The new search screen with light theme.
The Windows 10 1903 update will be reaching most users in late May and June of 2019 and is one of the regular semi-annual updates to Windows 10. The update will be automatically downloaded and installed as per your computer's update settings.
Here are the highlights..
A new Light Theme is available that will change the colour of the taskbar and other elements to a lighter colour. Windows 10 has had Dark Theme available for a while, but now you can lighten up the bottom black bar.
Focus Assist supresses distractions while you are duplicating your display. A new rule is available that will disable notifications while the current app is in full screen mode.
Search is being separated from Cortana. When you search in the taskbar, you will now be searching only in files on the PC and will not be given Internet recommendations. Cortana, Microsoft's digital assitant can still be accessed by a separate icon.
Windows Sandbox is a new secure environment that allows you to run apps without making changes to your files. Sandbox works like a built-in virtual machine running Windows 10, but every time you close it, all changes that you make are automatically removed. You may use it to run any executable file to block it from interacting with the underlying operating system. In other words: what happens in Windows Sandbox stays in Windows Sandbox.
