Microsoft rolls out a new update for the Windows 10 Insider. The update will feature a lot of new changes for Windows 10 as well as improvements.

Reports say that Microsoft released the latest Windows 10 preview build coined as 15002 yesterday. The update features a lot of changes exclusive to those who are using the Windows 10 Insider previews as their main OS. One of the updates will feature a brand new tab bar for Microsoft Edge.

The new tab bar in Edge will let users have access to the rest of the tabs without leaving the current page. This saves a lot of time because of most users prefer to have multiple tabs open for easy and faster access. There is also the access to a new window called InPrivate mode. The InPrivate window acts like a private or incognito windows for private browsing.

The Insider update will also show a new color for the "Screen of Death." GSOD or the Green Screen of Death will replace the traditional blue color of the BSOD screen when the system crashes. This is solely exclusive for the Insider users so for those who are not using it will still see the regular BSOD. Microsoft is also adding a blue light reduction feature that lets users use their computers with less blue light emitted during the night. This feature will rely on the local sunrise and sunset schedules for its reduction.

The update will also automatically block content that relies on Flash. This may be a move to secure the system since most Flash contents are dubbed as untrusted by the system. In order to enable Flash content, users have manually enabled them in the settings in order to run it.

Despite all these changes, there will be no movement with Windows 10's user interface yet. However, there are several leaked screenshots circulating that shows the concepts of a UI change when the time comes. The only change that the company added in this update is that in the Start Menu, users can now group applications into a folder. It makes the app easily accessible for the users since they'll be located in one folder.

The Windows 10 Insider update is expected to be finalized by the end of this month. Microsoft plans to release this update in April this year for all current Windows 10 users. Windows 10 users can expect more changes to the operating system later this year. To view the full changes for the 15002 Insider update, check out Microsoft's blog post.
