Какой windows был в 2015 году

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microsoft Windows is a computer operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first launched in 1985 as a graphical operating system built on MS-DOS. The initial version was followed by several subsequent releases, and by the early 1990s, the Windows line had split into two separate lines of releases: Windows 9x for consumers and Windows NT for businesses and enterprises. In the following years, several further variants of Windows would be released: Windows CE in 1996 for embedded systems; Pocket PC in 2000 (renamed to Windows Mobile in 2003 and Windows Phone in 2010) for personal digital assistants and, later, smartphones; Windows Holographic in 2016 for AR/VR headsets; and several other editions.

Personal computer versions[edit]

A «personal computer» version of Windows is considered to be a version that end-users or OEMs can install on personal computers, including desktop computers, laptops, and workstations.

The first five versions of Windows–Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows 2.1, Windows 3.0, and Windows 3.1–were all based on MS-DOS, and were aimed at both consumers and businesses. However, Windows 3.1 had two separate successors, splitting the Windows line in two: the consumer-focused «Windows 9x» line, consisting of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me; and the professional Windows NT line, comprising Windows NT 3.1, Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. These two lines were reunited into a single line with the NT-based Windows XP; this Windows release succeeded both Windows Me and Windows 2000 and had separate editions for consumer and professional use. Since Windows XP, multiple further versions of Windows have been released, the most recent of which is Windows 11.

Device versions[edit]

ARM-based tablets[edit]

In 2012 and 2013, Microsoft released versions of Windows specially designed to run on ARM-based tablets; these versions of Windows were based on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, respectively, although the standard versions could run on x86-based tablets without modification. Upon the release of Windows 10 in 2015, the ARM-specific version for large tablets was discontinued; large tablets (such as the Surface Pro 4) were only released with x86 processors and could run the full version of Windows 10. Windows 10 Mobile had the ability to be installed on smaller tablets (up to nine inches);^[24] however, very few such tablets were released, and Windows 10 Mobile primarily ended up only running on smartphones until its discontinuation. In 2017, the full version of Windows 10 gained the ability to run on ARM, which rendered a specific version of Windows for ARM-based tablets unnecessary.

Both projects faced delays; Longhorn would go on to be released to consumers as «Windows Vista» in January 2007, while development on Blackcomb continued until the Blackcomb project was renamed «Vienna» in early 2006.
Vienna	—	2007-07[u]	—	—	Vienna replaced Blackcomb and was intended as Windows Vista’s successor. Vienna was eventually cancelled in favor of a new project codenamed «Windows 7» (which went on to be released in 2009 with the same name).

In May 2020, Microsoft announced that Windows 10X would instead be launching on single-screen PCs, such as laptops and 2-in-1 devices, first.[33] However, on May 18, 2021, Microsoft announced that Windows 10X would not be launching (at least not in 2021); many of its features were rolled into Windows 11 instead.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microsoft Windows is a computer operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first launched in 1985 as a graphical operating system built on MS-DOS. The initial version was followed by several subsequent releases, and by the early 1990s, the Windows line had split into two separate lines of releases: Windows 9x for consumers and Windows NT for businesses and enterprises. In the following years, several further variants of Windows would be released: Windows CE in 1996 for embedded systems; Pocket PC in 2000 (renamed to Windows Mobile in 2003 and Windows Phone in 2010) for personal digital assistants and, later, smartphones; Windows Holographic in 2016 for AR/VR headsets; and several other editions.

Personal computer versions[edit]

A «personal computer» version of Windows is considered to be a version that end-users or OEMs can install on personal computers, including desktop computers, laptops, and workstations.

The first five versions of Windows–Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows 2.1, Windows 3.0, and Windows 3.1–were all based on MS-DOS, and were aimed at both consumers and businesses. However, Windows 3.1 had two separate successors, splitting the Windows line in two: the consumer-focused «Windows 9x» line, consisting of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me; and the professional Windows NT line, comprising Windows NT 3.1, Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. These two lines were reunited into a single line with the NT-based Windows XP; this Windows release succeeded both Windows Me and Windows 2000 and had separate editions for consumer and professional use.

Device versions[edit]

ARM-based tablets[edit]

In 2012 and 2013, Microsoft released versions of Windows specially designed to run on ARM-based tablets; these versions of Windows were based on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, respectively, although the standard versions could run on x86-based tablets without modification. Upon the release of Windows 10 in 2015, the ARM-specific version for large tablets was discontinued; large tablets (such as the Surface Pro 4) were only released with x86 processors and could run the full version of Windows 10. Windows 10 Mobile had the ability to be installed on smaller tablets (up to nine inches);^[24] however, very few such tablets were released, and Windows 10 Mobile primarily ended up only running on smartphones until its discontinuation. In 2017, the full version of Windows 10 gained the ability to run on ARM, which rendered a specific version of Windows for ARM-based tablets unnecessary.

