适用于Windows 10的(Windows 10)2020 年 10 月(October 2020) 秋季更新(Update)（版本 20H2）已发布，并带来了一些旨在简化我们使用此操作系统的体验的新功能。虽然此更新没有像以前的更新那样提供那么多新功能，但这并不一定是件坏事。在某种程度上，它看起来更像是一个旨在提高稳定性和修复错误的服务包。您是否想了解Windows 10 2020 年10 月(October 2020)更新(Update)中的新增功能？如果您的回答是肯定的，请继续阅读：
开始菜单(Start Menu)现在具有主题感知磁贴
Windows 10 October 2020 更新(Update)中最明显的变化可能是新的开始菜单(Start Menu)。瓷砖的背景现在是部分透明的，并且与您使用的主题相匹配。换句话说，无论您在深色模式(Dark mode)还是浅色模式下(Light mode)使用 Windows 10，磁贴都应该看起来很棒。
如果你想要的话，你仍然可以在你的瓷砖上使用强调色。为此，请前往“设置”(Settings)应用的“个性化(Personalization)”部分中的“颜色(Colors)”，为 Windows 10启用深色模式，然后选中“(Dark mode)在以下表面上显示强调色("Show accent color on the following surfaces.")”下的“开始、任务栏和操作中心” 。("Start, taskbar, and action center")
Alt + Tab现在显示来自Microsoft Edge的打开选项卡(Microsoft Edge)
Alt + Tab是许多人使用的最常见的键盘快捷键之一。如果您安装了Windows 10 October 2020 更新(Update)，并且您也是Microsoft Edge的用户，那么Alt + Tab对您来说变得更加方便。这是因为Alt + Tab现在默认显示您在Microsoft Edge中打开的选项卡，这使您可以更轻松地快速跳转到所需的选项卡。
固定网站更易于使用
Microsoft Edge的另一项改进是针对那些喜欢将自己喜欢的网站（如 www.digitalcitizen.life）固定在任务栏上的人。
假设您在(Suppose)Microsoft Edge的多个选项卡中打开多个页面，并且某些选项卡来自同一个固定网站。如果您将鼠标悬停在任务栏上的固定网站上，您将只能看到包含该网站页面的选项卡。这样，您可以快速切换到您想要的那个。
可以从“设置”(Settings)应用程序配置显示器的刷新率
长期以来，您只能从旧的控制面板(Control Panel)设置显示器的刷新率。这随着Windows 10 October 2020 更新(Update)而改变。现在可以在“设置”(Settings)应用程序的“System -> Display -> Advanced display settings”中查看和更改刷新率。
系统部分不再出现在旧的控制(System)面板中(Control Panel)
在Windows 10 October 2020 更新(Update)中，微软(Microsoft)从旧的控制面板(Control Panel)中删除了系统(System)部分。它在那里不再可用，即使您单击/点击控制面板(Control Panel)中的系统(System)，该链接也会将您带到“设置”应用程序的“(Settings)关于(About)”页面。很高兴看到越来越多的基本设置和信息迁移到Settings。
平板电脑模式(Tablet Mode)默认开启
如果您的Windows 10设备可以转换为平板电脑（通过拆下键盘和鼠标），操作系统现在会自动切换到平板电脑模式(Tablet Mode)。到目前为止，此类操作会触发一个通知，询问您是否要在平板电脑(Tablet)或桌面(Desktop)模式之间切换。
不过，如果您不喜欢更改，您可以在Settings -> System -> Tablet中恢复更改。
Windows 10 通知更好一点
在Windows 10 October 2020 更新(Update)中，通知系统也得到了一些改进。现在，您从应用程序收到的通知不仅被分组在一起，而且这些通知组在其标题中具有应用程序徽标和关闭按钮，以便您可以快速查看它们的来源，以及轻松地将它们全部关闭。
此外，您在启用Focus Assist(Focus Assist)功能时曾经收到的通知现在默认被禁用。这是一个很好的改变，因为看到Focus Assist告诉你通知被禁用有点多余。🙂
Windows 10商业版和教育版的其他小改进
在2020 年 10 月(October 2020) 更新(Update)中，微软(Microsoft)还添加了一些旨在改善 IT 专业人员和商业或教育 Windows 10 版本用户体验的内容：
- (Mobile Device Management (MDM))可用于Azure AD和Microsoft 365的(Microsoft 365)移动设备管理 (MDM)附带本地用户和组策略，允许管理员使用与常规(Local Users and Groups)组策略(Group Policy)相同的选项。
- Windows Hello为指纹传感器和(Windows Hello)面部传感器(face sensors)提供了更好的登录安全性，这些传感器将在未来的某些 Windows 10 设备中提供。
- Windows 10企业(Enterprise)版的Windows Defender具有更好的应用保护，通过使用虚拟化容器增强了Microsoft 365产品和Microsoft Edge的安全性。(Microsoft Edge)
- 使用Microsoft 365 E5(Microsoft 365 E5)订阅的公司和学校的管理员可以使用Microsoft 365个性化(Microsoft 365)Microsoft Edge中的标签页。这样，学生和员工就可以直接从Microsoft Edge选项卡打开他们的文件和(Microsoft Edge)Microsoft 365应用。
您对Windows 10 October 2020 更新(Update)有何看法？
如您所见，Windows 10 2020 年10 月(October 2020) 更新并不是像(Update)2020 年 5 月更新(May 2020 Update)那样的重大升级。但是，我们得到的一些改进非常好，应该会改善整体用户体验。您喜欢新功能，还是希望从此次更新中获得更多信息？在下面的评论中让我们知道您的意见。
What's new in Windows 10 October 2020 Update?
