The Updated Photos App
This update is first on our list for one simple reason: we all love to click photos or shoot videos and then edit them to make them awesome. The updated Photos App of Windows 10 is the perfect tool to do the latter. With the updated Photos App, users of Windows 10 can trim photos and video clips and add background music and filter effects to them. The best thing is that once you select the clips or photos, the Video Remix feature of the app will do this for you by itself. As if that wasn’t enough, the update app allows you to add 3D overlays and affix them to items in the video. Finally, there is an option to create a slow-motion video.
Mixed Reality
This second update to the Windows 10 has caught the eye of many people and there’s good reason for it. One of the best new features in the updated Windows 10, Mixed Reality is an update worth mentioning. After you create them in Paint 3D, you can view 3D objects by using the Mixed Reality Viewer. Setting up this app is rather easy. You just need to launch the Mixed Reality Portal app and then run it on your PC.
Eye Control
A notable update to the Windows 10 this years is feature called ‘Eye Control’. As of now, this feature is an input method for users who cannot move their hand or arms optimally. A truly enthralling feature, Eye Control gives Windows 10 users the opportunity to control their PCs using just their eyes. However, they will need to get a hardware available exclusively at Tobii. With this feature, you can select items on screen, scroll around and even type using an ‘eye keyboard’ that supports writing. In short, Eye Control is an incredible technology that you can’t afford to ignore or miss.
OneDrive Files On-Demand
To save local hard drive space, you no longer need to choose the OneDrive folders to sync in. With OneDrive Files On-Demand, everything will be available to you in File Explorer, and if doesn’t show-up on your PC, it can be downloaded on-demand.

This is the name of an actual feature in the updated Windows 10. With this feature, Windows 10 users can easily open documents and sites that they were earlier flicking through on their smart phone. Users can continue with the work that they left on their PC on the smart phone with this help of this feature and the Cortana app.

With this update, you can expect a more adaptive, imaginative, engaging, coherent, eloquent, cinematic and articulate design on Windows 10.
