The new test preview of the operating system is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\/\">Creators Update<\/a>, and it brings a slew of new features and improvements that users will see in early 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Windows 10 build 14986, according to the software giant, includes new voice commands to use <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/cortana\">Cortana<\/a>, and the digital assistant gets a new full screen mode. Windows Ink gets a feature to resume your previous sketch, Windows Defender gets a brand-new dashboard, and there are new update experience improvements.<\/p>\n<p>As always, this test preview for the Creators Update release ships with a number of fixes as well as some known issues.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s new on Windows 10 build 14986<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Windows 10 Creators Update (build 14986): Hands-on with all new features and changes\" width=\"827\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/40Y89Ekqw58?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Cortana<\/h3>\n<p>Microsoft&#8217;s digital assistant is getting some great new features. For example, now you can use voice commands to ask Cortana to shutdown, restart, sleep, and lock your PC. And that&#8217;s not all, you can now use Cortana to control your system&#8217;s volume with voice commands too.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with build 14986, Cortana can also control music playback on more apps, including iHeartRadio and TuneIn Radio. You can even control music playback using Cortana when your PC is locked.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the assistant remembers the last played music, which means that you don\u2019t have to repeat the name of the app on every query. For example, if you say &#8220;Hey Cortana: Play Jazz on Groove&#8221;, and you say &#8220;Play rock music&#8221;, then\u00a0the music will keep playing on Groove.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps one of the major improvements with Cortana on Windows 10 build 14986 is the new full screen experience, which you get when your PC is unlocked and idle. For example, now if your device is idling for at least 10 seconds, you can say &#8220;Hey Cortana&#8221;, and then you&#8217;ll see assistant in full screen &#8212; just like the experience you get when your PC is locked.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83824\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83824\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cortana-fullscreen-windows10.png?resize=827%2C552&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cortana full-screen mode\" width=\"827\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cortana-fullscreen-windows10.png?w=1294&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1294w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cortana-fullscreen-windows10.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/cortana-fullscreen-windows10.png?resize=861%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 861w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cortana full-screen mode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, on this flight, Microsoft is adding the ability for an organization or school to use Azure Active Directory (AAD) identity to sign in to Cortana instead of using a Microsoft account.<\/p>\n<h3>Windows Ink<\/h3>\n<p>Windows 10 is also introducing a number of improvements for the Windows Ink experience that users will get with the Creators Update.<\/p>\n<p>On this flight, you&#8217;ll never lose a sketch when you accidentally close Screen Sketch.

However, because the back-end services aren\u2019t yet available, this feature doesn&#8217;t work yet.<\/p>\n<h3>Microsoft Edge<\/h3>\n<p>The Windows 10&#8217;s default browser isn&#8217;t getting new features, but it&#8217;s gaining three additional extensions, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/p\/ebates-cash-back\/9nblggh4skr9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ebates<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/p\/true-key-by-intel-security\/9nblggh3zsvt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intel TrueKey<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/p\/read-write-for-microsoft-edge\/9nblggh4s40h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read &amp; Write<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Updated rendering technology<\/h3>\n<p>The rendering engine used on most Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps has been updated, so for now you&#8217;ll see some visual glitches.<\/p>\n<h3>Narrator<\/h3>\n<p>On Windows 10 build 14986, Narrator is getting a number of improvements, including keyboard shortcuts to hear additional information about fonts, colors, line spacing, margins and more. There is also a new keyboard shortcut for getting advanced information about the selected item (<strong>CAPS LOCK + 0<\/strong>, used to be <strong>CAPS LOCK + FN<\/strong>), Context Awareness changes, and several other fixes.<\/p>\n<h3>Registry Editor<\/h3>\n<p>The operating system now incorporates standard File Explorer keyboard shortcuts to the Registry Editor, which makes it easier to navigate with the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>You can use <strong>ALT + UP ARROW<\/strong> to go up, <strong>ALT + LEFT ARROW<\/strong> to go back, and <strong>ALT + RIGHT ARROW<\/strong> to go forwards.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you can now even customize the font used by the Registry Editor.<\/p>\n<h3>USB Audio 2 Class Driver<\/h3>\n<p>In previous builds, Microsoft added a new USB Audio 2 Class Driver, but now the operating system will use third-party drivers if one was available. However, for the time being, Windows 10 will use the new USB Audio 2 Class Driver even though another one may be available, but later on Microsoft will change this behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is listing the complete set of the features, fixes, and known issues for build 14986 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windowsexperience\/2016\/12\/07\/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-14986-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the following resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/whats-windows-10-latest-version-number\/\">Windows 10 latest version number<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-10-creators-update-features\/\">Windows 10 Creators Update features<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Windows 10 build 14986 is available immediately through the Fast ring.