The autumnal October 2020 Update (version 20H2) for Windows 10 is out and brings а few new things designed to streamline our experience with this operating sуstem. While this update doesn't come with as manу new fеatures as previous ones, that's not necessarily a bad thing. In a way, it looks more like a service paсk aimed at improving stability and fixіng bugs. Are you curious to find out what's new in Windows 10 Octоber 2020 Update? If your answer is positive, read on:
Start Menu now features theme-aware tiles
Probably the most visible change in Windows 10 October 2020 Update is the new Start Menu. The background of the tiles is now partially transparent and matches the theme that you use. In other words, tiles should look great regardless of whether you use Windows 10 in Dark mode or Light mode.
You can still use the accent color on your tiles if that's something you want. To do so, head to Colors in the Personalization section of the Settings app, enable the Dark mode for Windows 10, and check "Start, taskbar, and action center" under "Show accent color on the following surfaces."
Alt + Tab now shows open tabs from Microsoft Edge
Alt + Tab is one of the most common keyboard shortcuts, used by many. If you install the Windows 10 October 2020 Update, and you're also a user of Microsoft Edge, Alt + Tab just became even more convenient for you. That's because Alt + Tab now shows the tabs you have open in Microsoft Edge, by default, which makes it a lot easier for you to quickly jump to the tab you want.
Pinned websites are easier to use
Another improvement for Microsoft Edge is coming to those who like to keep their favorite websites (like www.digitalcitizen.life) pinned to the taskbar.
Suppose you open multiple pages in multiple tabs in Microsoft Edge, and some tabs are from the same pinned website. If you hover over the pinned website on your taskbar, you're going to see only the tabs with pages from that website. That way, you can quickly switch to the one you want.
Your monitor's refresh rate can be configured from the Settings app
For a long time, you could set the refresh rate for your monitor only from the old Control Panel. This changes with Windows 10 October 2020 Update. The refresh rate is now available to see and change in the Settings app, in System -> Display -> Advanced display settings.
The System section is no longer present in the old Control Panel
In Windows 10 October 2020 Update, Microsoft removed the System section from the old Control Panel. It's no longer available there, and even if you click/tap on System in Control Panel, the link takes you to the About page from the Settings app. It's nice to see that more and more essential settings and information are migrated to Settings.
Tablet Mode is switched on by default
If you have a Windows 10 device that can transform into a tablet (by detaching its keyboard and mouse), the operating system now automatically switches to Tablet Mode. Up until now, such actions triggered a notification that asked you whether you wanted to switch between Tablet or Desktop mode.
Still, you can revert the change if you don't like it in Settings -> System -> Tablet.
Windows 10 notifications are a bit better
In Windows 10 October 2020 Update, the notifications system also receives a couple of improvements. Now the notifications you receive from an app are not only grouped together, but those notification groups have app logos and close buttons in their title so that you can quickly see where they came from, as well as easily dismiss them all.
Additionally, the notifications you used to receive from the Focus Assist feature when you enabled it are now disabled by default. It's a good change considering the fact that it was kind of redundant to see Focus Assist tell you that notifications are disabled. 🙂
Other small improvements for commercial and education editions of Windows 10
In October 2020 Update, Microsoft also adds a few things that are designed to improve the experience of IT professionals and users of business or education Windows 10 editions:
- Mobile Device Management (MDM), available for Azure AD and Microsoft 365, comes with a Local Users and Groups policy that lets admins use the same options as regular Group Policy.
- Windows Hello comes with better sign-in security for fingerprint sensors and face sensors that will be available in certain future Windows 10 devices.
- The Windows Defender from Windows 10 Enterprise editions has better app protection that enhances the security of Microsoft 365 products and Microsoft Edge by using virtualized containers.
- Admins of companies and schools that use Microsoft 365 E5 subscriptions can personalize the tab page in Microsoft Edge with Microsoft 365. That way, students and employees can open their files and Microsoft 365 apps straight from Microsoft Edge tabs.
What's your opinion about Windows 10 October 2020 Update?
As you can see, the Windows 10 October 2020 Update is not a significant upgrade like May 2020 Update. However, the few improvements we get are quite nice and should improve the overall user experience. Do you like what's new, or would you have preferred to get more from this update?
