Windows 10 version 2004 or 20h2

Сегодня вечером был выпущен финальный ISO-образ Windows 10 2004 (20H1). Им стал билд за номером 19041.208.vb_release_svc_im.200416-2050. Образы для разработчиков уже доступны на MSDN

как вскоре и сами знаете где

.

Вместе с ISO-образами было выпущено обновление KB4556803, после установки которого версия ОС становится 19041.264.

Раз образы финальные выпущены, можно и поговорить о том, что нового ждёт пользователей в майском обновлении Windows 10.

Больше контроля над необязательными обновлениями

Центр обновления Windows автоматически устанавливает множество обновлений, но некоторые из них опциональны. Отныне же появилась кнопка, показывающая все необязательные обновления в одном месте.

Тут появятся обновления драйверов, крупные обновления как это майское (которое предположительно начнет распространяться через Центр обновлений Windows 28 мая), ежемесячные и не связанные с безопасностью.

Чтобы найти список необязательных обновлений, перейдите в Параметры → Обновление и безопасность → Центр обновления Windows → Просмотреть необязательные обновления.

«Загрузка из облака» для переустановки Windows 10

Windows 10 получила новую функцию «Загрузка из облака» для возврата компьютера в исходное состояние. Теперь, если перейти в Параметры > Обновление и безопасность > Восстановление, вместо создания загрузочного носителя для переустановки ОС Windows может скачать и установить самую актуальную версию Windows 10.

Регулирование пропускной способности для обновлений Windows

Теперь Параметры предложат больше контроля над пропускной способностью для загрузки обновлений Windows. В текущей версии Windows можно выставить максимальный предел в процентах от доступной пропускной способности. Windows 10 версии 2004 даст возможность установить абсолютный предел пропускной способности для более точного регулирования объема загружаемых обновлений. Ранее эта опция была доступна лишь через групповые политики.
Найти новую функцию можно, перейдя в Параметры → Обновление и безопасность → Оптимизация доставки → Дополнительные параметры.

WSL 2 с ядром Linux

Новая подсистема Windows для Linux (WSL) – пожалуй, самое важное изменение в Windows 10 20H1. Это WSL версии 2, и она гораздо более мощная, чем первая версия. WSL 2 использует реальное ядро Linux, чтобы предоставить полноценное окружение Linux на Windows 10.

Microsoft подготовила свое собственное ядро Linux для WSL 2, которое будет обновляться через Центр обновлений Windows. Пользователи смогут сами собрать свое собственное ядро Linux и использовать его на WSL 2.

В WSL 2 обещают «значительный прирост производительности операций ввода/вывода» и «полную совместимость системных вызовов». Эта совместимость означает поддержку таких технологий как Docker, в отличие от WSL 1, где эта функция была недоступна.

Кроме этого, Microsoft добавила поддержку для устройств ARM64. Иными словами, WSL теперь работает на ПК с архитектурой ARM.

Ускоренный поиск

Microsoft сообщает, что теперь за счет обнаружения пиковых нагрузок ОС сможет оптимизировать работу индексирования.

Поиск в Windows станет работать также быстрее по умолчанию, так как по умолчанию идексирование будет исключать из поиска «папки для разработчиков» вроде .git, .hg, .svn, .Nuget, и прочие. Это скажется на скорости компиляции и синхронизации кода.

Тип диска в Диспетчере задач

Теперь диспетчер задач в Windows 10 отображает тип диска: SSD или HDD. Вы сможете найти эту информацию во вкладке «Производительность».

Температура GPU в Диспетчере задач

Если у вас имеется видеокарта с минимальной версией драйвера WDDM 2.4, в разделе «Производительность» также можно найти данные о GPU. Эта функция работает лишь с внешними видеокартами.

Счетчик FPS Xbox Game Bar

Во время игры нажмите Windows+G, чтобы открыть Game Bar, и вы увидите счетчик кадров.

Вход в Windows без пароля

Чтобы использовать Windows Hello и входить без пароля, перейдите в Параметры → Учетные записи → Варианты входа. Эта настройка позволяет входить по пин-коду, используя распознавание лица (Windows Hello) или по отпечатку пальца.

Переименование виртуальных рабочих столов

Теперь вместо стандартных названий «Рабочий стол 1», «Рабочий стол 2» и т. д. вы можете переименовывать их. Чтобы сделать это, просто нажмите на имя рабочего стола сверху панели Просмотра задач.

Улучшенная страница информации о состоянии сети

Произошел редизайн страницы «Состояние сети»: Параметры → Сеть и Интернет → Состояние. Теперь в верхней части страницы отображаются все доступные сетевые интерфейсы. Microsoft сообщает, что новый дизайн интерфейса «предоставляет больше информации о подключении вашего устройства, объединяя несколько страниц, чтобы дать вам одно четкое представление о том, как вы подключены к интернету». Windows также отображает потребленный трафик по каждому из интерфейсов.

