The software company Microsoft has just released the Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10130 for PCs. The latest build is for Windows Insiders in the Fast Ring, and is mainly about small and polish improvements, such as the addition of new icons.
Other changes in Windows 10 build 10130 include a few more Start tweaks and Taskbar animations for actions such as moving files and downloads. The tech giant Microsoft has refined the Jump Lists user interface so it is more similar to the rest of the new user interface for Start.
There are a few tweaks to Continuum, the software company's technology for making switching between desktop mode and tablet mode, so that tablet mode functions more like it did in Windows 8.1. With this new build, users can unpin and pin Reading list pane, Favorites pane and the Cortana pane in the Edge browser. Microsoft Edge is still codenamed Project Spartan in this build.
The Windows 10 for printing to PDF, now known as Microsoft Print to PDF, is available for testing in Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10130.
The software giant Microsoft has no plans to make the earlier Windows 10 build 10122 to the Slow ring due to a bug that affects users upgrading from Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
According to WinBeta, Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10130 should include stability improvements and a number of bug fixes to make the build more reliable to use.
The tech giant is still targeting a July 2015 release for Windows 10 and is probably to hit that goal, The Verge reported. Microsoft was apparently shy about declaring a date at BUILD because at the time it was not clear whether Windows 10 would be ready in time or not. However, now the July release seems very likely.
Present Windows 10 testers will possibly be the first to get the final version of the operating system ahead of any public upgrades. The software company is near to code completion where the operating system Windows 10 is locked in a certain state and engineers begin working on crushing bugs instead of including new features.
Users should expect to see various regular updates to Windows 10 post release as a result of the company's new 'Windows as a service' approach to its core product. Some features, such as extension support in the Edge browser, will not make the July launch for Windows 10 and will be delivered later in 2015.
