Microsoft is capping off the week with a new Windows 10 20H1 preview build for Fast ring Insiders to check out. This latest release pushes the build number up to 18975, and it includes a handful of new features alongside a ton of bug fixes and improvements. New in this build is the ability to move the Cortana window. You can also resize the window, allowing you to place it and shape it however you please. This capability is rolling out to half of Windows Insiders who currently have access to the new Cortana experience.
WHAT'S NEW?
INTRODUCING THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE CORTANA WINDOW
● With the new conversational Cortana experience, we understand that you wanna keep the chat going sometimes, and the default position of the window isn’t always where you’d prefer to have it docked if you’re going to have a longer back and forth. That’s why we’re starting to roll out the option to be able to move the window (by dragging the title bar area), to anywhere you’d like on the screen–just like you can with other windows. You can also resize the window if you’d like. Currently, this change is rolled out to 50% of Insiders with the new Cortana experience, and we’ll continue the rollout as we validate the quality of the experience.
