What's in the Update?
Windows Help & Advice|June 2017

The Creators Update is packed with new features, new apps, new toys, and plenty to make Windows 10 more awesome than it was before...

What's in the Update?

When the Creators Update lands, you may not immediately notice the difference. It doesn’t make any massive changes to the Windows interface, unlike the forthcoming Neon update, which is due to tweak the look of the desktop significantly. Dig around the Start menu, though, and you’ll find a few cool new apps.

New dimensions

As you might expect, given the update’s name, Microsoft is seeking to enhance your creative possibilities. You’ll find new app Paint 3D sitting alongside its 2D cousin, and while it’s possibly of limited usefulness for most of us, it’s a great way to play with 3D objects and provides a stack more artistic tools than you’ll find in the basic Paint.
