Windows 10: Cortana gets a big update on Windows 10 April 2018 Update with new interface

Microsoft is expected to make some big changes for Cortana on Windows 10 this year. The digital assistant in Windows 10 Redstone 5 preview build features a new interface and it appears that the new interface is now rolling out to the general public with Windows 10 April 2018 Update.

The new server-side update for Cortana in Windows 10 April 2018 Update revamps the look and feel of the digital assistant. For example, the Cortana homepage now has links to Apps, Settings, Documents, Photos and Web.

If you’ll search for any apps or services, Cortana will filter the results. For example, the search results for “Twitters” shows the Twitter app, photos, folders and web search results.



At the time of writing this story, the new and revamped Cortana interface shows up in the US. The new Cortana interface is gradually rolling out and it appears to be limited to devices with Windows 10 April 2018 Update and Windows 10 Redstone 5.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

I updated to main computer to the April 2018 Update, AKA Spring Creators Update, and it seems like they've taken a step backward with MKV file support. When I go into the properties of an MKV file on the Fall Creators Update, if I go to the details tab it gives me a bunch of detail about he media file, like resolution, framerate, audio information and bitrate. However, if I go into the same file's properties on the April 2018 Update, almost all of the information is blank, it only gives me a runtime and bitrate.

I really just want to confirm that this isn't just my computer and other's are experiencing the same thing.

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.
