Microsoft has teased a number of new features coming to the reworked interface of Windows 10.<\/p>\n
In a video<\/strong><\/a> posted to Instagram, it\u00a0delves into a number of current and upcoming features.<\/p>\n One of the big changes shown is a reduced emphasis on the Start Menu’s Live Tiles, which the company previewed<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0during a Windows Insider webcast in early March.<\/p>\n The video shows how the tiles will be converted to new standard icons with backgrounds that adapt to the chosen colour theme or your wallpaper, instead of their current brightly-coloured frames.<\/p>\n In addition to the Live Tile revamp, several new accessibility settings are displayed, including the ability to scale size and select from a wide range of colours for the mouse pointer.<\/p>\n Other features include a new built-in snipping tool and enhanced support for the Xbox Adaptive Controller.<\/p>\n Additionally, the video shows how a user can snap various program windows to the border of the screen for improved multi-tasking.<\/p>\n In the last part of the video, Microsoft noted that Windows 10 is supported on Intel, AMD, and ARM-based systems.<\/p>\n The last chip is what is used in its Surface Pro X 2-in-1 convertible laptop and according to recent reports<\/strong><\/a>, is expected to be available in new devices releasing in the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n The video comes as Microsoft celebrates surpassing 1 billion devices that use Windows 10.<\/p>\n Microsoft originally aimed<\/strong><\/a> to have 1 billion systems running Windows 10 after about two or three years from its release in 2015.<\/p>\n A year after its launch, however, Microsoft backtracked on this target, as the failure of Windows 10 Mobile became evident.<\/p>\n Microsoft has teased a number of new features coming to the reworked interface of Windows 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":341101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[123,26970],"class_list":["post-343813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-microsoft","tag-windows-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343813"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343813"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":343833,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343813\/revisions\/343833"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Accessibility options<\/h3>\n
