If you are a Microsoft Edge user, Windows 10 Insider Build 17713 may be an interesting addition: the ability to manage video by auto-reading site-by-site.
The new version of Windows is not very greedy in new features for consumers, although business users can find interesting additions: Web connection, fast connection and even use of biometric connections to connect to a Remote PC. Microsoft has made some improvements to the way Edge uses PDF files, and even Notepad.
Here's an overview of what's new:
Autoplay, PDF Commands in Edge
While Chrome and Other Browsers To Decide What to Do With Autoplaying Video on Web Sites, Microsoft Edge Does Not Have not followed suit, until now. As part of the new Edge Site Controls, you have the freedom to decide whether to auto play the video. To access the controls, click the small padlock icon in the browser.

Edge has added dictionary functions, which allows you to highlight a word and get a definition. If you open a PDF file in Edge, you will also see floating text descriptions for the icons. You Can Also Hide PDF Toolbar
Microsoft Adds WDAG Configuration Options
The vast majority of users have probably never used Microsoft's Windows Device Application Guard (WDAG) browser secure to feed the dark corners of the Web. (Here's how.) But one of his weak points, in addition to performance, has been the ability to configure what he's doing. The new version pushes more options in front of you, in the Settings menu.

The Microsoft WDAG is not very intuitive, so additional configuration options are useful. ] Notepad beefs up with zoom, found wrapped
Microsoft surprised a lot with its improvements for Notepad that deployed in Insider Build 17666, and now there is even more. Version 17713 allows users to search for strings of text in encapsulated text, and there is something slightly better: the ability to zoom in on text. We will not have to deal with a tiny text anymore! Just use CTRL + Plus ( Ctrl and the plus sign), or Ctrl + Minus ( Ctrl and the minus sign) -the same Controls to enlarge and close web pages to control font size

Business Connections Get Easier: Quick Connect and More [19659005] These features are not available consumer PC (yet?) But they deserve to be known: If you use Remote Desktop, you now have the option to use Windows Hello to connect to a remote PC in the framework for the Remote Desktop session. Microsoft has also enabled the company to connect with web-based credentials (known as SAMLs) as well as what Microsoft calls "Fast Sign-In," which dramatically reduces the time it takes users to connect to a shared PC. However, these three options require specific policies to be enabled on the PC

Build 17713 seems a bit more unstable than others, though. Currently, there is a bug that blocks the ability to recover or reset your PC, so you may want to delay updates until it is fixed. The other strange bug is that with PCs that have multiple monitors, the display may be a little off. If you see this, try the good old Ctrl-Alt-Del to display the Task Manager, then click the Cancel button.