Встроенная поддержка для IP-камер

Windows 10 получила встроенную поддержку IP-камер в локальной сети. Раньше вам понадобилось бы стороннее ПО, чтобы подключиться к таким.

С этим обновлением вы сможете добавить сетевую камеру, перейдя Параметры → Устройства → Bluetooth или другие устройства → Добавление Bluetooth или другого устройства. Если Windows 10 обнаружит в локальной сети поддерживаемую камеру, вы сможете добавить ее в систему одним нажатием.

Для доступа к IP-камерам вам поможет встроенное приложение «Камера». На данный момент заявлена поддержка камер стандарта ONVIF Profile S.

Контроль над перезапуском приложений при входе в систему

После перезапуска ПК Windows 10 автоматически перезапускает много приложений. Теперь появился новый параметр, который позволит легко отключить это.

Перейдите в Параметры → Учетные записи → Варианты входа. Переключите в состояние «Откл.» кнопку «Автоматически сохранять мои перезапускаемые приложения при выходе из системы и перезапускать их после выхода».

Раньше этот параметр был скрыт и объединен с «Использовать мои данные для входа для автоматического завершения настройки устройства и открытия моих приложений после перезапуска или обновления». Теперь это два обособленных параметра.

Очистка диска больше не будет очищать папку «Загрузки»

Microsoft исключила папку «Загрузки» из классической очистки диска. Противники данного пункта говорили, что есть большая вероятность очистить все файлы в данной папке, в особенности, если вы непродвинутый пользователь и не осведомлены, что этот пункт добавили в очистку диска.
Данный пункт переехал в «Память устройства», который располагается в Параметры → Система → Память устройства → Настроить контроль памяти или запустить его.

Paint и WordPad – теперь дополнительные компоненты

Microsoft перенесла Paint и WordPad в разряд «дополнительные компоненты». Они все еще предустанавливаются по умолчанию, но их можно удалять, чтобы освободить немного места. Перейдите в Параметры → Приложения → Приложения и возможности → Дополнительные компоненты, где вы обнаружите Paint и WordPad вместе с остальными дополнительными компонентами такими, как, например, Windows Media Player.

Баннер в приложении «Параметры»

Microsoft экспериментирует с баннером в Параметрах уже давненько и вернула его окончательно в релизе 20H1. Новый баннер появился в верхней части домашней страницы «Параметры», отображая иконку профиля, имя аккаунта и ссылку на редактирование данных учетной записи Microsoft. Также можно увидеть быстрые ссылки на OneDrive и настройки Центра управления обновлениями и информацию об их статусе.

Улучшение сопряжения Bluetooth-устройств

Если поблизости будет обнаружено устройство в режиме сопряжения, вы увидите уведомление с предложением о сопряжении. Весь процесс сопряжения происходит прямо через всплывающее уведомление, без необходимости открывать «Параметры».

Быстрое сопряжение работает пока только с клавиатурами и мышками для Microsoft Surface, но в будущем оно сможет заработать и с остальными устройствами, сделав процесс сопряжения Bluetooth-устройств быстрее.

Индикатор текстового курсора

Теперь вы можете настроить размер и цвет индикатора текстового курсора в Windows 10.
Чтобы ознакомиться с настройкой, перейдите в Параметры → Специальные возможности → Текстовый курсор. Включите «индикатор текстового поля» и выберите размер и цвет курсора.

Функция Drag-and-Drop с помощью движения глаз

У Windows 10 имеется функция Управления глазами при наличии специального устройства для отслеживания движений глаз. Это функция для людей с ограниченными возможностями позволяет управлять ПК с помощью движения глаз. В обновлении «May 2020 Update» эта функция была улучшена: теперь вы можете перетаскивать объекты с помощью мышки движениями глаз.

Обновленная страницы языковых настроек

Теперь страница языковых настроек отображает язык интерфейса Windows по умолчанию, приложений, сайтов, раскладки клавиатуры, распознавание речи и настройки региона.

Переработаны настройки уведомлений

Теперь, когда вам приходит уведомление, появилась опция выключить уведомления для этого приложения или сразу перейти в настройки уведомлений для него.

Улучшения при работе с несколькими мониторами

Windows 10 версии 2004 включает в себя Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 2.7, который улучшает общую игровую производительность, выходной видеосигнал и частоту обновления при использовании нескольких мониторов в связке.

Обновление добавляет поддержку переменной частоты обновления видео ускорителя, которая позволит видеокартам управлять их видеопамятью. Согласно Microsoft, данный параметр должен снизить задержки и улучшить среднюю частоту кадров в играх.

