As we’ve told you already, Windows 10 Mobile build 14310 was spotted on a Lumia 950 XL at Build 2016 last week, and now in new screenshots posted by WinFuture, we can easily notice that there’s at least one unreleased feature in this version.
Active Hours, an option that’s not available in the
current Windows 10 builds, will allow you to select the hours when you
usually work on the device, so Windows Update can avoid rebooting to
complete installing new updates.
“Active hours lets us known when you usually use
this device. When a restart is necessary to finish installing an update,
we won’t automatically restart your device during active hours,” the
description of this new feature explains.
Custom restart time
Furthermore, there’s another option that enables
users to select a custom restart time and which should override settings
in active hours. “This option allows you to temporarily override active
hours and schedule a custom time to finish installing this update. Make
sure your device is plugged in at the scheduled time,” the description
reads.
The first time we heard about Active Hours was in late March when information regarding such a feature for Windows 10 PCs first reached the web.
It turns out that similar functionality will be available on all
Windows 10 devices, including PCs and mobile devices, so expect the next
build released to insiders to include it too.
Without a doubt, this feature will be part of the
Anniversary Update coming in the summer, so for the moment Microsoft’s
only planning to collect feedback to further improve it should any
tweaks be necessary before the public debut.
