Windows 8 three hidden features exposure

Many hidden features of Windows 8 have been discovered, such as Windows Store, New Task Manager, Cloud Sync, Hybird Boot Quick Start, File System Protogon, etc. Today, Windows 8 has three hidden new features. Excavated, including crash detection, 3G/Wi-Fi/WWAN restrictions, multi-screen taskbar.

Crash Monitoring

Some group policies in Windows 8 show that Microsoft is fine-tuning the "Program Compatibility Assistant" (PCA) and overall system stability. First, someone found a setting in Windows 8 that is related to the more advanced application crash monitor, allowing users to monitor and resolve more software compatibility issues.

According to the system description, PCA can detect the denial of access to deleted files and system files (WRP, Windows Resource Protection), which greatly reduces the problems that may occur when such file system operations.

More importantly, Windows 8 is working hard to reduce the overall crash and isolate the printer driver from the application. I believe this includes not only general-purpose printer drivers, but also “virtual” third-party drivers such as XPS, PDF, and OneNote printer drivers.

3G/Wi-Fi/WWAN Restrictions

In order to prevent high roaming charges on the go, Windows 8 provides users with convenient wireless network management functions. This 3G/Wi-Fi/WWAN throttling feature allows administrators to easily manage 3G, 4G, WiFi and even WWAN connections.

In a Win8 group policy that is still in the early stages of development, administrators can choose to "unlimited", "fixed" or "optional" network to save on The network cost when traveling.

Further, administrators can also disable mobile roaming connections. It is not clear whether ordinary users can perform these operations as well. In fact, the emergence of this feature is not unusual, if Microsoft wants to promote Windows 8 to the mobile field, then this feature should be considered.

Multi-Screen Taskbar

In Windows 8, a new multi-screen option will be added to the taskbar properties dialog, which allows the taskbar to be displayed on all screens. However, this feature was not enabled in earlier versions of Windows 8. So we can't currently know how the taskbar is displayed on a screen other than the home screen. The taskbar on screen 2 only shows the application icons running on that screen? Are clocks and other desktop gadgets cloned to other screens or only on the home screen?
