Some of the features will increase your productivity and some of them will help you use the computer more.

Dark Theme for File Explorer

Although the Windows 10 interface is pretty good and has no clutter. It often creates problems while working in the low light area. If you use File Explorer a lot, you might face problems regarding eye strain and so on.

Sets

This is probably the most innovative feature out there, which is already being used by thousands of Windows Insider users. Sets help you create a tabbed window. Let’s assume that you have opened five windows of File Explorer. In Windows 10 v1809 or older version, you can find five different windows of File Explorer. However, Sets helps you bring all those opened windows together. The best thing is you can consolidate different apps as well. That implies there will be a common window which will contain all the apps and you can switch from one app to another by clicking the corresponding tab window.

Cloud Clipboard Sync

Everything is getting online, and you are about to find a new feature that will let you synchronize your clipboard across multiple devices. If you have used same Microsoft account on multiple Windows 10 computers, it would be possible to check out the cut-copy materials on more than one devices. This is quite easy and not much time consuming as well to set up. There is a simple setting in Windows 10 Settings that you need enable.

Search with Bing in Notepad

Let’s assume that you are using the inbuilt Notepad app and you do not understand a few words. Instead of search for their meaning after opening any browser, you can use this functionality. This is called Search with Bing, and it helps you search for the word in Bing search engine. That option can be found in Edit > Search with Bing.
