Disponibile la nuova build (21343) di Windows 10 per gli utenti Insider | Dev Channel

Microsoft da pochi minuti ha provveduto a rilasciare una nuova build di Windows 10 relativa al nuovo ramo di sviluppo Dev Channel per gli utenti Insider.

Ricordiamo che il ramo di sviluppo Dev Channel legato a questa build riguarda una versione futura di Windows 10 non abbinate a una versione specifica di Windows 10 (come ad esempio accade nel ramo Beta Channel).

La nuova Build di Windows 10 in fase di rilascio per gli utenti Insider viene identificata dal numero 21343 e implementa nuove icone per Esplora file, miglioramenti per Windows Sandbox e Microsoft Defender Application Guard (MDAG) e altre migliorie minori:

New icons in File Explorer

We first began updating the icons in Windows 10 last year starting with the built-in apps. Since then, we have continued updating icons throughout Windows 10 including the icon for Windows Security, the Narrator icon, and most recently the icon for Notepad. Now we’re taking the next step by updating many of the system icons used throughout File Explorer.

Please note: After upgrading to this build, any custom folders pinned to Quick Access will disappear. You can either make note of them prior to updating to this build or pause updates until we get a fix in.

Several changes, such as the orientation of the folder icons and the default file type icons, have been made for greater consistency across Microsoft products that show files. Notably, the top-level user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and Pictures have a new design that should make it a little easier to tell them apart at a glance. And yes, the Recycle Bin icon has also been updated!

As you can imagine, there are a lot of icons in Windows 10 and more icons will continue to get updated over time.

Improvements to Windows Sandbox and Microsoft Defender Application Guard (MDAG)

Both Windows Sandbox and Microsoft Defender Application Guard take advantage of special container technology built into Windows 10. Previously, the container runtime matched the host. Starting with Build 21343, we are introducing a new runtime that is designed and optimized for container scenarios. It is lightweight and allows faster launch times for both Windows Sandbox and Microsoft Defender Application Guard.

We do not expect this change to affect the application compatibility inside Windows Sandbox. However, this is a significant change and users may encounter some differences in behavior.

Additionally, Windows Sandbox now includes the new Chromium based Microsoft Edge browser (as of Build 21313Build 21313). Here are instructions on how to get started with Windows Sandbox.

Changes and Improvements

• [News and interests] Update on the rollout: following our last update on languages and markets, this week we’re also introducing the experience to China! We continue to roll out news and interests to Windows Insiders, so it isn’t available to everyone in the Dev Channel just yet.

• We’ve made some updates to the network related surfaces in Windows so that the displayed symbols use the updated system icons we recently added in the Dev Channel.
• Based on feedback, if the Shared Experiences page identifies an issue with your account connection, it will now send the notifications directly into the Action Center rather than repeated notification toasts that need to be dismissed.
