Microsoft To Launch Windows 10 Creators Update

Microsoft To Launch Windows 10 Creators Update

During the Microsoft announcements earlier today Microsoft talked about a new large update for Windows 10, previously known as Redstone 2, now called the Windows 10 Creators Update.

Windows 10 Creators Update is due to be reelased in spring 2017 and places a focus on 3D and gaming as well as some other things. Funny to observe was that with the update several apps can now be used to design 3D objects. As previously known, Paint will support the creation of 3D objects. Today Microsoft revealed it will also be possible to print the designs with a 3D printer reports myce.com.

With your smartphone  you'll be able to capture 3D objects by moving the smartphone over and around object you like to capture. That will info be used to create and render the 3D object. You'll need a Windows 10 compatible smartphone, of course.
  

 
Paint will be totally revamped and renamed to Paint 3D. The software makes it possible for users to import photos and through its ‘Magic Select’ feature they can completely remove a person from the photo. Microsoft also revealed a community where users can share 3D objects called Remix 3D. Through the community it’s possible to print 3D objects through an online 3D print service. Paint 3D also support files from the Google’s popular online 3D community Sketchup. The community is already online but can only be accessed by users from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand

Also Powerpoint gets support for 3D, it becomes possible to add 3D objects from the Remix 3D community or 3D objects made with Paint 3D. Also 3D animations can be added to presentations. Microsoft’s augmented reality device HoloLens can also be used to retrieve 3D objects from the community. By selecting objects in HoloLens it’s possible to place them in the room where you are. A new feature in HoloLens is called HoloTour. This allows users to ‘teleport’ themselves to any place in the world. The feature requires a 360 movie of the location.

The Creators Update also adds several features targeted at gamers. A feature Microsoft calls ‘Beam’  allows gamers to stream their gameplay to others  The streaming feature is native to Windows 10 and works with all games that support streaming technology.

The Xbox console will get support Dolby Atmos with the Creators Update and Xbox Live will get an Arena feature that allows users to setup tournaments.

With the Creators Update, Microsoft tries to make it easier to connect to contacts in the addressbook. E.g. it will be possible to drag a picture of a person to a mail application which will then recognize that person and add it as a the recipient. From the desktop it will also be possible to share other files like photos with others. Microsoft also announced it will add a special ‘Share Charm to Windows 10 that resides in the bottom-right of the taskbar.
  

 
The company will also bundle all communication possibilities it offers in Windows 10. Through a special hub all communication between you and other persons can be viewed in a single app. SMS messages, mails and Skype messenger are all bundled together based on the name of the contact. This should make it easier to find messages and conversations.

Defender and Firewall require special procedures to totally disable using both group policy editor and services.msc, so you must have at least win 10 professional.

Anyhow been a win 10 insider since it started, only had a couple of "game stopping" stopping issue. One goes way back when they were making major changes to the audio stacks and the kernal, and the last insider build 14955 breaks crossfire not sure if does SLI, no it is not the driver reverted to many older ones, once I reverted build 14951 xfire works again.

IMO defender and the firewall is made hard to impossible to disable for the protection of the masses, if you feel you do not need them, then you should learn to actually be able to disable them.

My only gripe is actually cortanna, I want her gone but it will break other integrated os things so she lives on in my system but mostly disabled.

As in all previous versions of Windows you had to learn how to tweak it to run the way you want, these days I do not see the need for a program like winlite with how beefy our cpu's, ram, and hard drives are. I still know how to add, remove and plain out disable stuff as I see fit for my system.

I was once a skeptic but I am quite pleased with Windows 10. I have the pro version and I have a lot of stuff disabled but I don't see any value in trying to disable defender.

To disable the antimalware service from ever starting...it will spike up to 20% cpu usage for no reason I could find and generally would stay 2-3 to 10% cpu usage the rest of the time.

Windows 10 is fine with Defer Upgrades enabled and disabing the Windows Update Service and running it when you're ready for your weekly/biweekly updates. Anyone running the Anniversary Update and complaining about stability only have themselves to blame for updating early since it has not been deployed to systems in the Pro branch.

It has been deployed for Windows 10 Professional, if that's what you mean. What I guess you mean is the Current Branch for Business. It's usually 4 months back, but it does get the patch Tuesday security updates nonetheless.
