Quote:Now available for Fast and Skip Ahead ring users
Microsoft has just released a new Windows 10 preview build for Windows insiders as work on the next iteration of the operating system due in the fall continues.
Windows 10 Redstone 5 build 17666 is available for users in the Fast and Skip Ahead rings and comes with a plethora of changes, including an evolution of the Sets feature bringing tabs all across the OS.
With this new build, Sets gets support for the acrylic effect that’s part of the Fluent Design language. Tabs now come with an acrylic title bar, as well as a grey window border. Microsoft is also improving the Alt + Tab behavior by adding Microsoft Edge tabs in the task switcher, while also bringing options to mute tabs, just like you can do right now in browsers.
Hello, dark File Explorer!
Windows 10 build 17666 also introduces Cloud Clipboard, a feature that Microsoft announced at Build last year and which could become available with the Redstone 5 update.
Cloud Clipboard allows you to copy and paste from one device to another, all with the power of cloud. The feature needs to be enabled manually from Settings > System > Clipboard.
Microsoft is also shipping the very first dark version of File Explorer, which was actually silently implemented in previous builds of Redstone 5, along with several Notepad improvements like extended line endings support and search features with Bing.
There are also small refinements, such as options to rename Start tile folders, as well as an early implementation of phone support that allows Windows 10 users to link smartphones and PCs. At this point, however, this feature only supports link sharing from Microsoft Edge to pick up from where you left off, but options to transfer images and documents should arrive soon.
There are several other general improvements, as well as known issues, and you can check them out in the box after the jump.
