the experience is good, but it slightly affects the mood.
2. "Settings" banner
A banner bar has been added to the "Settings" panel, which has also appeared in previous revelations, but this time it actually appeared in front of everyone.
The banner contains three functions: currently logged in account, windows update status and rewards.
Among them, rewards may be unfamiliar to you. In fact, it is Microsoft's point reward system. Users obtain points by shopping, searching and giving opinions to Microsoft, and then exchange the points into gifts they are interested in (coupons, lucky draw, etc.), which is also a relatively grounded change.
However, at present, the top bar cannot be customized, and the default item is not very attractive, which is a small pity. But regardless of practicality, the setting panel with banners is indeed more beautiful than before, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise!
3. Lock screen supports search
Win10 lock panel is not make complaints about you, especially occasional text hints, which are often mistaken for "advertising"! In the new version, Microsoft has optimized this panel and added one click search function. If you are interested in the prompt content in the lock screen, you can directly click one button to enter its details page (Bing search).
4. Online speech recognition
"Online speech recognition" adds a new option, which can improve the recognition of the system's own voice by providing Microsoft with its own voice clips. This function is actually similar to the voice assistant on the mobile phone, but no additional practice is required.
In particular, some users with serious oral English can improve the accuracy of some speech recognition. However, in terms of the current situation of win10, I think the first thing to bear the brunt is to maintain the ecological environment like Xiaona. After all, the function of renniu x is useless without a carrier!
5. "Shake minimization" failure
"Aero Shake" originated in win7, which was a major innovation of windows aero UI at that time. By "shaking" the current window, you can quickly minimize other windows and improve the efficiency of window operation to a certain extent. However, although this function is cool, in fact, not many people use it. This time, Microsoft is also determined to take it off the shelves in this version.
6. Storage aware supports automatic cleanup
The new version restructures the "storage awareness" page, which is more concise and organized than the current version. The basic functions are similar to the current version, the only difference is the addition of an automatic file cleaning option.
7. "Weather" icon improvement
The weather app has made a little improvement. If you look closely, you will find that the new version of the weather icon is different from the old version, and it looks more stereoscopic. In addition, if an American city is opened, there is a corresponding disaster warning. Of course, in essence, this is localized information, similar to the current version of Cortana. Whether it can access domestic cities in the later stage depends on Microsoft's localization strategy.
8. Change of installation interface
Win10 build 21277 adds a device usage option in the installation interface, which allows us to define the purpose of the computer before formal operation. This function is actually a bit like the previous network settings to facilitate the system to adjust some default components and settings in advance.
In fact, it can be regarded as a breakthrough in Microsoft's strategy. After all, windows before was like a hodgepodge. No matter what users do, the system will give the same set of configuration. Of course, this does not mean that you can't perform other operations after selecting a certain item, but just make the system easier.
9. More application permission control
The new version adds more application permission control, and also expands some annotation copies. "Screenshot border" and "screenshot and application" are two newly added contents, which allow users to control screenshot permissions.
Of course, like other authorization functions, the restrictions here are limited to applications installed through the Microsoft Store. As for the Win32 Application manually installed by users, it is still out of control.
10. More powerful map of China
For a long time, win10 built-in map is an embarrassing existence. After all, there is Gaode Baidu in the front and the lack of win10 ecology in the back. I remember a few years ago, the built-in map of win10 couldn't be checked anywhere. Even the most basic navigation was very different from Gaode and so on.
However, from the current performance, the new version has been greatly improved in this regard. For example, its positioning is much more accurate than before. Navigation planning and bus routes should also be more detailed than the previous version. As for the newly added road condition tips and future departure time, they are also practical changes. In addition, there are 3D building models, multi tags, windows ink, etc., which have added a lot of points to this application.
But then again, compared with domestic map manufacturers who have been struggling for more than ten years, win10 map is still a short board in detail display, unable to display building brand, store information is greatly insufficient, does not support pictures or panoramas, no prediction and AI intelligent avoidance.
The key is that it can not meet the needs of domestic users for Android and IOS clients, which greatly limits the scope of use of this application.
11. Add "meeting now"
"Meeting now" is a function similar to remote conference in the new version of win10. Like other popular functions, it is also designed on the far right of the taskbar. This function was originally an upgrade of Microsoft NetMeeting, but after all, with Skype, the important task is naturally given to it.
Generally speaking, it is convenient to create and join meetings. You can complete them directly on the taskbar without opening Skype. Moreover, due to the endorsement of Skype, there is no need to worry about fluency and function. But for domestic users wrapped by wechat and nails every day, how many people will use it!
12. Search panel upgrade
The quick searches column is added to the search panel, mainly to cooperate with the web search preview function in the win10 search panel, such as today's hot news, current weather, today in history, etc.
However, since the web search preview can only be used in North America, this change can not be seen under the Chinese interface. It is necessary to manually adjust the win10 area to "United States".
13. New battery options
Compared with the battery management of MacOS, the power management of win10 is really difficult to be elegant. In a leakage diagram, we see a new power indicator panel, which can generate equipment power consumption diagram through time period, and support 7-day or 24-hour chart statistics.
In addition, there are statistical results of screen on, screen off, sleep mode and other modes. In short, with this function, we can quickly know which time period the equipment consumes the fastest power, which day the workload is greater, and so on.
Write at the end
Overall, Microsoft has given quite a lot of changes this time. Although the legendary "Sun Valley" (win10 21h2 new UI) has not appeared, it has been quite surprising.
It should be noted that some functions are only used in North America, so to experience small partners, you need to first modify the win10 region to "America" and download the English display language.
