Here are a few other ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Notification enhancements<\/strong>:\u00a0Windows 10\u2019s notifications now include an application logo so you can easily see which application generated them and an \u201cx\u201d button so you can quickly dismiss them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Default taskbar icon tweaks<\/strong>: In a minor change, Windows 10 will adjust the default taskbar icon layout depending on what you use your PC for. If you link an Android phone during setup, you\u2019ll see a Your Phone icon on the taskbar. If you have an Xbox Live account and you\u2019re using a gaming PC, you\u2019ll see an Xbox icon on the taskbar. You can still add or remove whatever icons you like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modern Device Management (MDM) improvements<\/strong>: For IT professionals administering multiple devices, Microsoft is extending Modern Device Management policy with new \u201cLocal Users and Groups\u201d settings that matches the options available for devices managed through Group Policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As usual, Microsoft also fixed a wide variety of smaller performance and stability issues under the hood.<\/p>\n<p>More features are arriving in Windows 10\u2019s 21H1 update, arriving sometime in Spring 2021.
