6 features to expect in the next Windows 10 update from Insider Build 17083

Windows 10’s Insider Build 17083 offers big hints of what’s to come, from fonts to Timeline tweaks and more.

Microsoft appears to be gearing up for the next big Windows 10 update, after releasing Windows 10 Insider Build 17083. Codenamed “Redstone 4,” the next release is expected in the spring.

Microsoft has made several tweaks to the operating system with this build, including a revamp of font management and how a user’s history is treated within the Timeline feature. Conspicuously absent is the Sets feature ( go. pcworld.com/sets), an intriguing tabbed UI that essentially replaces separate windows with a browser-like interface. Microsoft had warned previously that Sets would take months to deploy—a final release is expected at the end of 2018, or even later—so the removal of Sets was planned.
