Latest Windows 10 Insider Build brings security improvements to Edge

Windows 10 Build 15002 adds incremental changes to Edge and a number of other small enhancements

The latest Insider build of Windows 10, Build 15002, will be the first to incorporate the new 'Green Screen of Death' that, we're told, will help show what sort of build screenshots come from.

This build won't include the new Neon design that was widely leaked last week - that won't be around for some considerable time. Neither will we see x86 to ARM interoperability. Those will likely be in Redstone 3, due this autumn, but that will be a major update.

First up, the Edge browser gets pop-up previews of tabs as you rollover, a feature last seen in a Microsoft browser in Windows 8, and there's also a "set aside" feature which enables users to close a bunch of tabs and re-open them later.

That means users can create groups of tabs for particular tasks (say a news story you're writing?) and come back to them later without them taking up valuable resources.

It is also the first build of Edge that has Adobe Flash as a "click to run" option, making it the last major browser to kick the fairly maligned browser plug-in into touch once. It also has a new way of handling the processes for each tab, which is the same Achille's heel much bemoaned by Chrome users.

For those who don't like incessant updates, you can now pause them for 35 days (gee thanks, Microsoft) and, as long as you're not on the home edition on Windows 10, then you'll be able to opt out of driver updates entirely.

There's a whole bunch of other stuff you can read on the blog, but that's the basics. Unless you're very serious and don't mind stuff that borks, we'd recommend this only for a spare PC, when you're at a loose end.

Build 15002 is available to Fast Ring subscribers now. There's no mobile version yet - it's desktop only.