Переменную частоту обновления можно включить, перейдя в Настройки → Система → Дисплей. Microsoft уведомляет, что для работы необходим драйвер Intel 27.20.100.7859 и NVIDIA drivers 450.12 или выше.

AMD еще предстоит выпустить совместимые драйверы для Windows 10 с поддержкой WDDM 2.7, так как ПК с графикой AMD не поддерживают функцию аппаратного ускорения Microsoft.

Улучшена частота обновления и устранены разрывы при использовании нескольких мониторов

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

Обновление снижает разрывы при перемещении окна программы из одного монитора в другой, если у последнего выставлена другая частота обновления.

Для пользователей с одним монитором была исправлена ошибка, когда перемещение второго окна могло вызывать дерганье в игре, запущенной в оконном режиме.

Калькулятор

Добавлена возможность отображать калькулятор поверх остальных окон.

Календарь

Добавлена возможность быстрого добавления события или напоминания прямо с панели задач

Сокращено время на установку функциональных обновлений

Начиная с версии 1703 уменьшается время на установку функциональных обновлений: со средним значением более 80 минут на 1703 до менее 20 минут на версии 2004, перезагружая устройство лишь единожды.

Улучшен контроль над зарезервированным хранилищем

Добавлены новые команды для управления зарезервированным хранилищем

Get-WindowsReservedStorageState
Set-WindowsReservedStorageState -State Disable

Улучшено уведомление об ожидающем установки обновлении

Уведомление о предстоящем обновлении теперь будет появляться в Центре уведомлений, предлагая варианты: «Перезагрузиться прямо сейчас», «Перезагрузиться ночью» и «Выбрать время». Уведомление также напомнит о необходимости подключить ваше устройство к сети питания, чтобы обновление не прервалось.

Прочие нововведения

  • Новые возможности DirectX 12: превью для разработчиков DirectX Raytracing Tier 1.1, DirectX Mesh Shader и другие.

    Настройка скорости курсора мыши: перейдите в Параметры → Устройства → Мышь. Ранее данная настройка располагалась в Панели управления.

  • Раздел дополнительных компонентов получил улучшенный интерфейс:

    Раздел располагается по адресу: Параметры → Приложения → Приложения и возможности. Теперь есть возможность выбрать и установить множество компонентов за раз, а также осуществлять поиск по имеющимся компонентам, отсортировав их по своему усмотрению. Доступен просмотр даты установки каждого компонента и его статус.

  • PowerShell Integrated Script Editor стал дополнительным компонентом, но установлен по умолчанию.

    Hello,

    I have been downloading the Windows 10 updates from @GezoeSloog’s cloud repo,
    and then, I recently seen a new folder with a 20H2 instead of the regular one 2004

    I am now confused :confused: :

    en_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_2004_updated_nov_2020_x64_dvd_d4d1b40c.iso
    or
    en_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_20h2_updated_nov_2020_x64_dvd_7727be28.iso

    So, What is the difference between them.
    Which one should I install?

    TIA.


  2. luzea

    20H2 = Windows 10 October 2020 Update
    2004 = Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    installing from the 2004 ISO will at some day result in a 20H2 installation, because it will be offered as an update on the 2004 installation.

    use the 20H2 ISO.


  3. nosirrahx

    20H2 is 2004 with the new features enabled. Not added mind you, they are already in 2004, 20H2 just has them turned on.

    Thank you guys for all the responses and clarifications.
    So I guess I will go for 20H2, it is an MSFT DDL but I am not sure about its short file name!


  9. luzea

    it’s just a simplified filename as it’s a Techbench download for users who have absolutely no clue what consumer, updated_dec_2020 and such things mean


  10. Deleted member 578156

    What is the difference between windows 2004 and 20H2 really? Security updates, tiny bit of eye candy and a few new features including those for Xbox and Bluetooth devices, other then that it`s basically the same OS, i have been told that some of the new features for Surfaces are impressive but again i haven`t seen them so i can`t relate on that. Oh yeah and the service life of the OS as well.


  11. Deleted member 1385001

    Win10 2004 Build is a 2020 Build of Win10 in Simple
    While
    20H2 = 2004 + Enablement Package [ same as we used it on Win10 2019 Year Build 1903 to be updated to 1909 ]


  12. tomay3000

    The last version I had is 2004, so when I saw this one, I was wondering what this new version is! (it is not like the names I knew before)? and as a non-native English speaker, what the letter H is doing in the version name!?
    So I posted my question, and after the help of @SAM-R, @Enthousiast and @luzea I finally understood that it is.


  13. SAM-R

    The H stands for 1st half of year or 2nd half of year. 20H1 1st half. 20H2 2nd half.

