New Share Experience is Coming (Soon) to Windows 10

At its October Windows 10 event, Microsoft showed off a new taskbar-based My People feature. But tied to that is an improved Share experience, which can now be enabled (sort of) in Insider builds.

“We asked ourselves, what would it mean to prioritize our most important people in Windows?” Microsoft’s Allison O’Mahony asked during the October event. “With the Creators Update, we will give you a faster way to connect and share with the people who matter most on any Windows PC.”

While understanding the new Share UI is easy enough, it’s helpful to understand the broader context of what’s happening. This new Share experience was announced as part of the new My People feature that will debut with the Windows 10 Creators Update.

As O’Mahony—who says she has spent much of her 15 years at Microsoft working on strong human connections through technology—put it, this new functionality is about placing people at the center of Windows. And, literally: Your most important contacts will now appear directly on the taskbar, and thus will always be visible and easily available.

This feature has three aims: To provide Window 10 users with a faster way to share, a simpler way to cut through the noise, and a new way to feel closer to the people who matter most to you. And as suggested by that list, sharing is indeed a key reason for surfacing your most important contacts this way. It’s the why behind the My People feature.

“Our goal is to make sharing in Windows as fast and easy as possible,” O’Mahony explained. “And while it’s not complicated today, there are a lot of steps involved. I still have to find the content, launch the (correct) application for the person I want to share it with, I have to find that person in the application, attach the content, and send.”

If you’re familiar with the Share feature in Windows 10, you know that it’s a vestigial holdover from Windows 8. That is, it still uses an old Windows 8-style pane interface that slides in from the right of the screen. So, for example, if you want to share a photo using the Photos app, you get the old-school UI show here...

New features and improvements coming to Windows 10

Five good reasons for me to stick with W7

"For discovery and engagement, Microsoft will add a "Suggested" list, which will deliver smart suggestions of apps from the Windows Store if after a while you haven't installed any apps. You can also notice that the app tile also provides star rating and pricing information for a particular app."

"As the system learns your behavior using and installing apps, the Suggested list will become the "Recently added" list of apps. And when the users use the app enough, the apps will then get listed in the "Most used" list."

"Microsoft's Belfiore also noted that with these new tweaks, the Start menu is pretty much a final product. As such, we don't expect any more significant changes beyond what we see today."

"Cortana will also feature app discoverability from the Windows Store as users use search."

"Future updates of Microsoft Edge will include a new "New Tab" window with the most recent links users have visited in the form of tiles. If the site they visited has an app available in the Windows Store, you will see "Get the app" notification in the link tile as well."

You've gotta be kiddin' me. There must be some way to disable this "Get the App" notification or else I'm staying away from Windows 10 for good. Total nonsense. This feature won't be available to Enterprise users, will it?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

Open a new Explorer window.

Click View in the ribbon.

Click Options.

Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”

Click OK
