Windows 10 search is changing significantly next year, but for now the October 2018 Update introduces new search previews in the Start menu. If you’re a dark mode fan then this new look is certainly for you. It’s a rather dramatic change from the usual white in the File Explorer, but it now suits the rest of the dark theme of Windows 10. Windows 10 has had a dark mode for some time, but it’s now extending to the File Explorer with the October 2018 Update. That will make cloud clipboard even more useful across multiple devices. Microsoft is also working to bring cloud clipboard support to SwiftKey in the future, and this will allow you to copy or paste data between a mobile devices and Windows 10. It’s particularly useful if you have a Windows 10 PC at home or work and a laptop for on the go, and you want to pick up where you left off. You can access a full history of your clipboard by using the Windows + V keyboard shortcut, and this will sync clipboard data across all your Windows 10 devices. My favorite new addition in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update is cloud clipboard. Microsoft says it’s working to try and make the Your Phone features available on iPhones too, but Apple has restricted access to SMS data in iOS so it will require a big change to get this Your Phone feature working with the iPhone. This is limited to Android devices right now, but you’ll be able to send and receive messages in the app and they’re sent from your phone. The biggest feature of Your Phone, however, is the ability to send SMS messages from your PC, using your phone. Your Phone makes it quicker to pull a photo from your device and immediately copy and paste it into a document you’re working on. Your Phone primarily works with Android devices right now in the October 2018 Update, and you’ll be able to sync photos and text messages. Microsoft has been focusing on making Android and iOS phones work better with Windows 10, and the new Your Phone app is designed to bring a lot of these efforts into a single destination. That feature alone makes it worth getting this latest Windows 10 update today, but I’ve been testing the Windows 10 October 2018 Update recently and here are my favorite new additions.
Most importantly, Microsoft is finally using machine learning to stop future updates from installing when you’re using your PC. Either way, the update includes a number of new features that improve Windows 10 whether you’re using it for work, gaming, or a mixture of the two. All you have to do is visit Windows Update to manually trigger this latest update, or wait until Microsoft starts pushing it out more broadly to PCs next week. Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 October 2018 Update is being made available to existing machines today.
