DNS over HTTP (DoH)
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a new feature that will allow DNS resolution over encrypted HTTPS connections. This new DNS resolution method aims at protect your privacy navigation by potential onlookers.
"If you weren't expecting this and are wondering what DoH is, then be aware that this feature will change the way your device connects to the Internet and is in an early test phase, so only proceed if you are sure you are ready. Microsoft pointed out in a blog post published last year.

For example, the new Disk Management which will allow you to perform some of the basic functions of its "old style" counterpart directly from the settings, such as managing volumes and partitions.
