Microsoft also says it is improving the accuracy of its recognition technology and using crossed-out gestures when users need to edit. The goal of Windows Ink is to allow users to handwrite wherever they can type on a Windows device.

Microsoft said that the current improvements to Windows Ink are only applicable to English (US), and more languages will be added in the future.

Microsoft, the new volume control in Quick Setting, introduces an enhanced volume control experience in Quick setup (Quick Settings), which can subdivide the volume output of each application.
