Windows 10 Build 10036 changes detailed in new video

Earlier today we shared some leaked screenshots from build 10036 of the Windows 10 Technical Preview but now the folks over at WinBeta have published a 6 1/2 minute video showing off many of the changes in this build. If you are like me then seeing actual use and action makes it much easier to understand.

Some of those changes that are detailed in the video include:

- Updated Task View interface and new features including the numbering of the virtual desktops, the ability to drag open programs from one desktop to another and only open apps for each desktop are shown on the corresponding taskbar as open unlike in build 9926 however, this can be set back to the 9926 behavior if you want it

- Transparency on Start Menu

- No icons on Places locations at the top of the menu

- Drop down menus from folders on the All Apps list

- Windows Defender settings now in the PC Settings app

- New WiFi flyout instead of being sent to the Network area of PC Settings to connect to a WiFi network including entering the network key

- Windows Insiders can track feedback, missions completed and usage stats in the Insiders Hub

Like I said earlier, the video is a great way to see these changes and personally it gets me excited about what is coming in the next build.

So what do you think of the changes shown off in the video?

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
