 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is the next major update that Microsoft is planning to release in September. That's not a mistake, Microsoft is reusing the same "Creators Update" naming for this next update, and it will include a new focus on bringing Windows experiences to iOS and Android devices.
Microsoft is detailing its Fall Creators Update on stage at Build this morning, and the company is demonstrating four key new additions:
  • Timeline
  • Pick Up Where You Left Off
  • Clipboard
  • OneDrive Files On-Demand
Timeline is a new feature that improves the Task View area to provide a list of apps and workspaces that you were using previously or on other devices. Think of it like a time machine for resuming old sessions. Timeline also combines with a new Pick Up Where You Left Off feature to let you resume sessions and apps on multiple devices.
This new pick up feature is particularly useful on mobile devices, where Microsoft hopes app developers will start to link their desktop apps to resume experiences on devices like an iPhone or Android handset. Microsoft is also creating a cloud clipboard that will roam across Windows, iOS, and Android to let people copy content from a PC and paste it on a phone. It's very similar to Apple's Universal Clipboard.

Hi Daniel, many thanks for the heads up on this one. The news broke here on the MSN feed, and whilst the announced contents is nice...it is a little bit underwhelming when compared to the past ones.
 
Still, will be nice to get some new features to play with in the autumn. ;)
