Windows 10: Microsoft releases Windows 10 Build 17692 for Insiders with new features

Microsoft is today rolling out yet another build from the Redstone 5 branch to the beta testers. The company today released Windows 10 Build 17692 (RS5) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring and Skip Ahead. Windows 10 Build 17692 comes with new features and improvements.

Windows 10 Build 17692 brings improvements for Microsoft Edge, the default Windows 10 browser replacing Internet Explorer. The update also introduces SwiftKey integration and other enhancements to improve the user experience.

With SwiftKey on Windows 10, you’ll be able to get more accurate autocorrections and predictions in on-screen keyboard. SwiftKey will also learn your writing style to enhance the keyboard experience.

“Please take a moment to try typing and shapewriting on the touch keyboard in this build and let us know what you think,” Microsoft’s Dona Sarkar said.

Microsoft is making it easier than ever to automate testing in Microsoft Edge using WebDriver. Microsoft explains that the WebDriver is now a Feature on Demand in Windows, it will be kept up-to-date to automatically match the build/branch/etc. Previously, it was necessary to manually update WebDriver separately from Windows.

You need to turn on Developer Mode or you can also install it from “optional features” Settings page.

Microsoft is also making improvements to the Game Bar. You can now change your default audio output device, see your game’s CPU usage, GPU VRAM usage, and more.

Microsoft announced that the company is working on a new feature for Edge that will allow you to control whether media can play automatically. The feature will give you more control over autoplay videos. Kyle Pflug from Microsoft Edge team explains that the feature will be added to Edge soon, and you’ll find it under Advanced Settings.

Microsoft testing blue light reduction feature for Windows 10

"Microsoft is slowly revealing new features in its next major update to Windows 10, and it appears blue light reduction feature might be a future addition. The software giant released a new build of Windows 10 testers yesterday with very few visible additions, but Windows enthusiasts have already started picking it apart for clues on new features. Twitter user "Core"has discovered references to a "BlueLightReduction" setting deep within the next major update to Windows 10 (codenamed Redstone 2). It appears to be a setting that will be toggled from the Action Center (notification center) in the operating system.

F.lux has been the most popular option for Windows users looking to reduce blue light in the evenings, but Microsoft's own native toggle will bring this feature to every Windows 10 user. Apple has also integrated a similar feature in iOS 9, but it hasn't announced any plans to bring blue light reduction to Mac OS yet. Microsoft only appears to be testing the feature right now, so there's no guarantee it will ship in the update due early next year. If Microsoft does implement it fully then it will presumably be available on the mobile version of Windows 10, too."
