The latest release to Insiders on the Fast ring is Build 18290, and it comes with a number of improvements and additions.
SEE ALSO:
The most noticeable change is to the Start menu which gets a touch of Fluent design, making it look more attractive. Icons have also been added to the power and user menus. The Search and Cortana areas have been given a bit of a cleanup as well.
Also new in this build is an option in the Date & Time Settings that will let you manually synchronize your clock with the time server. If you suspect your PC clock might be showing the wrong time, this will let you check and correct the problem if you\u2019re right.
You can now also check to see which app is using your microphone (just hover over the microphone icon to see), and when your PC has an update that requires a reboot, you\u2019ll now be informed via an orange Windows Update indicator in the system tray.
General changes, improvements, and fixes in this build include:
