每年10 月，Microsoft^{(October Microsoft)}都会发布 Windows 的重大更新，（希望）修复最大的错误和抱怨，同时还为这个 OS-as-a-service 产品带来新功能。

虽然 2018 年“1809 ”更新^{(” update)}存在不少问题，导致延迟两个月^{(month delay)}，但现在应该可以通过常规更新服务获得。

如果您已经在运行 1809 或只是期待它，这里有一些您可以期待在最新 Windows 版本中的功能亮点。

最后，Explorer 的黑暗模式！

微软^(Microsoft)在之前的更新中已经提供了深色主题^{(Dark theme)}，但不幸的是Windows 资源管理器^{(Windows Explorer)}本身保留了其白色背景。

如今，黑暗^(Dark)模式和主题几乎无处不在。它们不仅使屏幕在黑暗中更易于阅读，还降低了屏幕功耗^{(power consumption)}。最重要的是，它们看起来很酷。

为Windows 应用^{(Windows apps)}启用深色模式^{(Dark mode)}再简单不过了。首先进入设置——个性化——颜色。 ^{(Go to Settings – Personalization – Colors. )}

现在向下滚动到窗口底部。

在默认应用模式下^{(Default App Mode)} 选择深色。^{(Dark. )}现在 Windows资源管理器^(Explorer)将具有深色背景^{(dark background)}，您的眼睛会感谢您。

截图和草图截图工具

与以前的版本相比，Windows 10 对开箱即用的屏幕截图编辑提供了更好的支持。然而，可用的工具有点分散，随着 1809 更新，现在有一个工具可以统治（和替换）它们。截图和草图^{(Snip and Sketch)}工具。

您可以在所有其他应用程序中找到此工具，或者只需在“开始”菜单搜索^{(Start Menu search)}栏中输入其名称即可。有了它，您可以轻松捕获和编辑屏幕截图。

安卓用户的手机应用

不管你喜不喜欢，智能手机现在已成为几乎每个人日常生活的一部分。因此，Microsoft^{(So Microsoft)}决定使用名为Your Phone的新应用程序将^{(Your Phone)}Android手机集成到Windows 桌面^{(Windows Desktop)}中。

没有迹象表明何时或是否会完全支持其他手机操作系统，但如果您拥有^(OSes)Android 智能手机^{(Android smartphone)}，您现在可以发送文本和查看照片^{(texts and view photos)}。还有一些有限的 iOS 功能。专门将网页从您的 iPhone 发送到Windows。

您可以在其他Windows 应用^{(Windows apps)}程序中找到该应用程序。最快的访问方式是在“开始”菜单^{(Start Menu)}中搜索“您的手机” 。

要链接您的手机，只需单击“开始使用”^{(“Get Started” )}并按照提示操作。然后在此处输入您的号码^{(enter your number)}。

输入您的号码并点击 发送^( Send)。您应该会收到一条带有指向您的手机伴侣应用程序^{(Your Phone Companion app)}链接的文本。安装它然后打开它。^{( Install it and then open it.)}

现在您只需使用您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录即可完成链接。

现在您可以开始在手机和 Windows 桌面^{(phone and Windows desktop)}之间共享内容了。

开始菜单搜索升级

开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}中的搜索功能已大大扩展。现在，当您搜索某些内容时，您会看到几个标签来对结果进行分类。还有更多相关的网络搜索结果，包括下载或安装应用程序的快捷方式。

搜索本身现在也快得多，同时出现“开始”菜单^{(Start Menu)}本身。

增压^{(Supercharged)}的、云驱动的剪贴板^{(Cloud-powered Clipboard)}

不起眼的剪贴板^(Clipboard)也进行了大修。现在，当您将某些内容复制到剪贴板^(Clipboard)时，您可以做的不仅仅是将其粘贴到某处。

例如，您现在可以通过激活剪贴板历史记录^{(Clipboard History)}来堆叠您复制的项目。如果您按Windows+V ，那么您可以看到该历史记录并选择您要粘贴的项目。

您还可以选择将剪贴板数据同步到云端，然后再同步到您的其他设备。

窗户，重新加载

今天的Windows 10已经比最初推出时更加成熟和精致。尽管起步艰难，但 1809 更新为系统带来了一些真正有用且受欢迎的变化。享受！

The 5 Best New Features in Windows 10’s 1809 Update

Eνery October Microsoft relеаses a major update to Windows that (hopefully) fixes the biggest bugѕ and gripes, while also bringing new features into this OS-as-a-service product.

While there were quite a few problems with the 2018 “1809” update that caused a two month delay, it should now be available through the regular update service.

If you’re already running 1809 or are just looking forward to it, here are some feature highlights you can look forward to in the newest Windows version.

Finally, Dark Mode for Explorer!

Microsoft already provided a Dark theme in a previous update, but unfortunately Windows Explorer itself retained its white background.

Dark modes and themes are pretty much everywhere these days. Not only do they make screens easier to read in the dark, they reduce screen power consumption. Most importantly, they look pretty cool to boot.

Enabling Dark mode for Windows apps couldn’t be easier. First Go to Settings – Personalization – Colors. 

Now scroll down to the bottom of the window.

Under Default App Mode choose Dark. Now Windows Explorer will have a dark background and your eyes will thank you.

The Snip & Sketch Screenshot Tool

Windows 10 had much better support for screenshot editing out of the box than previous versions. However, the tools available were a little fragmented and with the 1809 update there is now one tool to rule (and replace) them all. The Snip and Sketch tool.

You can find this tool with all your other apps or by simply typing its name in the Start Menu search bar. With it you can easily capture and edit screenshots with ease.

Your Phone App for Android Users

Like it or not, smartphones are now a part of almost everyone’s daily life. So Microsoft has decided to integrate Android phones into the Windows Desktop using a new application known as Your Phone.

There is no indication when or if other phone OSes will ever be fully supported, but if you have an Android smartphone you can now send texts and view photos. There are also some limited iOS functions. Specifically sending web pages from your iPhone to Windows.

You can find the app among your other Windows apps. The fastest way to access is is by searching for “Your Phone” it in the Start Menu.

To link your phone, just click “Get Started” and follow the prompts. Then enter your number here.

Enter your number and click Send. You should receive a text with a link to the Your Phone Companion app. Install it and then open it.

Now you just need to sign in with your Microsoft account to complete the link.

Now you’re ready to start sharing content between your phone and Windows desktop.

Start Menu Search Upgrades

The search functions in the Start Menu have been expanded substantially. Now when you search for something you’ll see several tabs to categorize the results. There are also more relevant web results, with shortcuts to download or install an app.

The search itself is also now much faster, coming up at the same time it takes for the Start Menu itself to appear.

The Supercharged, Cloud-powered Clipboard

The humble Clipboard has also received a major overhaul. Now when you copy something to the Clipboard there are more things you can do than just paste it somewhere.

For example,you can now stack your copied items by activating the Clipboard History. If you press Windows+V then you can see that history and pick the item you want to paste.

You can also choose to sync clipboard data to the cloud and then to you other devices.

Windows, Reloaded

The Windows 10 of today is already much more mature and refined than when it first launched. Despite a rough start, the 1809 update has brought some truly useful and welcome changes to the system. Enjoy!
