Like all Windows updates, there's almost nothing (if not exactly nothing)
that you can't already do in any version of Windows since XP but here's
what Redmond supposedly touts is "new" in the upcoming version 1809.
[*] Cortana can search your Calendar
[*] touchscreen SwiftKey keyboard
[*] a better screenshot tool named screen sketch
[*] the Your Phone app for iPhone and Android
[*] less annoying incremental update restarts
[*] dark theme for File Explorer
[*] so called "extended web searching functionality"
[*] clipboard history and sync
[*] nearly meaningless Microsoft Edge improvements
[*] Notepad finally can switch to normal EOF/CR line endings
[*] Leap second support
[*] fonts are available to all users (not just admins)
[*] Regedit has "autocomplete"
[*] Regional settings can override local settings
[*] Disk cleanup now removes files in the downloads folder
[*] Magnifier tool has more 10% & 5% options
[*] Task manager has a "power usage" tab
[*] Ease of access "make text bigger" switch
[*] Windows defender can "block suspicious behavior"
[*] Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer displays Problem Reports

While that's seeming nothing of any import, maybe others here know of
something (anything?) in the Windows 10 version that is actually useful?

If the make text bigger was what everyone wants (the old format of
changing selected items like in windows 7), then this might be good.
I do like the new disk cleanup. Much easier to understand. I'm on the
insider version so I've already got it.

Some / alot of people like dark themes. I'm not sure why, but it's nice
they did that.

I think I'm on the same track as you, for the average home user, there
isn't much going on with Windows updates.
