Using Windows 10 ? Your update is just hours away.

Previously named as the “Spring Creators Update”, the new name of Windows update is “Windows 10 April 2018” update. The name may not have the flair anymore, but at least it is a no-non sense, straightforward and descriptive approach.

It was all set to be launched on April 10th, but somehow a bug managed to push the date all the way to the last day of April. It is a free upgrade for Windows 10 users. The features you are going to get in the new update have been known for some time, but in case you missed it, here is all that you need to know.

Focus Assist

It is basically a ‘Do Not Disturb’ function which will mute notifications. You can also set your own laws to mute it and unmute it at your will. You can preset the names of people whom you want to be notified if they make a call or send an e-mail. There will even be an option to mute a tab in Microsoft edge. While this doesn’t sound like an exciting feature but is surely a quiet, unassuming, useful update. Once you disable the focus Assist, windows will give you a short summary of everything you missed.

Time Line feature

This is probably the biggest of all the features you are going to get. Timeline basically allows you to switch between mobile, tablet or computer all the time and still you will be able to pick up from where you left off, go back and forth between different devices. With this feature, you can get a view of your recent activity from the last 30 days, whether you use Edge on android or office 365 on windows. This feature can be quite useful but most developers are yet to support it.

File Sharing made easy

File sharing has been made easy with this new update, if both the computers have Bluetooth and the updated windows running in it, you can share files a lot faster than you used to.

Microsoft is also launching an updated Edge with full-screen support for books and PDFs with support for new grammar tool that can analyze sentences for you. You can also save your address and payment preferences to make payments easier.
