Fresh of the presses is a new Windows 10 Insider build for both PC and mobile devices. Today, October 13, 2016, the Windows team has released build 14946 which brings with it some nifty Settings features for customizing the trackpad for PC users as well as the ability to remove words from the user dictionary on mobile devices, among other items.

Check outthe detailed list below to see ‘What’s New’ for PCs and mobile devices in Windows 10 Insider build 14946.

What’s new in Build 14946

Customizing your precision touchpad experience (PC): Last week, we announced that we’d been working on refining your touchpad experience. This week, we’re taking that one step further. When you go into Settings > Devices > Touchpad, you will now find a section called “Other gestures”. In this section, you now have basic customization options for your three and four finger gestures. For taps, you can select between Cortana, Action Center, play/pause or middle mouse button, and for left/right swipes, you can select between switching apps or switching virtual desktops. Try it out and let us know what you think!

However, we know that some of our Insiders prefer even more control over their experience, so for those Insiders (and power users) we have added a new Advanced Gestures Configuration page. The page can be accessed via a link at the bottom of Touchpad settings page.

There you have it, a sizeable list of additions for this week’s build release. To find out what else has been fixed or broken for either PCs or Mobile devices with this build, please visit our other postings regarding this release.
