New Upcoming Update in Microsoft Window 10

Microsoft is working on two updates in Microsoft Windows 10. Update 21H1 will debut in the first half of 2021 and include some major features that require significant testing. It will follow the 20H2 update this fall, which focuses on stability and polish.

This article is up to date with the latest Windows 10 updates  Insider build 2019, which was released on Dec 7, 2020.

No guarantee!

First a quick note: Microsoft makes no guarantees that these features will appear in the final version of 21H1. They’re currently in development based on what the 21H1 update will be, but Microsoft may take those features and spend more time working on them – or never release them.

Likewise, some of these features may even reach Update 20H2 in Fall 2020. Some of the current features of Update 20H2 may appear in Update 21H1. The development process for Windows 10 has become fluid now that Microsoft is working alongside multiple versions.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at what Microsoft is working on. Update 21H1 includes everything added to Windows 10 update 20H2 as well as the features below.

DNS configuration in the Settings application
With the Windows 10 settings app, you can now configure DNS servers and DoH settings. The previous setup of a custom DNS server required you to visit the Classic Control Panel.

With one of the DoH-compatible DNS servers that Microsoft Lists is configured here, you can enable encrypted DNS over HTTPS. In the current test version, it works with DNS servers from Cloudflare, Google, and Quad9.

Windows 10, what to expect in 2021 on Microsoft’s OS.

NOVEMBER 26, 2020 BY NINO GRASSO

2020 hasn’t brought huge changes to Windows 10, except for a cleaner Start menu and other minor news. In contrast, in 2021 we got to see a lot of news based on Microsoft’s roadmap and rumors gathered by Zac Bowden and published This article.

In 2020, Panos Panay was added to the leadership of the “User experience” part of Windows 10, precisely with the aim of implementing major changes in the operating system in terms of user experience.

News on Windows 10, Windows 10X … and Cloud PC
The first piece of news, not yet described in detail, of Panay’s new mission, will arrive in 2021, presumably with the second update of the year scheduled between September and October. Among these, we should see a new user Interface redesigned to be more modern and consistent between the different elements (real Achilles heel of Windows 10).

Microsoft is expected to release two updated features in Microsoft Window 10 in 2021 but, contrary to the company’s usual roadmap, the second half of the year will be the most important. Windows 10 21H1 will be a service update, with several implementations that will serve as the basis for features to come with the next update, while Windows 10 21H2 will allow all news and will be considered the most important update. from 2021.

During the year, a new emulation system will emerge that will allow 64-bit x86 applications to run on Windows on ARM, after a beta testing period expected to begin shortly. Microsoft would like to even bring Android apps to the Microsoft Store at the end of 2021, but this plan seems rather ambitious (but not impossible) to us.

One of the biggest newcomers to Microsoft’s platform for 2021 is expected to be the official launch of Windows 10X, a project the company has been working on for the past few years. It is a light version of the operating system with a modern interface, designed for low-to-midrange systems or dual-screen systems (also foldable). The first Windows 10X RTM is expected to arrive as early as December 2019, but its release to the public is slated for spring 2021.

Windows 10X is expected to be implemented on laptops and systems in general that will compete with Chromebooks, it will not natively support Win32 applications but should be distributed with Cloud PC streaming service support, which will allow you to run any type of streaming application from a remote server. Unlike Chrome OS, Windows 10X is expected to provide high levels of security, battery life, and performance, with the addition of support for Windows applications. Support for Win32 applications will also be added in the future, but that certainly won’t happen until 2022.

Cloud PC will be one of the more exciting news from Microsoft in 2021. The company plans to release the new cloud streaming service that allows you to run an instance of the operating system remotely, in which the user can install any application and stream it to a PC. This will allow you to use applications without consuming space on the local storage drive or run heavy applications remotely without sacrificing local computer performance.

Thanks to Cloud PC, as we have written, Windows 10X will have the ability to run Win32 applications, even if not natively. On both platforms, the Cloud PC will be an integrated service that will synchronize with the Microsoft 365 subscription: if you install an application on the Cloud PC, it will be inserted in the Start menu of the local system as if it had been installed. in its storage unit.

Has Microsoft decided to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

No, quite the contrary! In effect, this means that there will no longer be a big Windows 10 update, just small updates over the months and years. Gone are the great masses and numbers. We’re going to lose spectacularly but we should gain inefficiency. This is not the end of Windows. It looks a bit like what Apple is doing with MacOS X, whose “core” has been the same for years and for which successive updates bring new functions. So that shouldn’t change much. This is all just marketing.

What is commercial interest?

It’s about spreading the idea that Windows is no longer a piece of software you buy once and for all, but a service that evolves over the years. This illustrates a real strategic turning point on the part of Microsoft, a turning point already started with the Office office suite. In the face of competition from Mac and Android, this is a way for Microsoft to maintain its income. Windows should cost less and less. Some important updates will undoubtedly be free and others will be chargeable, especially for professionals. This is the way Microsoft has chosen to achieve its goal of equipping 1 billion devices with Windows 10 by 2018.

Microsoft is preparing Windows 10 interface overhaul: update to arrive sometime in 2021, according to Windows Central

Over the years, the design of Windows 10 has evolved and re-evolved. A design that normally implements small changes in different parts of the system to adapt to user needs and changes. We saw a recent example with the new Start menu. New indications suggest that Microsoft is planning a major overhaul of the Windows 10 interface, and should arrive in the next year.

As Windows Central has learned, the 2021 update for Windows 10 will bring a significant update to the operating system’s interface design. This overhaul involves changes to the Start menu (again?), Action Center, or File Explorer among others. What changes? It’s going to be difficult for Microsoft to completely let go of its flat style and solid colors, but we can see different animations, rearranging of elements, and new functions.

The new keyboard is one example of these expected changes for the Windows 10 interface.
The changes most related to animations and placement of objects to make the experience more fluid and comfortable. An example of this is the new touchscreen keyboard with emojis, GIFs, and more that’s already showing up in beta versions.

Finally, Microsoft should add dark mode to more parts of the operating system, as well as subtle changes to the rest of the interface to make it more consistent. Either way, we’ll have to wait and see any official news or beta changes to better understand what this potential overhaul is all about.

‘Sun Valley’, fall 2021
The project under the code name ‘Sun Valley’ is expected to roll out with the Microsoft Window 10 update in 2021. This change comes at a time when there are more and more Windows 10 devices other than a traditional computer, such as hybrids and touch or dual screens. Also after Apple introduced its updated interface in macOS Big Sur last June.
