Microsoft Releases New Windows 10 Preview with a Notification Center

Microsoft released its First Windows 10 Technical Review just three weeks ago, and the software maker is now ready to issue a fresh update. If you’re already testing Windows 10, then a new preview build (9860) is available from the update and recovery section of PC Settings. While the initial release included a new Start menu, virtual desktops, new snap views, and an overall focus on the desktop, the latest test build refines a few features as Microsoft continues to develop Windows 10. Microsoft says it has made nearly 7,000 changes to this latest Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Action Center (Notification Center) is a new addition in build 9860, available in the system tray. We got an early look at Action Center thanks to a video leak in September and it looks very similar in today’s latest Windows 10 Technical Preview. The Windows 10 Action Center collects toast and alerts from traditional Windows applications and system notifications, alongside those generated from Windows 8-style apps. Toast and notifications are then grouped in the Action Center by app and time. The Action Center in Windows 10 lacks any actionable notifications right now, meaning you can’t reply to messages within the feature itself. That could change by the time Windows 10 ships next year, especially as Microsoft works to tweak the user interface more and more.
