Will you give these new features a go or are you content to wait until the official release of Windows 10 Anniversary Update? Or are you still married to Windows 8 (or heaven forbid Windows 7)? Get the conversation started in the comments section below.Īt that price, I would never have bothered, especially given some of the bargain priced devices I've reviewed so far in 2016, such as the HP Spectre x2 and Lenovo Ideapad Miix 700. Fortunately, the company responded quickly and added an option to each application that restores 'pen as mouse' functionality.Īll in all, 2016 is shaping up to be the year that Microsoft re-embraces touch, pen and tablet mode and the computing world at large seems to be much more amenable to the prospect than it was when Windows 8 was first released. This behavior may be 'natural,' but it's very annoying to those of us accustomed to using the pen as a high precision pointer. In its quest to promote Windows Ink, Microsoft made the controversial decision to enable inking by default in all Office 2016 applications. Hopefully we'll see more of these edge gestures that were so touch friendly in Windows 8 return as tablets become a larger portion of the Windows ecosystem.

New tablet mode settings allow you to auto-hide the taskbar in tablet mode, a function I much prefer and which gives you a few rows of additional screen real estate. Swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen will make the taskbar disappear and reappear. 'We have also made it easier to toggle between your pinned tiles and All Apps list on the Start screen by providing these options in the left rail which is consistent with the UI used throughout Windows,' writes Aul.

Tablet mode in this new build restores the list (see above) and although it's not quite as touch friendly as the original, it makes it a lot faster for tablet users to find the app they seek.

One of the most irritating design changes in Windows 10 was the loss of the full screen All Apps list introduced in Windows 8. This utility definitely needs work but it's great to see that the solution is in the works. On the Helix 2, even Sketchbook for Tablets failed to ignore touch. Unfortunately, the desktop version of Sketchbook Pro 8.1 and Artrage Touch were not affected. Selecting ignore touch input, I was able to use Autodesk Sketchbook for Tablets on the Surface Pro 3 without risk of stray marks.

This approach works very poorly in most tools and it's why I don't use otherwise great software like Sketchbook Pro and Artrage more frequently. This capability has previously been up to the individual application and most, with the notable exception of Sketchable and Clip Studio Paint, don't distinguish between pen down and touch, relying instead on hit and miss palm rejection to avoid stray marks. This new control panel incorporates many of the functions previously found in the Surface app (notably missing in the pen pressure curve adjustment).Ī very promising new option tells the OS to ignore touch input when using the pen (below left). The last item in the Windows Ink Workspace is a link that takes you directly to the new Pen settings page.