Один и тот же комп, одна и та же сеть.
Ставлю 2004, делаю стандартные настройки — добавить SMB1 в компоненты + 4 настройки в GPedit + включаю Гостя.
Открываю сетевое окружение, разрешаю обнаружение — вуаля, вижу все компы.
Ставлю 20Н2, делаю те же самые настройки.
Открываю сетевое окружение, разрешаю обнаружение — уй к носу, компов не видать (и даже себя), по имени и адресу они не открываются с 45й ошибкой (именно для устранения этой ошибки и делаются предварительные настройки).

Тырнет пока ответов не имеет, там все отсылки еще в 1909. Походу где-то что-то еще мелкомягкие закрыли. Кто подписан на МСДН, посмотрите инфу по релизу?
Или может уже кто нашёл ответ? Готов обменять знания на булькающую субстанцию.

ЗЫ: не утруждайтесь идиотскими ответами, всё-равно скрою. Идите с ними на Городской.

а если не ставить смб1 видно себя?

хм. не пробовал даже. как-то уже на автомате — сразу добавлять smb1, без неё никак в сети.

в свойства сетевого адаптера заглядывал? там все компоненты одинаковые при установке разных версий?

УПД: релиз 2004, прокаченный до релиза 20Н2 уже после настроек (т.е. видящий сеть), так же видит компы в сети.
Видимо пока буду делать так.

УПД: После обновления компы в сети не видны, но отрываются по имени и адресу, шары доступны.
net view не работает — «Служба не запущена». На моём компе (р1909) — работает. Включение ДоменМастера ничего не даёт.

Поставил Н2 уже на десяток компов. Никаких проблем с сетевым доступом не заметил.

Шары все на SMB2? А 7ки с Вёдрами как к ним относятся?

Лояльно.
Включение протокола СМБ1.0/ЦИФС в Н2 никоим образом не влияет на доступность сетевых ресурсов (только количество узлов в обозревателе увеличивается).

Т.е. 7ки и Вёдра жизнерадостно залетают на СМБ2? Надо попробовать.
Сейчас для интереса еще раз чистую 20Н2 поставлю.

update.
сегодня вот ставил win 10 20H2 на новый комп. там предустановленная была 1803 — лениво ее обновлять ;-).
поставил. включил SMB1, включил частную сеть и обнаружение. перегрузилась — открыл сетевое окружение … ругается что не включено обнаружение (проверил в настройках включено) . ну тыкнул ей включить в окошке всплывшем — увидела винда всю сеть включая старые устройства под Хрюшкой и промоборудование старое.
ЗЫ комп не в домене.

непонятное. поставил 20Н2 из МСДНовского образа — сеть по прежнему не видится (т.е. видит только самого себя), но на ресурсы через двойной слеш входит на ура и без установки СМБ1 даже
нифига уже не понимаю.

да включаю. и посмотрел в чистой установке — стоит по умолчанию авто …

Windows 10 is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. It was first released in July 2015.

Channels

Windows 10 Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in three different channels (previously «rings»).[1] Insiders in the Dev Channel (previously Fast Ring) receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel (previously Slow Ring), but might experience more bugs and other issues.[2][3] Insiders in the Release Preview Channel (previously Release Preview Ring) do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public, but are comparatively more stable.[4]

PC version history

Mainstream builds of Windows 10 are labeled «YYMM», with YY representing the two-digit year and MM representing the month of planned release (for example, version 1507 refers to builds which initially released in July 2015). Starting with version 20H2, Windows 10 release nomenclature changed from the year and month pattern to a year and half-year pattern (YYH1, YYH2).[5]

Version 1507 (original release)

Version 1511 (November Update)

The second stable build of Windows 10 is version 1511 (build number 10586), known as the November Update. It was codenamed «Threshold 2» (TH2) during development. This version was distributed via Windows Update on November 12, 2015. It contains various improvements to the operating system, its user interface, bundled services, as well as the introduction of Skype-based universal messaging apps, and the Windows Store for Business and Windows Update for Business features.[6][7][8][9]

On November 21, 2015, the November Update was temporarily pulled from public distribution.[10][11] The upgrade was re-instated on November 24, 2015, with Microsoft stating that the removal was due to a bug that caused privacy and data collection settings to be reset to defaults when installing the upgrade.[12]

Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)

The third stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1607, known as the Anniversary Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 1» (RS1) during development. This version was released on August 2, 2016, a little over one year after the first stable release of Windows 10.[13][14][15][16] The Anniversary Update was originally thought to have been set aside for two feature updates. While both were originally to be released in 2016, the second was moved into 2017 so that it would be released in concert with that year’s wave of Microsoft first-party devices.[17][18][14]

