Windows 10: Windows 10 to get new Edge features and a new way to reset apps

Microsoft has confirmed that they are working on at least two new Chromium Edge-focused multitasking features. In addition, Microsoft says it will finally allow users to reset and fix the broken UWP apps using a new PowerShell command “Reset-AppxPackage”.

Access tabs for your pinned sites via the Taskbar


Starting with Build 20175, Microsoft says you can click on a pinned website in the taskbar to access a preview pane that will now display a thumbnail of the open tabs for that particular site.

This could be a useful feature when you pin Office web apps to the taskbar and you’ll be able to access open tabs for Office across all of your Edge windows.



At the moment, the feature is heading out to select testers in the Dev Channel of Windows Insider program.

Alt-Tab


The Alt-Tab is being updated with support for Microsoft Edge tabs. When you use Alt-Tab keyboard shortcut, Windows 10’s built-in app switcher will show your browser tabs right alongside your apps, allowing you to switch between apps and tabs seamlessly.

Reset UWP apps using PowerShell


In Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft added a feature to the Settings app that allows you to reset an app’s data without uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This feature is helpful when you have to recover an app that crashes on launch.

Starting with Windows 10’s next feature update, Microsoft will finally allow you to use PowerShell to reset your apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store. To reset an app’s data, you need to enter the following command in the PowerShell window:

• Get-AppxPackage *app-name* | Reset-AppxPackage

For example, when you have to reset the Camera app, you can use the following command:

• Get-AppxPackage *camera* | Reset-AppxPackage

This new PowerShell feature will also allow developers to create their own tool that will use PowerShell command to bulk reset your Store apps.

New features and improvements coming to Windows 10

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?

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."
