All About Windows 10 Version 1903<\/span><\/h1>\n

Windows 10 is only a few weeks away from its debut. Version 1903 is a major update which introduces new features, and significantly changes some major features of Windows 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not an OK to install Windows 10 Version 1903, rather it’s a guide to what’s coming in version 1903. We think most of the changes are welcome ones and make Windows 10 even easier to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless you’re an advanced user, a gambler or a masochist,\u00a0 we suggest you wait a few weeks after the initial release of Windows 10 Version 1903 (May 2019 Update) in order to allow time for early adopters to report problems and Microsoft to fix them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some, but by no means, all, of the new features in Windows 10 Version 1903 scheduled to be released towards the end of May 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Start Menu<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A more compact one-column design is introduced in Windows 10 Version 1903… but this will appear only on new installations and new user accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find new icons for the \u201cSleep,\u201d \u201cShut down,\u201d and \u201cRestart\u201d options in the power menu, and new icons for the \u201cChange account settings,\u201d \u201cLock,\u201d and \u201cSign-out\u201d options in the profile menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Search and Cortana<\/span><\/strong>

Starting with the Windows 10 Version 1903, Microsoft is splitting Cortana and Search into two separate searches in the taskbar. Windows Search is for searching for things on your computer and Cortana for searching the web and to provide assistance. The Windows Search results page has a new look making it easier to read and to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taskbar<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Action Center<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of a button that allowed you to set screen brightness to one of four brightness levels, a new slider control lets you adjust the brightness of your screen to any level of brightness.<\/span><\/p>\n

A list of programs that were removed will be left on the desktop to assist you in reinstalling your programs.<\/span><\/p>\n
