As a result, Office Hub will have access to all the Win32 features which possibly aren’t available on the Universal Windows Platform.Īt the moment, the Office Hub/Get Office app is pretty limited - it only shows your recent documents, lets you open some Office apps, get support, and that’s it. In addition to this, the app is actually a Project Centennial app - meaning that it’s a Win32 app which users can download or update right from the Windows Store. Microsoft’s internal plans suggest that the company could be integrating it right into Windows 10, allowing users to be able to access their Office documents right from the taskbar (as a Cortana-like UI) or the Action Center. This is what makes the app quite interesting as it is believed to be one of the major new features coming with the Creators Update.

At the moment, the app shows up as “Get Office” - however, when you look at the task manager, you’ll see that it’s showing up as “Office Hub”. The software giant today released the new Office Hub feature to Insiders as an update for the Get Office app on Windows 10 PCs. Microsoft has quietly released a pretty major new feature coming with the Windows 10 Creators Update to Windows Insiders.
