A new Windows 10 update makes Cortana more useful for busy people

Microsoft is set to release a new, major update to Windows 10 on Aug. 2 -- just a few days after the system's first anniversary. The company made clear when Windows 10 debuted that the new system would break from the old rhythm of updating -- going years between major upgrades. Instead, the firm said that it would release smaller, but more frequent updates to the system. The company already released a significant upgrade in November, which added some Skype-based messaging apps, features for business and some visual tweaks. The Windows 10 Anniversary update adds a few features, including a major change to the company's voice assistant, Cortana.
