Windows 10 Creators Update will be officially released on April 11th. In a post on the company’s official blog, Microsoft announced the release date of a new update to its latest operating system.
For the Redmond-based company, this is a very important step: about a year after the release of the Anniversary Update, Windows 10 integrates all the new features already shown at the presentation event last October. With the Creators Update, users will be able to take advantage of Beam, a new dedicated video game platform, where they will be able to share games and show live streams of their challenges, as is already the case on Twitch. Furthermore, Creators Update is taking a decisive step towards mixed reality, a true testing ground for the future of the Redmond company.
But that’s not all: in fact, Microsoft has also improved its new Edge browser to make it faster and more secure. For parents, on the other hand, there are new parental controls settings that offer the ability to restrict their children’s use of a Windows 10 device or Xbox One console. Here’s what’s new in Windows 10 Creators Update.
Windows 10 Creators Update: release date and features

The official release of Windows 10 Creators Update will officially start on April 11, but it will not happen at the same time for all users. Microsoft will use the classic timed technique: within a few weeks, all users will receive the update and be able to install it on their device.
How to download Windows 10 Creators Update
If you’re wondering how to download Windows 10 Creators Update, the answer is very simple: you don’t need to do anything. In fact, Creators Update will be downloaded automatically from Microsoft Update, the platform inside your computer that downloads all updates for programs developed by the Redmond company. After receiving the update, the user can decide how and when to install it. Upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update is free.
New Features in Windows 10 Creators Update: Paint 3D
Limiting our creativity to just two dimensions can be a problem for anyone working in the digital world. Therefore, Microsoft has decided to focus its efforts on introducing to Windows 10 a new program dedicated exclusively to three-dimensional objects: Paint 3D. The historical program of the Redmond company changes its face and becomes a very useful software for working in three dimensions and giving free rein to all your creativity. Over the next few years, the 3D printer sector will grow by 62%, becoming one of the pillars of the digital economy. And Microsoft doesn’t want to be unprepared. Paint 3D is just the first step towards a different future.
The new Microsoft program will also be one of the applications in the new mixed reality viewers that Microsoft is developing with Asus, HP, Dell and Lenovo. Compared to competitors who decided to invest in virtual reality, Microsoft made a different choice and opted for mixed reality. The first devices will be available at the end of 2017 for $ 299 and will feature many new applications developed by the Redmond-based company specifically for the new headsets.
Gaming platform: Beam
The gaming sector will become increasingly important in Microsoft’s future. And the proof comes directly from Beam, a platform developed by the Redmond-based company that allows users to broadcast their challenges live. The goal is to take over the Twitch throne as the most popular platform to chat with other players around the world. The platform will be integrated directly into the Xbox One console and Windows 10 PCs. Having one environment in which to chat with friends, even when using a different device, can be one of Beam’s strengths.
A new “game mode” will be added to Windows 10 Creators Update, which will allow users to configure their PC in the best possible way according to the game’s requirements.
Microsoft Edge, even safer and faster
Microsoft Edge, the browser that has replaced Internet Explorer, will also see some interesting news. According to data provided directly by the Redmond-based company, Microsoft Edge is to be faster than Google Chrome, and at the same time protect users from malware attacks and phishing. On the front of the notebook, it will provide an additional hour and a half of battery life. In addition, a number of new card management features have been introduced that will allow users to work faster and streamline viewing of video content.
Parental controls enhanced
Parental controls have been improved in Windows 10 Creators Update. Parents will be able to monitor their children’s activities and decide how long they use the PC or Xbox One console. User health is always at the heart of Microsoft’s plans. For this reason, a new “Night” mode has been developed which will allow users to avoid eye strain when using the computer at night. The new function is aimed primarily at night owls and people who also use smartphones at night.
User support
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is the most secure operating system on the market and has been chosen by many companies to protect their employees from malware and ransomware attacks. With the update to Windows 10 Creators Update, the Redmond company introduced a new tool to protect users from attacks: Windows Defender Security Center. Within one platform, you can control all antivirus, firewall and device health related settings. In addition, the user will have much more control over everything related to the permissions required by the programs installed on the computer.
In addition to user safety, Microsoft also took care of privacy. Users will be able to control various operating system settings at any time and choose what they want to share with others and what they want to keep for themselves.
Surface Book and Surface Studio available in new markets
In addition to announcing the launch of the Windows 10 Creators Upgrade, Microsoft also announced the launch of Surface Book and Surface Studio in new markets. After its unveiling last October, Surface Studio will be available for order in Australia, Canada and New Zealand, while the Surface Book will be available for purchase from April 20 in Austria, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Great Britain.
