Windows 10’s latest Insider preview build, 17074, was released late last night to Insiders in the Fast Ring. This is the first build of 2018, and it comes with a lot of new features.
The new build mostly focuses on improvements for Microsoft Edge, however. The browser now includes a completely revamped book reading experience, thanks to the improved user-interface and animations. The updated book reading experience comes with useful features such as grammar tools, a full-screen mode, and more.

Edge is getting a couple of other, actual essential features with this build, too — it can now autofill your credit card information on websites (finally!), lets you use extensions and autofill passwords when InPrivate, and vertically dock the F12 developer tools.
There are a bunch of other improvements in this build, including a supercharged Quiet Hours feature with improved customisation options, improved Settings for sound and storage, and a new embedded handwriting panel for touch devices.
