One of the new features currently being worked on by Microsoft and expected to debut with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is color filters, which are supposed to help those with color blindness use the operating system just like everyone else.
Essentially, the new filters will be applied at the system level and include six different settings to make it easier for users to differentiate colors such as red and green.
The good news doesn't stop there as Microsoft says that these filters will also help people with light sensitivity adjust all displayed images to their needs regardless of whether they are part of the operating system or not.
The available filters will be Greyscale, Invert, Greyscale Inverted, Deuteranopia, Protanopia and Tritanopia and you will find them under the settings: Settings > Ease of Access > Color and High Contrast. Enabling them does not require a system restart and all changes are applied immediately.
Note that these features are just a part of Windows 10 build 16215, which will be available to everyone in the fall.
In other news, Microsoft has also enabled swipe mode by default in Narrator, which means that the arrow keys can be used across the entire content of an app.
So we will learn more about the new features with the release of the Fall Creators Update, which according to the company's schedule is scheduled to be finalized in September. It remains to be seen whether the new features will attract the attention of even more users...
