MICROSOFT Corp. recently announced that the “Windows 10 Creators Update” is now available in the Philippines. The update is the third major release for Windows 10, the company said in a statement.
The company added that the update’s new features include 3D, mixed reality, enhanced apps, improved security and 4K gaming.
According to the company, the update allows Windows 10 users to print, create and share in 3D via the new Paint 3D application. The update also tweaked the firm’s browser called “Edge”, according to Microsoft.
Citing an NSS Labs 2016 Web Browser Security Comparative Reports, Microsoft said Edge blocks 9 percent more phishing sites and 13 percent more malware than Chrome, helping to protect user identity and information. Microsoft also claims that “Edge is up to 24 percent to 43 percent more efficient than the competition for general purpose browsing, and lasts up to 23 percent to 69 percent longer when streaming videos.”
According to Microsoft, the update also brings more extensions to Edge, such as Ebates, Read & Write, Ghostery and RoboForm, among others.
The company said the update also allows users to broadcast their gameplay on Windows 10 and Xbox One via a built-in broadcasting technology. Through this technology, Microsoft said viewers can influence the gameplay, or interact with the stream while it’s taking place.
Also built into the Windows 10 Creators Update is “Game Mode”, a new platform feature that dedicates more graphics and processor resources to PC games.
