What is new about Windows 10 Preview Build 20211?
The most interesting new feature for regular users is the fact that Microsoft is introducing a search function to the Default Apps pages in Settings. How is this going to help? You will be able to set the default apps in Windows 10 by looking for a certain file type. For instance, you can look for the JPG extension and change the default Photos app with just a click. To get to the new feature you need to start the Settings app, then click on the Default Apps from the left pane, and click on the Choose default apps by file type.
To search for a file type you just need to type the extension name in the search box.
