Disponibile la nuova build (20241) 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 la 20H2 disponibile nel ramo Beta Channel).

La nuova Build di Windows 10 in fase di rilascio per gli utenti Insider viene identificata dal numero 20241 e implementa le seguenti novità:

Introducing theme-aware splash screens for apps

Building on theme-aware tiles in Start, we’re introducing theme-aware splash screens for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Now, when an eligible UWP app is launched, the splash screen color will match your default app mode. For example, if you have light theme turned on, you’ll see a light theme splash screen, and if you have dark theme turned on (for the “default app mode”) then you’ll see a dark theme splash screen.

Settings app splash screen before and after in light theme:

The following apps support theme-aware splash screens today:

• Settings
• Store
• Windows Security
• Alarms & Clock
• Calculator
• Maps
• Voice Recorder
• Groove
• Movies & TV
• Snip & Sketch
• Microsoft ToDo
• Office
• Feedback Hub
• Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Over time, more apps will be updated via the Store to support having a theme-aware splash screen.

This feature is rolling out to a subset of Insiders in the Dev Channel at first to help us quickly identify issues that may impact performance and reliability. Rest assured they will be gradually rolling out to everyone in the Dev Channel. 

Enhancing your defrag experience

We’re making a few changes to the Optimize Drives page (Settings > System > Storage > Optimize Drives), including:

• Adding a new “Advanced View” checkbox to list all volumes including hidden volumes. Please note we’re still getting this one up and running, so you’ll see the checkbox in this build, but may not notice any differences when you click it.
• Listing more details in the “Current status” column when volumes are not available for defrag (for example, “Partition type not supported” and “File system type not supported”).
• Adding support for pressing F5 to refresh.

Updates for developers

The Windows SDK is now flighting continuously with the Dev Channel. Whenever a new OS build is flighted to the Dev Channel, the corresponding SDK will also be flighted. You can always install the latest Insider SDK from aka.ms/InsiderSDK. SDK flights will be archived in Flight Hub along with OS flights.

Changes and Improvements

• To help ensure Narrator users are aware of notifications on the screen, if a high priority notification appears while the computer is locked and stays on the screen, we will now also read it out when unlocking your PC and not just at arrival time.
