While nothing has been set in stone yet, Microsoft may implement a new setting to let all the different uses of Windows shine.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>(Potentially) Introducing Device Usage<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u201cDevice Usage\u201d<\/strong> is the proposed name of a feature that could help customize a device\u2019s performance to how it is predominantly used. After all, a gamer running the latest AAA titles at maximum settings will have much different needs than someone who just needs a reliable workstation sitting at their desk. This feature would simply help adjust the computer\u2019s settings to best fit the needs of these different users.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Feature Could Look Like:<\/h3>\n<p>Based on test versions, <strong>Device Usage<\/strong> would be found under <strong>Personalization<\/strong> in a revamped version of the <strong>Settings<\/strong>. There, a user would be given six use case categories to choose from\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Business<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Creativity<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Entertainment<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Family<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Gaming<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Schoolwork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2026based on what they would most often be using the device for. Business users will set it to Business, students would set it to Schoolwork, and so on. Once they made their selection, some settings would likely be adjusted to give them their optimal experience.<\/p>\n<p>While it isn\u2019t yet clear what changes would be made, there are ideas that Device Usage would effectively expand upon the choices present in the existing out-of-box-experience (OOBE) setup screen. The OOBE setup is where users initially validate agreements, connect to their network, and otherwise configure their device initially.<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, this feature is still being tested in Windows\u2019 Preview builds, so we might learn more if\/when it is ever released.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you want to ensure that your business\u2019 technology is doing all it can for your success now, you can always turn to Nexela.
