To that end, the latest updates to Windows 10 bring a number of notable improvements to Microsoft Edge. Web browsing is a very popular aspect of any platform. Cortana improvements are finished off with country support extended to Australia, Japan, Canada, and India. There’s also productivity improvements to the assistant, as well as the integrated ability to track movie bookings and even book an Uber ride. Making notes or scribbling contact information in Cortana Notebook will now allow the assistant to recognize contact details such as name, telephone number and email address. One of Microsoft’s biggest areas of appeal, the digital Cortana assistant, has also received some functionality improvements. Those who opt for the latest update which will bring the OS up to version 1511 (build 10586), will also be able to notice that the desktop apps now carry a colored title bar as well, a small but big-on-the-eyes change. Boot times of machines and devices, as well as a whole host of other everyday tasks have received a performance boost of approximately 30% over Windows 7 installed on the same device. One of the major improvements focuses on the performance that users receive when working with Windows 10-powered machines.

Microsoft is particularly excited about this update not only because of the milestone that it represents, but also the fact that it takes Windows 10 to a point where the software company can “confidently recommend Windows 10 deployment to whole organizations”. The important update is not only the first major milestone for Windows 10, but also represents the first major update for the platform since its original launch earlier this year in July.

The software company has announced that those running Windows 10, or those intending to update from a previous version of Windows, will now be able to take advantage of the latest additions and improvements that come packaged with the latest update.

Microsoft’s Windows 10 gets its first major update today.
