Another interface feature I've really started to cherish is File Explorer's Quick Access section. This lets you easily find whatever file you were last working on in whatever application you were using. So, if you edit an image and want to add it to another app, it's right at the top of the Quick Access list. You never have to remember where you just saved a file to find it.
Overlap between the Settings App and Control Panel still remains an interface legacy of Windows 8, but really, it's no longer such an issue. For simple system settings, you use the Settings app, for deep, technical system options, you go to the Control Panel.
New Cortana Tricks
Cortana, Windows' voice-responsive AI digital assistant, may be Windows 10's highest-profile feature. The intelligent voice assistant predates Apple's Siri on the Mac by over a year. The Windows Anniversary Update bestows some interesting new capabilities on the feature. I should note that you can no longer completely disable Cortana in the Update, but you can prevent her from accessing your location, email, contacts, and browsing history, and communications. You can also turn off her listening for "Hey Cortana." Cortana is, however, the search function in the OS, but you can hide the search bar if you never want to use it.

You can now use Cortana from the lock screen. This is useful for things like playing a particular music playlist, asking about today's weather, or asking for information. Speaking of music, the Cortana panel now has a musical note button that serves a Shazam-like function to identify songs in range of your PC's mic. Intel also has new wake-on-voice technology that means you could say "Hey Cortana!" and have the PC respond even if it's in sleep mode. It's sort of like an Amazon Echo$179.99 at Amazon, without the need for a separate device.
