If you haven't heard, there is a program called _Mach2_ floating around which scans Windows core files and finds hidden disabled functionality and features (e.g. manually enabling Sets).In Build 17650, some very interesting discoveries were found using Mach2 that are quite newsworthy or offer amazing hints at what is coming soon...
- A user called @Lucan on Twitter managed to find the _Settings Page_ for the New Windows Control Center that you reported on. https://twitter.com/tfwboredom/status/988427948033064960
- A mention in ScOBE (also by @Lucan) revealed the string "Windows Productivity Update". https://twitter.com/tfwboredom/status/987424450948812801
- Apparently there will be a Store entry for Stickers. https://twitter.com/tfwboredom/status/988424644116934658
- There are MANY interesting entries revealed by Mach2 which don't have the code to enable them (so we can't see what they do), but they are there and their names are quite revealing. (full list at https://github.com/riverar/mach2/blob/master/features/17650.txt ). These are what I found to be the most interesting (and somewhat revealing) entries:
- "AndromedaStore" (So, Andromeda has a custom Store?)
- "ClipboardShellUI"
- "CoreShell" (is this... ?)
- "CoreShellOnDesktop"
- "CortanaGlobalShellOnDesktop" (Cortana Global Shell?)
- "HolographicCoreShellOnDesktop" (Why would you want Holograms on the Desktop?)
- "HolographicWin32" (Win32 in Mixed Reality - that would be _somewhat_ new because SteamVR is supported, but still...)
- "HomeHub" (obvious)
- "Hub_ComposableShell"
- "ImmersiveSearch" (is this the full screen search?)
- "InPlaceUpdate"
- "LightweightWindows"
- "RecycleBinMigration" (no idea)
- "EnableWCOSVerifyPackageForExeAPI" (This one clearly mentions Windows Core OS, and mentioned verifying packages for .exe Packages. This is very interesting.)
- "XamlWin32Hosting" (Win32 doesn't support XAML UI... _Yet_...)