The Anniversary Update introduces new features such as the Windows Ink platform, which eases the ability to add stylus input support to Universal Windows Platform apps and provides a new «Ink Workspace» area with links to pen-oriented apps and features,[19][14] enhancements to Cortana’s proactive functionality,[20] a dark user interface theme mode, a new version of Skype designed to work with the Universal Windows Platform, improvements to Universal Windows Platform intended for video games,[13] and offline scanning using Windows Defender.[21] The Anniversary Update also supports Windows Subsystem for Linux, a new component that provides an environment for running Linux-compatible binary software in an Ubuntu-based user mode environment.[22]

On new installations of Windows 10 on systems with Secure Boot enabled, all kernel-mode drivers issued after July 29, 2015 must be digitally signed with an Extended Validation Certificate issued by Microsoft.[23]

This version is the basis for «LTSB 2016», the first upgrade to the LTSB since Windows 10’s release. The first LTSB release, based on RTM (version 1507), has been retroactively named «LTSB 2015».

Version 1703 (Creators Update)

The fourth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1703, known as the Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 2» (RS2) during development. This version was announced on October 26, 2016,[24][25] and was released for general availability on April 11, 2017,[26][27] and for manual installation via Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and Media Creation Tool tools on April 5, 2017.[28] This update primarily focuses on content creation, productivity, and gaming features—with a particular focus on virtual and augmented reality (including HoloLens and virtual reality headsets) and on aiding the generation of three-dimensional content.

It supports a new virtual reality workspace designed for use with headsets; Microsoft announced that several OEMs planned to release VR headsets designed for use with the Creators Update.[27][26][29]

Controls for the Game Bar and Game DVR feature have moved to the Settings app, while a new «Game Mode» option allows resources to be prioritized towards games.[30] Integration with Microsoft acquisition Mixer (formerly Beam)[31] was added for live streaming.[30] The themes manager moved to Settings app, and custom accent colors are now possible.[30] The new app Paint 3D allows users to produce artwork using 3D models; the app is designed to make 3D creation more accessible to mainstream users.[32]

Windows 10’s privacy settings have more detailed explanations of data that the operating system may collect. Additionally, the «enhanced» level of telemetry collection was removed.[30] Windows Update notifications may now be «snoozed» for a period of time, the «active hours» during which Windows will not try to install updates may now extend up to 18 hours in length, and updates may be paused for up to seven days.[30] Windows Defender has been replaced by the universal app Windows Defender Security Center.[30] Devices may optionally be configured to prevent use of software from outside of Microsoft Store, or warn before installation of apps from outside of Microsoft Store.[33] «Dynamic Lock» allows a device to automatically lock if it is outside of the proximity of a designated Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone.[34] A «Night Light» feature was added, which allows the user to change the color temperature of the display to the red part of the spectrum at specific times of day (similarly to the third-party software f.lux).[35]

Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)

The fifth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1709, known as the Fall Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 3» (RS3) during development. This version was released on October 17, 2017.[36][37][38] Version 1709 introduces a new feature known as «My People», where shortcuts to «important» contacts can be displayed on the taskbar. Notifications involving these contacts appear above their respective pictures, and users can communicate with the contact via either Skype, e-mail, or text messaging (integrating with Android and Windows 10 Mobile devices). Support for additional services, including Xbox, Skype for Business, and third-party integration, are to be added in the future. Files can also be dragged directly to the contact’s picture to share them.[39] My People was originally announced for Creators Update, but was ultimately held over to the next release,[40][41] and made its first public appearance in Build 16184 in late April 2017.[37] A new «Files-on-Demand» feature for OneDrive serves as a partial replacement for the previous «placeholders» function.[42]

It also introduces a new security feature known as «controlled folder access», which can restrict the applications allowed to access specific folders. This feature is designed mainly to defend against file-encrypting ransomware.[43]

Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)

The sixth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1803, known as the April 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 4» (RS4) during development. This version was released as a manual download on April 30, 2018, with a broad rollout on May 8, 2018.[44][45] This update was originally meant to be released on April 10, but was delayed because of a bug which could increase chances of a «Blue Screen of Death» (Stop error).[46]

The most significant feature of this build is Timeline, which is displayed within Task View. It allows users to view a list of recently-used documents and websites from supported applications («activities»). When users consent to Microsoft data collection via Microsoft Graph, activities can also be synchronized from supported Android and iOS devices.[47][48][49][42]

Version 1809 (October 2018 Update)

The seventh stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1809, known as the October 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 5» (RS5) during development. This version was released on October 2, 2018.[50] Highlighted features on this build include updates to the clipboard function (including support for clipboard history and syncing with other devices), SwiftKey virtual keyboard, Snip & Sketch, and File Explorer supporting the dark color scheme mode.[51]

On October 6, 2018, the build was pulled by Microsoft following isolated reports of the update process deleting files from user directories.[52] It was re-released to Windows Insider channel on October 9, with Microsoft citing a bug in OneDrive’s Known Folder Redirection function as the culprit.[53][54]

