If you’re a long-time Microsoft watcher, you probably know that third-party market research firms put Windows 10 at approximately 20 percent market share, which is quite good for an operating system launched approximately 13 months ago. A previous complaint was regarding millions of webcams that no longer work with it. Microsoft is now working on an update to fix the issue, while users can make do with the alternative fixes.
The new version of Get Started includes new videos that help users discover new features available in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, such as Cortana, Windows Ink, Microsoft Edge and support for extensions, the new Action Center, and the improved Windows Store. Background Music will be available to users from the US, Australia, New Zealand, but in the near future, Pandora will be expanded to other territories. As a result, players can choose to listen to music while they play games or open other apps. Once the background music is playing on the Xbox One, double-tap the Home button to reveal the guide that will let you adjust and switch songs instantly. With no specific release date, the simple music player is an easy choice for most.
