Windows 10 Announced - Released 29-Jul-2015

JRViejo · Sep 5, 2019

Patching in Windows 10 version 1903 has turned the old “Check for updates” turkey shoot into something manageable, according to a new report by Ed Bott. If true, this will be the second significant reason to upgrade to 1903 (if Microsoft ever bashes the big bugs).

Update: "everyone in the Release Preview ring should see a Windows 10, version 1909 update available"

UPDATE 9/5: We have increased the “seeker” experience for 19H2 in the Release Preview ring to 100%. This means that everyone in the Release Preview ring should see a Windows 10, version 1909 update available If they go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Insiders who choose to install this update will be updated to 19H2 Build 18363.329. We are also beginning to push 19H2 out to 10% of Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring as well.

Windows 10 Build 18980 Released for All Insiders With New Cortana App
September 11, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...leased-for-all-insiders-with-new-cortana-app/

Microsoft has released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18980 (20H1) to Insiders in the Fast ring, which make it a lot easier for all Windows customers to use Cortana with the new Cortana app.
Updated Cortana experience for all Insiders
The all-new Cortana app supports only English (U.S.) for starters but Microsoft will slowly add support for new languages outside OS updates given that Cortana is service backed.
Redmond is expecting to add support for the same set of regions and languages currently supported in retail by 20H1 launch with more details regarding the language rollout plans to be revealed at a later date.
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) enhancements
With Build 18980, WSL2 now comes with ARM64 device support, as well as "the ability to set your distribution’s default user using the /etc/wsl.conf file."
Full details on what changed in WSL in this latest Insider Preview build are available in the WSL release notes.

Windows 10 20H1 finally gets a real name
September 11, 2019
https://mspoweruser.com/windows-10-20h1-finally-gets-a-real-name/

The name Windows 10 20H1 means Microsoft expects to release the next major version of Windows 10 sometime in the 1st Half of 2020. This is a rather imprecise date range, and now the latest Insider Build of Windows 10 20H1 has revealed a more precise target date for when Microsoft expects to release the OS update.

Windows 10 May 2020 Update pic.twitter.com/0pWIaFIhn6
— Tero Alhonen (@teroalhonen) September 11, 2019
Discovered by Tero Alhonen, it appears Microsoft has renamed the update to the Windows 10 May 2020 update. As part of the cleanup Microsoft also retrospectively renamed the April 2019 Update, which was released in May, to the May 2019 Update.

Like the April 2019 Update, the name only suggests an intended release date, and it remains to be seen if Microsoft will make the target.

Microsoft restores Optional Updates listing in Windows 10 version 20H1
September 18, 2019
https://www.ghacks.net/2019/09/18/m...l-updates-listing-in-windows-10-version-20h1/

Microsoft plans to restore optional updates listings in the next major feature update of Windows 10 that the company plans to release in May 2020.

The company removed the practical optional update listings that it provided in previous versions of its Windows operating system when it released Windows 10.
This led to all kinds of issues including issues caused by automatic driver installations supplied via Windows Update. Options to disable driver installations via Windows Update exist using Group Policy or Registry changes but most Home users are probably unaware of them.

Optional update listings returned in the most recent build of the upcoming Windows 10 20H1 version of Windows 10. Microsoft has added a new "view optional updates" link on the Windows Update settings page that leads directly to the available optional updates.
Optional updates are sorted into groups; only driver updates were available at the time of writing though.

Windows 10 Sets “tabbed windows” feature might be making a comeback
September 21, 2019
https://www.windowslatest.com/2019/...d-windows-feature-might-be-making-a-comeback/

Windows 10 Sets, a new tabbed Windows experience that was first previewed in November 2017, might be coming back in next year’s major update.

Microsoft included Windows 10 Sets in the preview builds for two times but the feature was removed at a later stage prior to the release of the yearly update. Windows 10 Sets was pulled from the preview builds because of the complexities of apps compatibility.
Microsoft has never promised Sets for a particular version of Windows 10 —or possibly even ever, but a report suggests that the feature might return back in an upcoming Insider build.

Mentions of Sets were discovered in Windows 10 Build 19481, which is an internal Windows 10 update.
With Sets, Microsoft hopes to put tabs in every window of the apps to boost productivity and multitasking experience.

Confirmed: Windows 10 Build 19481 won’t bring back Windows Sets
September 23, 2019
https://mspoweruser.com/confirmed-windows-10-build-19481-wont-bring-back-windows-sets/

Now, Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager at Microsoft took to Twitter to confirm that Microsoft isn’t testing Windows Sets in Windows 10 Build 19481.

Nope.
— Brandon LeBlanc (@brandonleblanc) September 23, 2019
Interestingly enough, Brandon LeBlanc rejected “Windows Sets in Windows 10 Build 19481” rumor, without declaring the Sets feature dead. It could mean that Microsoft is still very much interested in developing the feature. If you recall, Microsoft earlier said that the removal of Windows Sets is temporary and that the feature will be added as soon as it’s polished and ready.

As of now, it seems Microsoft is not ready to talk about Sets and, therefore, we don’t exactly know as to when the feature will be making a comeback.

Ex-Microsoft employee explains quality issues with Windows 10 development
September 22, 2019
https://mspoweruser.com/ex-microsoft-explains-quality-issues-with-windows-10-development/

Bizarre bugs and issues with Windows 10 have become rather par for the course these days, and occasionally these can be catastrophic, such as the data loss issue October last year.
There have been many explanations for this, with a recent popular one with Paul Thurrott being that the best developers now work in Azure and other cloud ventures, leaving only the least talented to work on a legacy operating system.

Recently Barnacules, an ex-Microsoft developer who famously blogged about being fired by Microsoft with 150 other colleagues, posted a video addressing the quality issues a Microsoft, and his explanation is simpler – that Microsoft firing testers in 2015 meant the end of quality software at the company.
