1. Windows 10 reset with cloud download<\/h3>\n
In the Recovery<\/strong> page, \u201cReset this PC\u201d is getting a new Cloud Download<\/strong> feature with version 2004, which allows you to download a fresh copy of Windows 10 directly from the Microsoft servers, instead of using the file locally available on the computer.<\/p>\n
![\"Reset](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/reset-pc-cloud-download-windows-10-pureinfotech.jpg?resize=827%2C521&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Reset this PC with Cloud download option on Windows 10 2004<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The \u201cCloud Download\u201d option will reinstall the same build, version, and edition, that is currently installed on your device. Also, when selecting the new option, it\u2019ll remove all the apps already installed on the device. In addition, if the \u201cRemove everything\u201d option is selected, user data will also be deleted.<\/p>\n
If you prefer not to re-download the files from the cloud, you can still select the \u201cLocal reinstall\u201d option, which will create a recovery build to reinstall Windows 10 using the files on your machine.<\/p>\n
2. Text cursor indicator feature<\/h3>\n
Another best new feature with the May 2020 Update is the Text cursor indicator<\/strong>, which is a feature that will help you see and find the text cursor anywhere it might be, at any time.<\/p>\n
You can enable the new feature, in the new “Text cursor” page, in the \u201cEase of Access\u201d settings, and turning on the text cursor indicator<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n
![\"Text](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/text-cursor-indicator-windows-10-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C555&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Text cursor indicator option on Windows 10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The settings allow you to select from a range of sizes and colors to make easier for you to find the cursor.<\/p>\n
3. File backup settings<\/h3>\n
The Backup<\/strong> settings page has been updated with an option to backup your files on the Desktop, Documents, and Pictures to cloud using OneDrive.<\/p>\n
![\"Backup](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/windows-10-backup-onedrive-option.jpg?resize=827%2C336&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Backup settings with OneDrive option on Windows 10 May 2020 Update<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Also, users without a first party backup solution will now see a friendly reminder to consider setting up a backup option that is included with Windows 10. (If you\u2019d prefer to turn this off, there is an option in the notification.)<\/p>\n
4. Windows Subsystem for Linux 2<\/h3>\n
Starting with version 2004, Windows 10 is introducing Windows Subsystem for Linux 2, which is a latest version of the feature that runs ELF64 Linux binaries.<\/p>\n
![\"Check](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/check-wsl2-windows-10-powershell.jpg?resize=827%2C221&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Check distro using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 on PowerShell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n This new architecture uses a real Linux kernel, and as a result it changes the way that Linux binaries interact with Windows 10 and the hardware while keeping the same experience.<\/p>\n
Also, the new experience means faster file system performance and full system call compatibility, which allows you to run more applications, such as Docker, and you\u2019ll be able to connect network apps using localhost.<\/p>\n
In addition, WSL2 now includes support for global configuration options that you can apply to each distro.<\/p>\n
5. Windows 10 network cameras support<\/h3>\n
Another best feature available with the Windows 10 May 2020 Update is native support for network cameras to make it easier for developers to build security and machine learning video analytics solutions.<\/p>\n
The new support will allow easy discovery, pairing, configuration, and streaming of TCP\/IP-enabled for major ONVIF Profile S compliant camera brands.<\/p>\n
Also, developers will be able to stream from a given RTSP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) through the same Windows camera APIs. And they\u2019ll also be able to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) services and features to create high performance end-to-end security solutions, including for common surveillance scenarios like people detection or face sentiment analysis.<\/p>\n
6. Virtual desktops rename<\/h3>\n
If you use virtual desktops to group different tasks or project, you can now specify a custom name for each desktop.<\/p>\n
![\"Rename](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/rename-virtual-desktop-windows-10.jpg?resize=827%2C375&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Rename virtual desktop option on Windows 10 2004<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n You can rename a virtual desktop by clicking the header of the desktop and changing the name. Or you can right-click the thumbnail of the desktop in Task View, and a context menu with a Rename<\/strong> option in it should appear.<\/p>\n
7. Cortana app<\/h3>\n
Starting with Windows 10 version 2004, Cortana is no longer part of the operating system. Instead, it\u2019s now an app that updates through the Microsoft Store and provides a new chat-based interface with the ability to input text or voice to interact with the assistant.<\/p>\n
![\"Cortana](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cortana-app-windows-10-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C517&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Cortana app on Windows 10 version 2004<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The app also supports the light and dark mode available on Windows 10, and the new experience offers a less intrusive screen for \u201cHey Cortana\u201d queries that can stay in the flow while you work. In addition, the assistant has been updated with new speech and language models, performance has improved, and you can even drag and resize it like any other app.<\/p>\n
As a result of this transmission from being a core feature to be converted to an app, you\u2019ll no longer find references of Cortana in the homepage of the Settings app.<\/p>\n
8. Optional features settings<\/h3>\n
Windows 10 May 2020 Update is adding changes to make the Optional Features<\/strong> settings more usable, including the ability to select and install multiple optional features at the same time.<\/p>\n
![\"Optional](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/optional-features-settings-windows-10-may-2020.jpg?resize=827%2C558&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Optional Features settings on Windows 10 May 2020 Update<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n In addition, starting with this feature update, WordPad<\/a>, Paint<\/a>, and Notepad<\/a> are now features on-demand, which means that you can remove and add them back again from the Optional Features settings page.<\/p>\n
