Under Windows Update, users ultimately will see “Online Service Experience Pack - Windows.Settings.Account” with a version number. Microsoft execs have said fairly little about Windows Feature Experience Packs. These packs, introduced with Windows 10, have included the updated Snipping Tool, text input panel, and shell-suggestion UI. In addition to the new Your Microsoft Account settings page, Microsoft also has added support in today’s test build for “Discovery of Designated Resolvers.” This feature, which builds on DNS over HTTPS, allows Windows to discover encrypted DNS configurations from a DNS resolver known only by its IP address. Microsoft also is updating the name of the “Connect” app to “Wireless Display.” And it is splitting the Apps & Features in settings to two pages under Apps: Installed Apps and Advanced App Settings. The rest of Microsoft’s post about today’s build lists a bunch of fixes and known issues. Earlier this month, Microsoft introduced yet another Windows-updating-related feature to Windows Insiders. That mechanism, called Update Stack Packages, is designed to “deliver update improvements outside of major OS updates, such as new builds.” Officials declined to say more about what exactly these Update Stack Packages are at this point.
