A new build of Windows 10 is available to those who are part of the Fast Ring of the Windows Insiders program, and it comes with a slew of new upgrade for Microsoft’s own digital assistant Cortana.
In the latest Windows 10 build, Cortana will now be able to support Spanish (Mexico), Portuguese (Brazil) and French (Canada) languages. Aside from supporting these new languages, the team at Microsoft have also worked on Cortana to give it a “personality” that is relevant in each individual market and language.
Besides new languages, users will also be able to set simple reminders with Cortana. Users will have the option to set specific details like location, time, and people at a later time so that Cortana will surface it when its most relevant. In a future build, Microsoft says that Cortana will be able to retrieve these reminders upon request.
The lock screen will also be on the receiving end of a few changes. Currently, both the lock screen and the login screen have different backgrounds. In the latest Windows 10 build, both screens will feature a single background. If you’re currently using a custom background for your Lock screen, you’ll see said background on the Login screen as well. For those who uses Windows Spotlight for their Lock screen and Login screen, a future Windows build will be introduced to make it so that both screens uses the same picture.
Apart from these changes, the latest Windows 10 build will come with various fixes to pre-existing issues. You can find the full list of fixes here.
