Windows 10 launches in each edition that develops new functions designed to improve and optimize the user experience both at the level of general use of the system and its applications. In the Creators Update edition, version 1703, a functionality called Shared Experiences was integrated into the Windows 10 operating system which was created with the mission of giving us the possibility to execute a task on a Windows 10 device and continue it or finish it on another device Windows 10 linked..
With this new feature it will now be possible to share web links, messages, application data and more elements with other Windows 10 devices or with linked Android devices. This will facilitate the task of sharing or transferring videos, photos and documents with other Windows 10 devices. via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in a safe and complete way.
The main purpose of this project is to allow the compatibility and execution of Android applications on Windows and Xbox devices, but if we do not make frequent use of this shared experience we can disable it in order that our Windows 10 device cannot be detected by others Networked computers..
