Did you miss us over the long weekend? We missed you, too.
Here’s what you might’ve missed this past week!
Symlinks
Symlinks haven’t always been easy to access or create for Windows developers.

The next Insider Preview Build will allow devs to create symlinks without elevating the console to admin.
