For Windows 10, the scheme of major updates changes – now only once a year

Microsoft is preparing to change its strategy for updating Windows 10. Now, instead of two major updates, which are traditionally divided into spring and autumn, there will be only one. This decision was made in connection with the approaching release date for Windows 10X, since part of the resources will be transferred to work on the new OS.

It is noted that this operating system will be released in the spring of 2023 and will be adapted, including for laptops with one and two displays.

This solution has both pros and cons. Among the first, we note more time for debugging and testing, which will reduce the number of errors. The list of the latter includes a smaller number of innovations and their later appearance.

The new scheme will start working in 2023 – the fall update 20H2 will be released as planned. It is expected to have an improved Start Menu and some other innovations. But the next, most likely, will be released in the summer or autumn of next year.
