Windows 10: Microsoft Photos app for Windows 10 gets hardware acceleration support

Microsoft Photos app also comes with video editing feature and you can use it to create video from your own media. While it still can’t replace a professional video editor, it can help you with most of the basic tasks. Microsoft Photos app is aimed at consumers and it’s not meant to be a professional video editing app.

Microsoft Photos for Windows 10 is today receiving a new update that adds support for hardware acceleration which is aimed at video editing. Hardware acceleration is supposed to offload software to hardware which specializes in it.
