Windows 10 update: What to expect this fall

Love them or hate them, Windows 10 updates happen. It is all part and parcel of using Microsoft’s latest and greatest desktop operating system. Rather than giving us a finished OS like with Windows 7 or Windows XP, Microsoft decided to give us a constantly evolving operating system that updates every now and then.

Since it first launched, we’ve had a few Windows 10 updates already and many new features have been added to the Microsoft operating system. Now, however, we’re looking forward to the next Windows 10 update. Let’s have a look at what we can expect from the Windows 10 Fall Update.

It looks like the fall update will be called Windows 10 Redstone and that it will come with some neat new features and somewhat surprising updates.

Windows 10 Notepad update
Windows Notepad offers a bundled, much stripped down, version of word processing to all Windows users. Notepad hasn’t received any update attention from Microsoft for years, but this fall it will get some useful new features.

Text zooming is now possible and there is also an update to find/replace so that it will remember old search terms and automatically fill out the search field if you open it up while you have highlighted text. Other Notepad updates include Ctrl + Backspace to delete the previous word, improved performance on larger files, and displaying line and column numbers if requested.

Big Windows 10 Edge update
Microsoft’s new browser actually packs quite a punch. It is quick and reliable and offers a decent reading experience compared to other browsers. With the new Edge update, Microsoft is doubling down on this unique selling point. There will be a brand new built-in dictionary that includes a read-aloud feature so users can hear how words are correctly pronounced.

If you use Edge as your PDF viewer you’ll also see a host of updates when the Redstone update drops. There will be a considerable toolbar update to the toolbar making new options like Add notes much easier to access. You’ll also be able to pin/unpin the PDF toolbar and there will be far fewer rendering issues when scrolling through different pages.

Windows Biometrics update for business
In a cool update for Enterprise, The next Windows 10 update will bring with it the ability to log in remotely using biometrics. Windows Hello for business users will gain this handy new feature. A Fast Sign-in feature has also been added, which will help people using a shared or guest Windows 10 device.

Mithun Chakraborty’s son Mimoh gets married, out on bail in rape case.

Mithun Chakraborty’s son Mahaakshay Chakraborty aka Mimoh tied the knot with girlfriend Madalsa Sharma in Ooty on Tuesday. The actor earlier received bail in the rape case of a Bhojpuri actor.

It is reported that Mimoh got his marriage with southern actress Madalsa Sharma registered on July 7 after he was granted bail in the rape case, as per a report in Bombay Times. The traditional wedding ceremony took place on Tuesday afternoon at Mithun’s luxurious hotel in Ooty, Tamil Nadu.

A court in Delhi had earlier said that prima facie there are sufficient grounds for registration of an FIR against the actor’s wife and son, and to proceed further in accordance with the law. Following the order, Mahaakshay and his mother approached the Bombay High Court seeking anticipatory bail or an interim relief from arrest till the time they approached the concerned court in the national capital.

However, the court dismissed the pleas and refused to grant them any interim relief and said the duo could approach the court concerned in Delhi.

In her plea, the complainant had alleged that Mahaakshay had cheated and raped her after being in physical relation with her for around four years on the pretext of marriage. The woman alleged that when she became pregnant, Mahaakshay had given her some medicine which led to an abortion.

In her complaint, she claimed that Yogeeta Bali had threatened her of dire consequences if she continued the relationship. The complainant also said she moved to Delhi from Mumbai as she feared for her life in view of threats made by Bali and her son.

Anushka Sharma becomes the first Indian to get a talking statue at Madame Tussauds

Anushka Sharma is riding high on success after she produced three films in three different genres: NH10, Phillauri and Pari. Not only she has established herself as a mainstream Bollywood actress but also has opened the gates of new avenues for different genre of films by foraying into film production. It was this year itself that Anushka got featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2018 list. There’s another good news coming her way as the actress is getting a unique interactive figurine at the coveted Madame Tussauds museum in Singapore.

“Yes, it’s true that the wax museum is set to unveil an interactive statue of Anushka. Madame Tussauds is extremely selective when it comes to zeroing in on the personalities that gets a unique interactive feature. Thanks to the special figurine, she joins the list of illustrious global icons such as Oprah Winfrey, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lewis Hamilton who also have their interactive sets at the Singapore museum,” says an insider.

“In fact, hers will be the first wax statue in Singapore museum with this feature. It’s a new interactive feature that Madame Tussauds is introducing with her figurine. It only proves her popularity across countries because only a handful of global power leaders and icons have such interactive features with their statues,” said the insider.

Talking about this latest addition to Madame Tussauds Singapore, Alex Ward, General Manager of the museum said, “She will have the first talking wax figure. Not just families, we also see many young adults from India coming to our attraction, and this is a great opportunity for us to cater to that audience. Anushka has been frequently requested by our guests and we are sure that she will be an incredibly popular addition to our attraction.”

On the work front, Anushka Sharma will be next seen in Sharat Kataria’s Sui Dhaaga opposite Varun Dhawan. She also has an important role in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Zero which is slated for December release
