Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809): All the new features and changes

jmke · 5th October 2018, 18:00

Windows 10’s October 2018 Update (version 1809) — codenamed Redstone 5 — will be the sixth major release of the operating system set to deliver new features and enhancements. It’s also the second update part of the semi-annual rollout, and even though, we’re still a few days away from the final release, thanks to the previews that Microsoft has been making available in the Windows Insider Program, we now have a more clear picture of what to expect.

in this new version, Windows 10 introduces a new dark theme for File Explorer and context menu that you can enable using the “Colors” page in the “Personalization” section of the Settings app.

if you value your privacy, don't turn on clipboard history. It will also keep in the history any passwords you might have copied from password managers

I disable everything in the Privacy menu, except Microphone. Microphone is blocked even in the desktop version of Skype this way, and I need it sometimes.

Never had the "data deletion" issue and I have installed it on five machines so far (AMD, Intel, mobile CPUs and desktop CPUs).