On November 13, 2018, Microsoft resumed the rollout of 1809 for a small percentage of users.[55][56]

The long term servicing release, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, is based on this version and is equivalent in terms of features.[57]

Version 1903 (May 2019 Update)

The eighth stable build of Windows 10, version 1903, codenamed «19H1«, was released for general availability on May 21, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 8, 2019.[58] Because of new practices introduced after the problems affecting the 1809 update, Microsoft used an intentionally slower Windows Update rollout process.[59][60][61]

New features in the update include a redesigned search tool—separated from Cortana and oriented towards textual queries, a new «Light» theme (set as default on Windows 10 Home) using a white-colored taskbar with dark icons, the addition of symbols and kaomoji to the emoji input menu, the ability to «pause» system updates, automated «Recommended troubleshooting», integration with Google Chrome on Timeline via an extension, support for SMS-based authentication on accounts linked to Microsoft accounts, and the ability to run Windows desktop applications within the Windows Mixed Reality environment (previously restricted to universal apps and SteamVR only). A new feature on Pro, Education, and Enterprise known as Windows Sandbox allows users to run applications within a secured Hyper-V environment.[62][63]

A revamped version of Game Bar was released alongside 1903, which redesigns it into a larger overlay with a performance display, Xbox friends list and social functionality, and audio and streaming settings.[64]

Version 1909 (November 2019 Update)

The ninth stable build of Windows 10, version 1909, codenamed «19H2«, was released to the public on November 12, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since August 26, 2019.[65] Unlike previous updates, this one was released as a minor service update without major new features.[66]

Version 2004 (May 2020 Update)

The tenth stable build of Windows 10, version 2004, codenamed «20H1«, was released to the public on May 27, 2020 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 16, 2020.[67] New features included faster and easier access to Bluetooth settings and pairing, improved Kaomojis, renamable virtual desktops, DirectX12 Ultimate, a chat-based UI for Cortana, greater integration with Android phones on the Your Phone app, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2), and WSL 2 version includes a custom Linux kernel, unlike older WSL, the ability to use Windows Hello without the need for a password, improved Windows Search with integration with File Explorer, a cloud download option to reset Windows, accessibility improvements, and the ability to view disk drive type and discrete graphics card temperatures in Task Manager.[68][69]

Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update)

The eleventh stable build of Windows 10, version 20H2, was released to the public on October 20, 2020 after being on the Beta Channel since June 16, 2020.[70] New features include new theme-aware tiles in the Start Menu, new features and improvements to Microsoft Edge (such as a price comparison tool, Alt+Tab ↹ integration for tab switching, and easy access to pinned tabs), a new out-of-box experience with more personalization for the taskbar, notifications improvements, improvements to tablet mode, improvements to Modern Device Management, and the move of the System tab in Control Panel to the About page in Settings. This is the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Chromium-based Edge browser by default.[71][72][73]

Version 21H1 (May 2021 Update)

The Windows 10 May 2021 Update[74] (codenamed «21H1»[75]) is the twelfth stable build for Windows 10. It carries the build number 10.0.19043. The first preview was released to Insiders who opted in to Beta Channel on February 17, 2021.[76] The update began rolling out on May 18, 2021.[77] Notable changes in the May 2021 Update include:[78]

  • New «News and Interests» feature on the taskbar
  • Performance improvements to Windows Defender Application Guard and WMI Group Policy Service

The update reached end of service after the release of build 19043.2364 on December 13, 2022.[79][80]

Windows 10 is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Microsoft described Windows 10 as an «operating system as a service» that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality, augmented with the ability for enterprise environments to receive non-critical updates at a slower pace or use long-term support milestones that will only receive critical updates, such as security patches, over their five-year lifespan of mainstream support. It was first released in July 2015.

Channels

Windows 10 Insider Preview builds are delivered to Insiders in three different channels (previously «rings»).[1] Insiders in the Dev Channel (previously Fast Ring) receive updates prior to those in the Beta Channel (previously Slow Ring), but might experience more bugs and other issues.[2][3] Insiders in the Release Preview Channel (previously Release Preview Ring) do not receive updates until the version is almost available to the public, but are comparatively more stable.[4]

PC version history

Mainstream builds of Windows 10 are labeled «YYMM», with YY representing the two-digit year and MM representing the month of planned release (for example, version 1507 refers to builds which initially released in July 2015). Starting with version 20H2, Windows 10 release nomenclature changed from the year and month pattern to a year and half-year pattern (YYH1, YYH2).[5]

Version 1507 (original release)

Version 1511 (November Update)

