Cortana can now add to-do items to the Microsoft To Do app

automatically.

You can now drag a downloaded font file directly onto the Fonts
panel of Settings to install it. There are new features and settings in
the Narrator screen-reader app.

And you’re now allowed to name a file beginning with a period!

The October 2018 Update

All that builds on the new stuff Microsoft brought to the October 2018

Update, like:

Clipboard History. Now you can scroll back through the last few

things you cut or copied, and paste any of them.

SwiftKey. On a touchscreen machine, you can enter text by

dragging your finger across the onscreen keys, using this new
keyboard that Microsoft bought.

Snip & Sketch. The new screenshotting app!

Make text bigger. There’s a single Settings slider that increases

the text size in every app at once.

Focus Assist. There are times when you might prefer not to be
interrupted, distracted, or awakened by the appearance (and sound)

of Windows 10’s notification tiles. This app restores the peace.

The April 2018 Update

The previous update introduced enhancements like these:

Timeline. Windows 10 already had Task View (you click an icon
on the taskbar or press +Tab to view miniatures of all your open

windows).
