The format will allow you to read unprotected Ebook in Edge browser without hassles. Moreover, you can choose between different themes, change the font and text size or search for words/phrases using Cortana.
Beginning with this build, the Paint 3D Preview app will be made as an integral part of Windows 10. Opening Paint from Start will now direct you automatically to the Paint 3D Preview app. Currently, Paint 3D Preview is only available in English.
It replaces Command Prompt that appears in the WIN + X and other menus that appear when you shift-right-click the whitespace in File Explorer will be replaced by Powershell.

Apart from the above, the new build also brings some minor changes to the Office applications and other Windows 10 components like the removal of the Snooze option. A solution to completely remove files from the Windows.old folder using Disk Cleanup. Earlier, a minor glitch resulted in an inability to completely remove files from the folder.

Microsoft has also made important translation improvements by fixing some translation error in the dialog that appears when installing multiple fonts at once. For a complete list of changes and improvements, see this blog post.
