Windows Defender Application Guard has a new user interface inside Windows Security that lets standalone users install and configure their settings without having to change Registry keys, while users who are managed by enterprise policies can check their settings to see what their administrators have configured for their machines. To try it, set up a shared or guest PC with Windows 10, set the CSP/Authentication/EnableFastFirstSignIn policy, and sign into the PC with your account.

Speaking of signing in, Microsoft has also introduced Fast Sign-in, which enables users to sign into a shared Windows 10 PC faster than ever before. To try out Web Sign-in, Azure AD Join your Windows 10 PC, set the CSP/Authentication/EnableWebSignIn policy, select Web Sign-in under Sign-in options on the lock screen, and click the “Sign in” button. Until now, Windows logon only supported the use of identities federated to ADFS or other providers that support the WS-Fed protocol.

Web Sign-in is a new way of signing into your Windows PC. Just bring up Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe), type the name of the computer to which you want to connect, click Connect, and if you signed in using Windows Hello for Business, you’ll be given the option to use it again (click “More choices” to choose alternate credentials). As for bug fixes, the arrow keys now correctly unselect text first and then move the cursor, saving a file in Notepad no longer resets the line and column numbers to 1, and display lines that don’t fit entirely on the screen are properly displayed.Īzure Active Directory and Active Directory users using Windows Hello for Business can now use biometrics to authenticate a remote desktop session. Additionally, you can now see line and column numbers when word-wrap is enabled, performance has been improved when opening large files, and Ctrl + Backspace now deletes the previous word. Notepad now also has options for zooming text (View => Zoom, or use Ctrl + Plus, Ctrl + Minus, and Ctrl + MouseWheel). Notepad has gained find/replace improvements: an option to do wrap-around find/replace, remembering previously entered values/state of checkboxes, and automatically populating the find dialog with text selected.
