Microsofts first big feature update for Windows 10,the Anniversary Update, is out today.

Now its getting even smarter.

you’ve got the option to also mirror notifications from any other app you want.

Youll can find instructions on how toget Cortana set up here.

Cortana on the desktop can also talk to your phone.

you’re free to even ring it remotely right from your desktop.

Microsoft plans to add more commands over time, so keep an eye on this feature in the future.

It was one of the most underrated and overdue features of Windows 10.

Now, its getting even better.

Best of all, you’re able to now pin windows so they appear onalldesktops.

This is extremely handy for things like messaging or chat apps.

In the Anniversary Update, its getting integrated with the system calendar in the taskbar.

Below that, however, youll see an agenda of all your events for the day.

you might also add events to your calendar from this panel.

tap the plus sign at the top of the Agenda view and the Calendar app will open.

Add an event name, time, and location.

This panel already has Quick Actions to jump to controls or activate features like Quiet Hours.

To customize Quick Actions, head to configs > System > Notifications and Actions.

At the top of the window youll see an array of Quick Action tiles.

You also have finer control over how notifications show up in the Action Center.

Scroll down on the same screen and youll find a list of apps.

If you want to tweak how an app delivers notifications, this is the place to do it.

Outside of these hours, Windows will still detect whether youre using your machine before updating.

Now you’ve got the option to protect your productive hours.

After youve installed the Anniversary Update, its a simple tweaks switch:

kick off the tweaks app.

Select Colors from the left-side navigation panel.

Scroll down to Choose your app mode.

The change should take effect immediately.

Youll now see the dark theme on any app that supports it.

The Anniversary Update releases you from your terminal prison.

Now you’re free to set up the Bash shell.

The Bash shell comes from a joint effort between Microsoft and Ubuntu developer Canonical.

it’s possible for you to even use apt-get to download binaries.

While itshad a promising start, it was still missing some key promised features like extensions.

In the Anniversary update, that finally gets fixed.

For starters, Microsoft Edge finally has extensions!

A whopping…thirteen of them.

Edge is also finally getting the coveted click-to-play Flash feature that Firefox and Chrome users have grown used to.

Power users who like pinned tabs should also feel a bit more at home.

you could now pin certain tabs in Edge so theyll take up less space in the tab bar.

Finally, Microsoft has also added support for web notifications.

Some sites now ask if they can push notifications directly to your desktop when you first visit the site.

When you do, theyll appear in the notification center built right into Windows.

These include Windows or Android phones, but it also extends to wearables likeMicrosofts own fitness tracker.

Simply approve it and youre in.
