Colorful update
Even though Microsoft released Windows 10 to the public on July 29, more features and changes are expected. That's how it goes with the new Windows-as-a-Service (Waas) model, and to ensure that Windows 10 remains an experience that people will enjoy, Microsoft is continuing to dole out preview builds to Windows Insiders.
"Feedback from Windows Insiders not only helps us build Windows 10 – it also helps us shape how we run the program. For example, Windows Insiders have asked us to improve the flighting cadence and to keep the Windows Feedback app in the product – which we have done. We’re also evaluating the Windows Insider rings, and considering whether we should make changes there," Microsoft stated in a blog post.
Microsoft said it received a lot of feedback on the default color for Start, Action Center, Taskbar, and Title bars, so that's something it addressed in the first new preview build (10525) since Windows 10 launched. To play with the new color options, you need to go to Settings > Personalization > Colors.
Build 10525 also includes Memory Manager improvements. One of those improvements is a new concept called a compression store, which is an in-memory collection of compressed pages. This allows the Memory Manager to compress unused pages instead of writing them to disk when the need arises. According to Microsoft, this will result in better responsiveness across all of Windows 10.
Being a preview build, there are some known issues. Mobile hotspot doesn't work, and an update to the Movies & TV app from the Windows Store will need to be applied to fix an issue with video playback. Microsoft also said that optional language packs won't be available until later this week.
Windows Insiders who have been running preview builds will receive the update automatically. If you want to join the fray, you can opt into the program by going to the Settings app > Update & Security > Advanced options under "Get Insider Builds."
