Windows 10 Build 18975, 20H1: Reset with cloud download, new tablet UI, option to restart apps
On Windows 10, Microsoft (via Onmsft) is testing a new Cortana app called "beta" starting with build 18922 (part of the 20H1 update). It introduces a new user interface that focuses a bit more on tap interaction, but still offers voice support.
The app also responds to the system's color scheme. This means that whether you're using the light or dark theme, the new Cortana app will change its color accordingly. And unlike the previous version, the new version no longer has a sidebar, but instead a button with three dots to access settings or log out.
While it's interesting to see the new experience after Microsoft split Cortana and Search into two separate features, it's not clear if the app will be available to everyone (yet). However, if you're running Windows 10 Build 18922 and don't see the new beta version of the app, you can force it to appear on your installation using a third-party tool called "mach2" by Rafael Rivera.
