Top apps make places in Search

Windows Search will show Top apps that allows getting quick access to the applications that you use the most. You don’t require typing.

The enhancement in Search is rolling out server-side, so you may view it outside the bounds. Stay tuned for more improvements.

Use Desktop or Win32 apps in Windows Mixed Reality

From the current build, you can open Win32 applications in Windows Mixed Reality, similar to how you launch Store apps. These apps may be Paint.NET, Spotify, and Visual Studio Code and other. However, you find bugs in this development because of its starting phase.

To use this change, raise Pins Panel, then navigate to all apps, where you will see a folder named Classic Apps (Beta). You will be capable of choosing and launching any Win32 applications in this folder.

If you like to see a specific email in light mode, locate the sunshine icon in the command bar saying turn on the lights. Then you will be able to view the email with a white background. This setting will help when a particular email is not formatted properly for Dark mode.

The build comes up with Default fonts feature. Now you can customize the look and appearance of messages. If you compose a new mail or reply to an existing one, the text you type will be in the font face, size, color, and emphasis you have selected. To change the default font, travel settings and select Default font. The customization applies per-account and does not roam to other devices.
