Microsoft initially launched the new update to Windows Insiders in the United States. However, we are seeing reports that people in other regions are also getting the bump. That means it is likely to be rolling out to all users, but we’ll keep an eye on the situation. As mentioned, the focus of the update is creating a more seamless user interface. Part of Microsoft’s plans with Windows 10 is to create a connected ecosystem. To that end, Cortana now has direct links to Settings, Documents, Photos, Web, and other services. MSpoweruser also points to a new group of options that appear when searching. It is worth noting that to get this update you just need to sit back and relax.
