What has changed in Win10 Preview version 9879

Lock screen battery icon If you've been using Win8 or Win10 technology preview, it should be easy to spot that the new version adds a battery level icon here.

Animation improvements Build 9860 has improved the system transition animation, but many netizens find the new animation a bit muddy. In build 9879, the animations were further optimized. The overall effect slightly returned to 9841, mainly in the two places of window minimization and window restoration.

Overall, the animation is smoother, crisper, and less obtrusive.

9879 has replaced some of the icons, and while this is not something you can see in "this computer" or any of the first-level directories, if you open some of the lower subdirectories, it will be obvious that the new version is a little "different" from the old one. If we zoom in on it, the changes here are more pronounced, and the new icons are noticeably more stylistically flattened. Of course, this replacement is still in progress, so you will find that the old and new icons are still "competing on the same stage" in many places, but in any case, this is a general direction, and we look forward to the follow-up effect.

In addition to the start menu, I only found that the icon has changed, but when the original version is released, there should be a lot of changes.

1. In continuum mode, a new start menu.

Continuum mode is a solution launched by Microsoft to adapt to different usage modes such as notebook mode, tablet mode, etc., and from the win10 preview version 9879, the feature is still in a very early stage. For example, after clicking the full-screen button in the upper right, nothing happens.

2. More complete OneDrive synchronization mechanism.

In Win10 Preview version 9879, OneDrive is no longer a mandatory feature, and users can set the system to not run OneDrive when it starts. And the synchronization mechanism has also been improved, allowing users to freely choose which files will be synced.

3. Improved window animation effect.

Starting from win10 preview version 9860, win10 has added a new window animation effect, but the 9860 version of window animation is slightly stiff. The new version of win10 preview version 9879 has greatly improved this phenomenon, friends who have not yet upgraded to this version, you can visit the link below, get a glimpse of the dynamic effect of the new version of win10 in advance.

4. New three-finger gesture function.

The addition of the three-finger gesture makes it more convenient to use the win10 task preview function. It is estimated that after using the habit, some users can no longer do without it.

5. Flatten the folder icon.

Win10 Preview is obviously going further and further on the road to flattening, for example, this time Win10 Preview 9879 has added a new folder icon. How do you guys look?

This change is really based on the suggestions made by win10 users on the feedback platform. The current Microsoft is indeed different from the Microsoft of the win8 era.

7. Those changes in IE11.

The built-in IE11 browser in the Win10 preview version is said to have more than 2,000 interactivity issues fixed, and supports 19 new platform features, while the redesigned architecture has greatly improved the interoperability and compatibility of the browser.
