Cortana
Starting with build 17127, Cortana is getting a new profile that allows you to add and edit favorite places. The places you add will be used to give you traffic updates, and let you easily set reminders when you arrive or leave your location.
The Cortana’s Notebook is now available in more countries, including United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Canada, India, Spain, China, Mexico, France, Italy, Japan, and Brazil, and in more languages, and there are various performance improvements.
Even further, “Default Skills” in Cortana’s Notebook now come with a set of tips for questions you can ask Cortana to get you started — either click the suggestion, type it out yourself, or just talk to Cortana and it’ll pull up the information you requested.
