We're actively working to develop a secure extension model to make the safest and most reliable browser for our customers, and look forward to sharing more in a future Windows 10 update in 2016. We're committed to providing customers with a personalized web experience, which is why bringing extensions to Microsoft Edge continues to be a high priority. Zac Bowden at WinBeta quotes a Microsoft representative as saying: Of course, Edge still isn't usable for many of us because it doesn't support extensions - and we won't get that feature until next year. Be still my beating heart.Īul also posts a list of known issues: Pop-up notifications lower the background volume by 75 percent for an extended period of time Skype messages and contacts are gone, but there's a workaround tiny tablets that boot while rotated may blue screen, and roll back to the earlier build the power button on the Surface Pro 3 doesn't work right and WebM and VP9 codecs are still missing in Edge, as they were in build 10565. Search works in regions where Cortana doesn't.Īll of which sound like a bunch of bug fixes. Windows now generates missed call notifications, and lets you send text messages from Cortana.If you want to experiment, remember that you have to run a build 10576 VM inside build 10576 - which is hard to do without ISO files. You can now run Hyper-V containers inside Hyper-V machines.It no longer grabs gigabytes of memory to handle Win32 games. The Metro Xbox "beta" app in Win10 works better.You can highlight text in a PDF being viewed in Edge: Right-click, and choose "Ask Cortana" to bring up a Cortana search, along with an offer to search using Bing.

I have no idea why it’s being heralded now, unless Aul encountered the blogging equivalent of a slow news day. Builds 1057 both had Miracast support in Edge, although it didn’t work very well. Which is puzzling, because Windows 10 has had Miracast support since day 1 (Windows key + P). Gabe Aul’s Windows blog entry for the build emphasizes that the Microsoft Edge browser works with Microsoft’s Miracast. In fact, the changes in build 10576 are so tiny you may miss them entirely. While rumors are swirling that this may be The Chosen One, a closer look shows this build - while on the way to RTM land - hasn't quite arrived. Yesterday afternoon Microsoft released its latest Fast Ring version of Windows 10, build 10576.
