Microsoft was supposed to push an update on Wednesday in the Dev channel. But instead, it gave us a pipeline test update. The Windows 10 Build 21370 has brought interesting updates for users who use Bluetooth earphones. With this update, users will be able to see a unified endpoint for the Bluetooth device for seamless experience. You can control the volume of the headset directly.
- You can also enjoy premium audio streaming quality wirelessly on your Bluetooth headphones and speakers with the aid of AAC codec. Short for Advanced Audio Codec, AAC is a lossy codec that delivers high quality audio streaming in smaller files – great for listening to music online.
This new build brings few changes to the File Explorer. Check out:
- We’ve made some small adjustments to the icons in File Explorer’s address bar.
- We’ve improved the touch keyboard launch animation to make it smoother in cases where UWP apps reflow when it appears.
- We made a change so that if you set focus to the Run dialog, the touch keyboard will now show a backslash (\) key.
