Windows 10 Insider Preview Build Features
As expected, the new update added some excellent features to the operating system. Below, we have listed some of the awesome features of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21364. Let’s check out.
Run Linux GUI Applications directly
With this build, users can run the Linux applications directly on the operating system using the first preview of GUI app support. This means that you can run your favorite GUI editors, Linux tools, and applications to build and run your Linux apps.
Microsoft Edge Process Classification
Previously, to check Microsoft Edge’s processes, you need to open the Task manager of the web browser. However, the build allows users to expand the main Microsoft Edge process right from the Windows task manager. You can check Microsoft Edge’s active processes from the system task manager itself.
Eco Mode
The Eco Mode is another experimental feature seen on Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21364. This task manager feature provides users an option to throttle process resources. If any app is consuming high resources, you can throttle the process with the new Eco mode.
Japanese Keyboard
Windows 10 Insider Preview Bild 21364 also introduced a new touch keyboard layout for Japanese users. The new keyboard replicates the keyboard’s design used in Japan’s Kiosks devices.
Night light
