Microsoft has released the latest build of Windows 10, its Windows 10 build 14971 and its released for the first ring inside channel only. Mean there is no official ISO for this Windows 10 build 14971. Microsoft has added lots of new features and upgradations with this build. One of the big features is EPUB support. EPUB is the next generation ebook read format. As you know Edge handles the PDF format but still it was unable to handle EPUB formats like the Firefox or Chrome. But now Edge browser will be able to open EPUB files.
Another change is the Win+X menu. Win+X is very useful to open many tools like command prompt etc. But Microsoft has removed the command prompt shortcut from Win+X menu and add PowerShell as Microsoft wants us to use PowerShell instead of Command Prompt.
Still, there is an option to revert it back from Setting >>Taskbar option. You need to do this
- Right-click on the Windows 10 taskbar and select Settings.
- Find “Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the start button or press Windows key + X”.
