Microsoft has confirmed the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14352, which will bring a number of new features and bug fixes.

Here are some of the features that have been introduced in the new build.

Improvements to Cortana

Cortana can now be used for playing any song in the Groove Music Catalog. Customers who have a Groove Music Pass can just ask the intelligent personal assistant to play their favorite genre, artist, song or playlist.

The latest Windows 10 build will allow users to set timers, check the time left and also cancel them using Cortana.

Windows Ink

Sticky Notes will be better now as users can use notes for creating reminders for Cortana. Users can type or ink a telephone number, and the handset prepares to make a call. Writing a URL will automatically launch Microsoft Edge from the Note.

The updated Windows Ink ruler now includes a compass.

Build 14352 also brings a number of improvements to enhance the overall feel of Windows Ink based on the feedback received from users.

Other Enhancements

New File Explorer Icon: The new build brings an updated file explorer icon, which has more color compared to the older version.

Windows Game bar: Build 14352 now supports full-screen Windows Game bar. Microsoft suggests that this feature has been requested by many gamers. The company says that six games will support full-screen mode with Windows Game bar: Diablo III, Counterstrike: Global Offensive, Battlefield 4, DOTA 2, World of Warcraft and Leagues of Legend.

Feedback hub: Windows Insiders will be able to see a status tag on feedback, which shows what Microsoft is doing with the feedback.

"The tags are a short-form way to give status on feedback we're actively working on or have made changes for," says Microsoft.

Limited Period Scanning: This new Windows 10 feature will automatically turn on when an antivirus program other than Windows Defender is working. This setting offers devices additional security. Users can enable Limited Periodic Scanning to going to Settings > Update & security > Windows Defender and turn on the feature.

Preview Build 14352 does not only come with new features, but it also brings bug fixes for the operating system, according to Microsoft's official Windows blog.
