What new features will the May 2020 update include?

The Windows 10 May 2020 update includes a number of changes for us-
ers, according to Microsoft, such as:

Cortana: Microsoft says Cortana is evolving into a "personal productivity assistant" that can help you use
Microsoft 365 apps. Cortana will be undocked from the taskbar, so you can move or resize it like any other
app. An improved email feature lets you use Cortana to create emails (for example, you can say, "Send an
email to Mary letting her know I'm running late" or "Show me emails from Jeff"). An improved calendar lets
you do the same to create and ask about meetings. And Windows lets you use the assistant to open apps
and adjust settings like brightness.
• Search Home: Access four quick searches to your Search Home for easier access: weather, top news,
today in history and new movies.

• Kaomoji: Microsoft adds kaomoji -- like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- to its keyboard shortcut along with other emoji.

• Virtual desktops: Rename your virtual desktops, instead of getting stuck with the system-issued names
like Desktop 1.
• Automatically open apps: Opt in to a setting to automatically open Universal Windows Platform apps
after you restart your machine.
Bluetooth pairing: Pairing Bluetooth devices with your machine will occur through notifications, so you
won't need to go to the Settings app to finish pairing.

New tablet experience for two-in-one convertible PCs: Available in beta for Windows Insiders, when you
detach your two-in-one's keyboard, you'll still keep the familiar look of your desktop without interruption,
while still optimizing the screen for touch.
