3 new features you should try in Windows 10

Earlier in 2020, Microsoft released the last major update to the Windows 10 operating system for desktops and laptops.

Here are the 3 most important features of the new Windows 10 update, according to the “CNET” website:

1. Microsoft Edge offers privacy improvements

The new Edge browser includes a privacy feature that attempts to block websites following you on the Internet, similar to Firefox.

How to use the new Edge privacy settings:
Go to your taskbar banner or from the Start menu, it appears as a blue, green, and aqua circular wave.

To configure your privacy features, go to Settings> Privacy & Services. You’ll see three options: Basic (most trackers are allowed), Balanced (block trackers from websites you haven’t visited, Microsoft recommends this option), and Strict (block most trackers from all websites)

2. Customize the new Start menu

The classic Windows Start menu has been updated in the new update. The new version features a more streamlined design and replaces the solid-colored back panels behind the logos in the app menu with partially transparent backgrounds, so the icons stand out even more. The colors will also change depending on whether you are in light or dark mode.

How to customize the new Start menu:
If you want to add an accent color so that the boxes match the desktop theme, you can go to Settings> Personalization> Color and enable the accent color in the Start menu, taskbar, and action center. .

3. Open all tabs at once

How to customize your tabs: To open all tabs in Edge at once, press Alt + Tab. To configure your tab settings to turn the feature on or off, go to Settings> System> Multitasking. You’ll see a drop-down menu with options for what Alt + Tab can do.
