You can now customize and organize your virtual desktops. “Virtual Desktops help you cognitively separate different tasks on your PC, including helping to create work-life separation. They can be swapped into view, letting you shift your work from one desktop to another. Instead of juggling multiple windows, you can switch between Virtual Desktops to multitask,” notes Microsoft.
Changes are also with File Explorer. Which includes a new “compact mode” in the View tab.
There are also changes to caption settings, inbox apps, Notepad is being updated via Microsoft Store, Windows Terminal is now an inbox app, and Power Automate Desktop in now an inbox app. For gamers, there is now a preview of Auto HDR for PC gaming. “ When enabled on your HDR capable gaming PC, you will automatically get awesome HDR visuals on an additional 1000+ DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games!

A Reminder about Insider Builds
Remember that Insider builds are meant for coders, IT admins, and Windows 10 enthusiasts who want to test new features and submit feedback to Microsoft. These builds are not meant for inexperienced users. They are also not meant to run on your primary production machine. Insider builds contain many known stability issues that can cause your system to become unstable or even crash.