The second stable build of Windows 10 is version 1511 (build number 10586), known as the November Update. It was codenamed «Threshold 2» (TH2) during development. This version was distributed via Windows Update on November 12, 2015. It contains various improvements to the operating system, its user interface, bundled services, as well as the introduction of Skype-based universal messaging apps, and the Windows Store for Business and Windows Update for Business features.[6][7][8][9]

On November 21, 2015, the November Update was temporarily pulled from public distribution.[10][11] The upgrade was re-instated on November 24, 2015, with Microsoft stating that the removal was due to a bug that caused privacy and data collection settings to be reset to defaults when installing the upgrade.[12]

Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)

The third stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1607, known as the Anniversary Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 1» (RS1) during development. This version was released on August 2, 2016, a little over one year after the first stable release of Windows 10.[13][14][15][16] The Anniversary Update was originally thought to have been set aside for two feature updates. While both were originally to be released in 2016, the second was moved into 2017 so that it would be released in concert with that year’s wave of Microsoft first-party devices.[17][18][14]

The Anniversary Update introduces new features such as the Windows Ink platform, which eases the ability to add stylus input support to Universal Windows Platform apps and provides a new «Ink Workspace» area with links to pen-oriented apps and features,[19][14] enhancements to Cortana’s proactive functionality,[20] a dark user interface theme mode, a new version of Skype designed to work with the Universal Windows Platform, improvements to Universal Windows Platform intended for video games,[13] and offline scanning using Windows Defender.[21] The Anniversary Update also supports Windows Subsystem for Linux, a new component that provides an environment for running Linux-compatible binary software in an Ubuntu-based user mode environment.[22]

On new installations of Windows 10 on systems with Secure Boot enabled, all kernel-mode drivers issued after July 29, 2015 must be digitally signed with an Extended Validation Certificate issued by Microsoft.[23]

This version is the basis for «LTSB 2016», the first upgrade to the LTSB since Windows 10’s release. The first LTSB release, based on RTM (version 1507), has been retroactively named «LTSB 2015».

Version 1703 (Creators Update)

The fourth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1703, known as the Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 2» (RS2) during development. This version was announced on October 26, 2016,[24][25] and was released for general availability on April 11, 2017,[26][27] and for manual installation via Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and Media Creation Tool tools on April 5, 2017.[28] This update primarily focuses on content creation, productivity, and gaming features—with a particular focus on virtual and augmented reality (including HoloLens and virtual reality headsets) and on aiding the generation of three-dimensional content.

It supports a new virtual reality workspace designed for use with headsets; Microsoft announced that several OEMs planned to release VR headsets designed for use with the Creators Update.[27][26][29]

Controls for the Game Bar and Game DVR feature have moved to the Settings app, while a new «Game Mode» option allows resources to be prioritized towards games.[30] Integration with Microsoft acquisition Mixer (formerly Beam)[31] was added for live streaming.[30] The themes manager moved to Settings app, and custom accent colors are now possible.[30] The new app Paint 3D allows users to produce artwork using 3D models; the app is designed to make 3D creation more accessible to mainstream users.[32]

Windows 10’s privacy settings have more detailed explanations of data that the operating system may collect. Additionally, the «enhanced» level of telemetry collection was removed.[30] Windows Update notifications may now be «snoozed» for a period of time, the «active hours» during which Windows will not try to install updates may now extend up to 18 hours in length, and updates may be paused for up to seven days.[30] Windows Defender has been replaced by the universal app Windows Defender Security Center.[30] Devices may optionally be configured to prevent use of software from outside of Microsoft Store, or warn before installation of apps from outside of Microsoft Store.[33] «Dynamic Lock» allows a device to automatically lock if it is outside of the proximity of a designated Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone.[34] A «Night Light» feature was added, which allows the user to change the color temperature of the display to the red part of the spectrum at specific times of day (similarly to the third-party software f.lux).[35]

Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)

The fifth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1709, known as the Fall Creators Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 3» (RS3) during development. This version was released on October 17, 2017.[36][37][38] Version 1709 introduces a new feature known as «My People», where shortcuts to «important» contacts can be displayed on the taskbar. Notifications involving these contacts appear above their respective pictures, and users can communicate with the contact via either Skype, e-mail, or text messaging (integrating with Android and Windows 10 Mobile devices). Support for additional services, including Xbox, Skype for Business, and third-party integration, are to be added in the future. Files can also be dragged directly to the contact’s picture to share them.[39] My People was originally announced for Creators Update, but was ultimately held over to the next release,[40][41] and made its first public appearance in Build 16184 in late April 2017.[37] A new «Files-on-Demand» feature for OneDrive serves as a partial replacement for the previous «placeholders» function.[42]

It also introduces a new security feature known as «controlled folder access», which can restrict the applications allowed to access specific folders. This feature is designed mainly to defend against file-encrypting ransomware.[43]

Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)

