21.10.2014
Windows 10 Technical Preview testers are getting a new build of the OS with almost 7,000 changes, including the addition of the Action Center console already available in Windows Phone.

For people using two monitors, the new build, number 9860, also brings a keyboard shortcut to move active apps from one display to the other.

This is the first update for Windows 10 Technical Preview, which was released about three weeks ago as build 9841. Most of the changes in this new build will be invisible to testers, because they are improvements and bug fixes.

This first implementation of the Action Center in Windows 10 features basic notifications, and the user interface isn't very polished. "You'll see notifications from the system and apps -- from new emails and invites to IMs, FacebookFacebook posts and more -- all in one place, so you don't miss a thing. Click on the new Action Center icon in the notification area of your taskbar to check it out," wrote Gabe Aul, leader of the Data & Fundamentals Team in Microsoft's Operating Systems Group (OSG), in a blog post.

Testers who signed up for the Windows Insider Program will get the new build via Windows Update. Those who can't wait for it to be automatically delivered can get it manually by going to their computers' PC Settings menu, clicking on Update and Recovery, choosing Preview Builds and clicking the Check Now button.

In that Preview Builds screen, they'll now find an option to establish how quickly new Windows 10 Technical Preview builds are downloaded and installed on their PCs. The "fast" option delivers new builds on the same day they become available. The "slow" option delays the delivery, although the blog post doesn't say by how much.
