Although Microsoft rolled out their new operating system on July 29, Windows 10 users continue to send in and vote on the features that they still want to see implemented.
The company, meanwhile, continues to clean out the Windows Feedback app, archiving the suggestions that users post and making room for new ones — and indeed, several fresh requests have been posted by users that want more features added to the operating system.
Here is a list of the 5 most voted submissions so far:
1. Unified InboxThere should be a unified inbox where you can view all of your mail at once. It is a hassle to keep switching between inboxes.
Basically users want Microsoft to implement a feature like the BlackBerry Hub. While the mail app that comes with Windows 10 allows users to set up multiple email accounts, it’s not a central solution that manages multiple messages at once — users still have to jump from one account to another.
2. Download LocationLet us choose where to save our downloads, not just to the default folder.
Now this is something that almost everyone has noticed when reviewing or using Microsoft Edge, the new web browser included in Windows 10. By default, it stores all files in the Downloads folder in your PC library, with no option to change that. It’s easy enough to implement, hopefully in a future update.
3. Advanced Cortana OptionsWhy can’t Cortana do some simple things, such as shutting down the computer?
Cortana, Microsoft’s new personal digital assistant, finally made its debut on PC with Windows 10, but users want a more advanced version of her that can control power options, shutdown or reboot a computer, or put it to sleep, or standby mode.
4. Dark ThemeDark theme, PLEASE.
No wonder this feature is so high on the list. Windows 10 launched with the dark theme on the desktop, but people have been asking for Microsoft to go all in on this approach and visual style across the OS. If anything, people still continue to create dark themed concepts for Windows 10, even after its launch.
5. GPU Driver UpdatesGPU drivers should never, EVER be updated by Windows Update without EXPRESS permission from the End User.
Gamers know this all too well. While bad drivers can easily ruin the whole experience with an operating system, faulty GPU drivers are among the worst in that they can affect games, plummeting frame rates or causing other issues. Needless to say, Windows 10 users don’t want to be exposed to these problems.
Pretty comprehensive list, as far as user requests go.
All are very valid suggestions, and while there is no indication that Microsoft is acting on these just yet, at least the company is aware of the public demand. The more the votes, the bigger the chances to seem them implemented, of course.
So be sure to launch the Feedback app and cast your vote, if you’re in favor of any of these.