The sixth stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1803, known as the April 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 4» (RS4) during development. This version was released as a manual download on April 30, 2018, with a broad rollout on May 8, 2018.[44][45] This update was originally meant to be released on April 10, but was delayed because of a bug which could increase chances of a «Blue Screen of Death» (Stop error).[46]

The most significant feature of this build is Timeline, which is displayed within Task View. It allows users to view a list of recently-used documents and websites from supported applications («activities»). When users consent to Microsoft data collection via Microsoft Graph, activities can also be synchronized from supported Android and iOS devices.[47][48][49][42]

Version 1809 (October 2018 Update)

The seventh stable build of Windows 10 is called version 1809, known as the October 2018 Update. It was codenamed «Redstone 5» (RS5) during development. This version was released on October 2, 2018.[50] Highlighted features on this build include updates to the clipboard function (including support for clipboard history and syncing with other devices), SwiftKey virtual keyboard, Snip & Sketch, and File Explorer supporting the dark color scheme mode.[51]

On October 6, 2018, the build was pulled by Microsoft following isolated reports of the update process deleting files from user directories.[52] It was re-released to Windows Insider channel on October 9, with Microsoft citing a bug in OneDrive’s Known Folder Redirection function as the culprit.[53][54]

On November 13, 2018, Microsoft resumed the rollout of 1809 for a small percentage of users.[55][56]

The long term servicing release, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, is based on this version and is equivalent in terms of features.[57]

Version 1903 (May 2019 Update)

The eighth stable build of Windows 10, version 1903, codenamed «19H1«, was released for general availability on May 21, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 8, 2019.[58] Because of new practices introduced after the problems affecting the 1809 update, Microsoft used an intentionally slower Windows Update rollout process.[59][60][61]

New features in the update include a redesigned search tool—separated from Cortana and oriented towards textual queries, a new «Light» theme (set as default on Windows 10 Home) using a white-colored taskbar with dark icons, the addition of symbols and kaomoji to the emoji input menu, the ability to «pause» system updates, automated «Recommended troubleshooting», integration with Google Chrome on Timeline via an extension, support for SMS-based authentication on accounts linked to Microsoft accounts, and the ability to run Windows desktop applications within the Windows Mixed Reality environment (previously restricted to universal apps and SteamVR only). A new feature on Pro, Education, and Enterprise known as Windows Sandbox allows users to run applications within a secured Hyper-V environment.[62][63]

A revamped version of Game Bar was released alongside 1903, which redesigns it into a larger overlay with a performance display, Xbox friends list and social functionality, and audio and streaming settings.[64]

Version 1909 (November 2019 Update)

The ninth stable build of Windows 10, version 1909, codenamed «19H2«, was released to the public on November 12, 2019 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since August 26, 2019.[65] Unlike previous updates, this one was released as a minor service update without major new features.[66]

Version 2004 (May 2020 Update)

The tenth stable build of Windows 10, version 2004, codenamed «20H1«, was released to the public on May 27, 2020 after being on the Insider Release Preview branch since April 16, 2020.[67] New features included faster and easier access to Bluetooth settings and pairing, improved Kaomojis, renamable virtual desktops, DirectX12 Ultimate, a chat-based UI for Cortana, greater integration with Android phones on the Your Phone app, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2), and WSL 2 version includes a custom Linux kernel, unlike older WSL, the ability to use Windows Hello without the need for a password, improved Windows Search with integration with File Explorer, a cloud download option to reset Windows, accessibility improvements, and the ability to view disk drive type and discrete graphics card temperatures in Task Manager.[68][69]

Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update)

The eleventh stable build of Windows 10, version 20H2, was released to the public on October 20, 2020 after being on the Beta Channel since June 16, 2020.[70] New features include new theme-aware tiles in the Start Menu, new features and improvements to Microsoft Edge (such as a price comparison tool, Alt+Tab ↹ integration for tab switching, and easy access to pinned tabs), a new out-of-box experience with more personalization for the taskbar, notifications improvements, improvements to tablet mode, improvements to Modern Device Management, and the move of the System tab in Control Panel to the About page in Settings. This is the first version of Windows 10 to include the new Chromium-based Edge browser by default.[71][72][73]

Version 21H1 (May 2021 Update)

The Windows 10 May 2021 Update[74] (codenamed «21H1»[75]) is the twelfth stable build for Windows 10. It carries the build number 10.0.19043. The first preview was released to Insiders who opted in to Beta Channel on February 17, 2021.[76] The update began rolling out on May 18, 2021.[77] Notable changes in the May 2021 Update include:[78]

  • Added multi-camera support for Windows Hello
  • New «News and Interests» feature on the taskbar
  • Performance improvements to Windows Defender Application Guard and WMI Group Policy Service

The update reached end of service after the release of build 19043.2364 on December 13, 2022.[79][80]
