The company has put a 29-inch Windows 10 Surface computer on one of the doors and, as if that's not enough, made the screen transparent so users can see inside the fridge.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Login Freeze Bug: Here's How to Fix It..

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Login Freeze Bug: Here's How to Fix It...

Tech giant Microsoft started rolling out its first annual Windows 10 Anniversary Update last month. However, many users started to complain that after they installed the Anniversary Update, their Windows 10 desktops froze, refusing them to sign-in. Now, Microsoft has announced that it has bundled a fix for that with an auto-update released on August 31.
The fix is automatically applied when installing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. However, if you already have the Windows 10 Anniversary Update installed on your PC or tablet, then you can fix it by accessing the second administrator account if you have one. After you sign into that, install the latest Windows 10 update and reboot the PC.
If you do not have the second administrator account, alternatively try to uninstall the Anniversary Update by using any of these two methods:
Method 1: Try uninstalling the Windows 10 Anniversary Update by using the Recovery Console. First go ahead and reboot the PC. When you get to the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key and the Power button simultaneously. The PC will restart, and on the screen choose Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Go back to the previous build.
Method 2: If the first method doesn't work, try using the Settings app from Safe Mode. First go ahead and reboot the PC. When you get to the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key and the Power button simultaneously. The PC will restart, and on the screen choose Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart. After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 4 or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode. Open the Settings App is Safe Mode, select Update & Security > Recovery Tab > Go back to an earlier build. Click on the Get Started button under "Go back to an earlier build" and follow the instructions.
Once you've removed the Anniversary Update, reinstall the latest Update from the Windows 10 download page. While reinstalling, make sure you back up your data, just in case something has to go wrong (again!). Here's a step by step guide on how to install the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
Two weeks after the first Windows 10 Anniversary Update rollout for desktops and tablets, the Redmond-based company finally started rolling out the Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update to eligible devices as well.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Rollout Will Finish in November...

Microsoft started rolling out the much-hyped Windows 10 Anniversary Update from August 2. However, many users still haven't received a notification on their systems about the update. Now, fresh information comes in stating that the update may not be done rolling out until early November.
Microsoft did inform at the time of initial rollout that the update would be in phases because of the volume of devices running on Windows 10, but the exact time period wasn't specified. Now, ZDNet reports that it received a blast email from Microsoft that in a footnote revealed the update will take three months to roll out to all users - which would mean by November 2. As of June, Windows 10 is estimated to have been installed on around 300 million machines around the world, and all of these machines are set to get an upgrade.
"The Anniversary Update will download and install via Windows Update. The download is automatically available to you. It will begin rolling out on 2 August 2016 and may take up to 3 months to reach all users. Internet access fees may apply," the publication informs.
This should provide some clarity to all those Windows 10 users who haven't received the update. For all those who can't wait for the OTA update, you can update manually right now by following the steps here. Alternatively, this link should also help you upgrade to the latest version.
Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update was expected to release alongside the desktop update, but that didn't happen. Instead, it released much later and brought along minimalistic changes.

I installed Windows 10 Anniversary update the day before yesterday. Some new features added.

Windows Anywhere is a new option of the most recent Windows 10 Insider Build that got released a couple of days ago that looks on first glance like a copy of Sync (which is also still a part of that build).
As you may know, Windows 10 users may sync certain settings, the theme, Internet Explorer settings or passwords to name some, to the cloud.
These settings become available on other devices running Windows 10 that you sign in with using the same Microsoft account.
The sync feature in its current state is severely limited and chance is that many Windows 10 users don't notice it at all.
If you run the default theme on all devices, and don't use Internet Explorer, then there is little that can be synced between devices.
Interestingly enough, Microsoft did a better job in regards to synchronization on Windows 8.x. You could sync the start screen layout for instance.
Windows Anywhere

Windows Anywhere looks a lot like Sync on first glance. You find it under Settings > Accounts > Windows Anywhere just underneath Sync. It is clear that this is not the final configuration screen for Windows Anywhere, as it offers little information and no options at all.
There is little to see on the page at the moment. It lists the email address of the Microsoft account you are logged in with, a "how does syncing work" link, and a toggle that allows you to turn Windows Anywhere on or off.
The link leads to a explanation page on Bing that is identical to the one that is opened when you click on it under "sync your settings".

This makes it look like a rebranding effort more than anything else at this point in time. However, as Paul Thurott points out, a recent job listing for a new position at Microsoft suggests that there is more to it than that.

[size=small]The Windows user experience is moving to the cloud. We’re reinventing how users connect to their apps, files and settings across all their Windows devices.
We’re making it possible for your user experience to follow you. We’re passionate about UX and transforming how users interact with our products.
As a member of our team you will: Design, develop and perfect new ways of interacting with apps and files across all Windows devices.[/size]

While Windows Anywhere is not mentioned in the description, it would fit the description to the letter.
The main question is what Microsoft has in mind in regards to Windows Anywhere. While anything is just guesswork at this point, it seems likely that Microsoft plans to extend the data that is synced between devices.
This could include the following items:

1. All custom Settings and Control Panel modifications.
   
2. The Start Menu layout.
   
3. Taskbar layout and configuration.
   
4. System tray layout and configuration.
   
5. All items on desktop.
   
6. Notification and Actions settings.
   
7. App synchronization.

Ultimately, Microsoft could address the larger picture as well:

1. Sync all personal files between devices and the cloud.
   
2. Sync desktop programs.
   
3. Add a management system to the cloud to manage synced items (add, delete, edit).

Microsoft should provide options to customize what gets synced to which device, especially if it plans to introduce sync options that consume more bandwidth than others.
Closing Words
I'd guess that Microsoft will concentrate on adding more Settings and Windows 10 specific features to Sync, but will ignore desktop programs and everything that is related to them.
