Creators Update gives Windows 10 a bit of an Edge

Windows 10 was launched on July 29, 2015, just over 18 months ago, consigning the Windows 8 experiment to history and introducing the idea of "Windows as a service" – or in other words an operating system that (with a few exceptions) updates itself whether you like it or not.

Now here comes the Creators Update, or version 1703, the biggest feature update since the July 2016 Anniversary Update.

Nice list of what's changed (and what has not) in this update.

All I found interesting to me was:

Windows Defender, the built-in anti-malware tool, is more visible in this release, with an icon in the notification area and a revamped Security Center.

The rest? Nothing relevant to my daily usage.of Windows 10 which remains nothing more than a useful work tool to me - not one of life's experiences.

Creators Update gives Windows 10 a bit of an Edge

I use Edge on my Surface Pro 4 Windows10. It's the only device I use Edge as default. Creators is great, however at this point the only app I port to Creators is staffpad (music notation software.) Creators allows some "creative" outputs.

I have yet to find many uses for Creators as a stand alone program. I am still reliant on GIMP created graphics, but I'm excited about the new features this big update will bring & hope to utilize more of the Creators suite.

Each of us has a set of tools that ranks in importance. For some of my clients a few new changes to the privacy side of Win10 will be quite welcome.

Also like the memory management that will break our processes if there's enough ram available (and who is using less than 8gb these days?).

I currently do not run Win10 for my systems, but I do work on several dozens of machines for others. A little exploration will be in order. :)