9. Windows 10 passwordless feature<\/h3>\n
As part of the sign-in experience, Windows 10 is introducing a new Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts<\/strong> option, which is perhaps one of the best new features on version 2004. When the features is enabled will switch your Microsoft accounts (those configured on your device) to modern authentication with Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, or PIN. (This option will remove the password option from the \u201cSign-in\u201d page and across the operating system.)<\/p>\n
![\"Require](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/required-windows-hello-signin-windows-10-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C640&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts option<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n In addition, the “Sign-in options” page now is splitting the ability to restart apps automatically after a restart under the \u201cPrivacy\u201d section. This change means that moving forward, you\u2019ll now be able to control whether registered apps can launch automatically after a restart using the new Restart apps<\/strong> setting.<\/p>\n
If you usually have to use Safe Mode, you can now sign into your account with a PIN while in Safe mode. In the past, you\u2019re required to use a password to sign in, even if you use a PIN to login into your account in normal mode.<\/p>\n
Also, in the sign-in experience, Windows 10 2004 ships with several improvements, including a new feature to help investigate problems with the sign-in screen.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re having problems signing in, you can now use the Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + L<\/strong> keyboard shortcut to start a recording, reproduce the issue, and then use the shortcut again to produce a reference number that you can share when reporting the problem to Microsoft.<\/p>\n
![\"Windows](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/win-ctrl-shift-L-windows-10-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C517&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + L Sign-in screen troubleshooter on Windows 10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n 10. Notifications settings<\/h3>\n
In this update, Microsoft is also bringing new refinements for the notification settings. For example, now notification popups include an inline option to turn off notifications for that app or open the app\u2019s notification settings.<\/p>\n
![\"Toast](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/toast-notifications-windows-10-20h1.jpg?resize=600%2C306&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Toast notifications settings on WIndows 10 May 2020 Update<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n 11. Status settings<\/h3>\n
In version 2004, the Status<\/strong> page is getting an update with a new view of active connections and quick access to change settings. (If you have multiple connections, only the one connected to the internet will be shown in the diagram.)<\/p>\n
![\"Data](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/network-data-usage-settings-windows-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C480&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Data usage option on Network status page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Also, you’ll notice that the Data usage<\/strong> section is not longer available from the left side. This is because you can now see how much data is being used by a network right from the “Status” page.<\/p>\n
If it looks like you\u2019re using a lot of data, you can access the “Data Usage page” to create a limit for that network, which will warn you if you get close or go over your limit. You can also see how much data each app is using on that network.<\/p>\n
12. Language settings<\/h3>\n
The Language<\/strong> settings isn\u2019t getting new features, but you\u2019ll find several visual changes. For example, the page is getting redesign to make it easier to understand your current configuration.<\/p>\n
The page now includes an overview section letting you quickly understand which languages are configured as default for their \u201cWindows display,\u201d \u201cApps & websites,\u201d \u201cRegional format,\u201d \u201cKeyboard,\u201d and \u201cSpeech.\u201d<\/p>\n
![\"Language](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/language-settings-windows-10-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C480&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Language settings on Windows 10 version 2004<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n In the page, each icon in the settings is actionable, which means that if something doesn\u2019t look correct, you can click the settings to change it.<\/p>\n
Also, when installing a new language, the extra options are clearer to understand, and you can hover over each feature to get a tooltip that will appear with a description.<\/p>\n
13. Bluetooth pairing<\/h3>\n
Another best new feature on Windows 10 version 2004 is Bluetooth pair. Although you have been able to pair wireless devices for a long time, after installing this update, you\u2019ll be able to pair a Bluetooth device directly from the notification popup, as soon as the device is detected, without the need to open the Settings app.<\/p>\n
![\"Bluetooth](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/bluetooth-pair-windows-2004.jpg?resize=827%2C451&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Bluetooth pair from notification on Windows 10 version 2004 (source: Microsoft)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n In addition, Windows 10 now has an improved interface that shows less notifications making pairing a little faster. The feature now adds a Dismiss<\/strong> button to the first notification to give you more control while using \u201cSwift Pair.\u201d<\/p>\n
14. Microsoft Defender Antivirus<\/h3>\n
Starting with the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, Microsoft is extending Windows Defender ATP capabilities beyond the operating system, and as a result the name of the security feature is changing from \u201cWindows Defender\u201d to \u201cMicrosoft Defender\u201d to reflect that the solution is now a cross-platform approach for endpoint security.<\/p>\n
![\"Microsoft](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/microsoft-defender-windows-10-20h1.jpg?resize=827%2C569&quality=78&strip=all&ssl=1\")
Microsoft Defender on Windows 10 version 2004<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n These are some of the best features and improvements coming with the Windows 10 May 2020 Update. Do you know other hidden gems in this update that weren\u2019t mentioned?<\/strong> Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
