The new Windows 10 Insider Build 17074 also includes Spectre and Meltdown mitigations for Windows 10 Insiders.
Microsoft fittingly released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17074 in the late hours of a recent Thursday afternoon. The new build adds improvements to Quiet Hours, which will automatically dial down notifications, as well as a host of other improvements such as autofilling forms in Microsoft Edge.
As might be expected, Microsoft’s first Insider build of 2018 is a large one. Though the majority of changes might be classified as cosmetic rather than substantive, one of the most significant areas of improvements includes ebooks, whose interface now is both more user-friendly and consistent.
It’s also worth noting that, while Microsoft has reportedly rolled out mitigations for the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in its January rollup updates, this new patch also includes (possibly new) mitigations to protect Windows Insiders from both vulnerabilities.
We’ve compiled the top five features of the new Windows 10 Insider Build 17074qq:
1. QUIET HOURS ALLOWS FOR UNINTERRUPTED WORK, GAMES
One of the most noteworthy features of the new build is an improved version of Quiet Hours, which you can program as a (well, almost) Do Not Disturb feature. While Quiet Hours is on, you won’t receive as many notifications as you might otherwise, and they’ll be restricted to your most noteworthy people and apps.