Name	Release date	Version number	Build number	Based on
Windows RT	2012-10-26	NT 6.2	9200	Windows 8
Windows RT 8.1	2013-10-18	NT 6.3	9600	Windows 8.1

Codename	Intended name	Discontinuation	Version	Latest known build number	Notes
Cairo	—	1996	NT 4.0	1175	Originally announced in 1991
Nashville[t]	Windows 96	—	4.1	999	Planned to be released between Windows 95 and Windows 98
Neptune	—	Early 2000	NT 5.50	5111	The first planned version of Microsoft Windows NT to have a consumer edition variant, based on the Windows 2000 codebase. A version was sent out to testers but was never released.[28] The teams working on Neptune and Odyssey combined to work on Windows XP.
Odyssey	—	Early 2000	NT 6.0[29]	—	Planned to be the successor of Windows 2000. The teams working on Neptune and Odyssey combined to work on Windows XP.
Triton	—	—	—	—	Planned to be the successor of Windows Neptune and had been scheduled to be released in March 2001
Blackcomb	—	2006-01	—	—	Blackcomb was originally planned to be a release of Windows following Windows XP. However, due to the large feature scope planned for Blackcomb, a smaller release codenamed «Longhorn» was planned first, and Blackcomb was delayed to 2003/2004. Both projects faced delays; Longhorn would go on to be released to consumers as «Windows Vista» in January 2007, while development on Blackcomb continued until the Blackcomb project was renamed «Vienna» in early 2006.
Vienna	—	2007-07[u]	—	—	Vienna replaced Blackcomb and was intended as Windows Vista’s successor. Vienna was eventually cancelled in favor of a new project codenamed «Windows 7» (which went on to be released in 2009 with the same name).
Polaris	—	2018	—	16299	Cancelled in favor of Santorini
Santorini[v]	Windows 10X	2021-05-18[w][31]	21H1	20279	Microsoft had been reported as working on a new «lite» version of Windows as early as December 2018.[32] Such a version was officially announced under the name «Windows 10X» at an event in October 2019; the operating system was intended to first launch on dual-screen devices. In May 2020, Microsoft announced that Windows 10X would instead be launching on single-screen PCs, such as laptops and 2-in-1 devices, first.[33] However, on May 18, 2021, Microsoft announced that Windows 10X would not be launching (at least not in 2021); many of its features were rolled into Windows 11 instead.

Cancelled mobile versions[edit]

Codename	Intended name	Discontinuation	Notes
Photon	Windows Mobile 7	September 2008[34]	Originally a successor of Windows Mobile, it had been scrapped for Windows Phone 7[35][36]
Phoenix	—	Early 2017	Cancelled when Microsoft «wound down» its phone efforts.[37]
Andromeda	—	Mid-2018	Much of the work that was put into Andromeda was migrated into Santorini. The Surface Duo, a dual-screen Android-powered smartphone launched by Microsoft in 2020, was loosely based on the prototype hardware that had been used to test Andromeda.[38]

* несмотря на провал некоторых версий операционной системы, они несли новые функции, которые перешли в уже успешные версии. Например, в миллениум появились красивые иконки и окна, которые перешли в Windows 2000. Поэтому провал не стоит оценивать, как неудачную работу.

В статье будет описано развитие Windows, вкратце рассмотрим версии Windows от 1 до 10. А также я расскажу про внутреннюю нумерацию Windows.

Windows 1

Она была выпущена в 1985 году. Это была не самостоятельная операционная система, а графический интерфейс для MS-DOS. В этом графическом интерфейсе впервые появилась возможность использовать мышку.

Для обучения пользователей работе с мышкой была создана игра Reversi:

Системные требования для этой версии были следующими:

• процессор 8088 (16 битный процессор Intel от 5 до 16 МГц);
• оперативная память – 256 КБ;
• MS DOS – 2 версии;
• 2 дисковода для гибких дисков, или жесткий диск.

Дистрибутив распространялся на 6 гибких дисках.

А вот так она рекламировалась:

Windows 2.0 и Windows 3.0

Дальше выходили Windows 2.0 и Windows 3.0. В этих обновлениях появились:

• диспетчер программ;
• файловый менеджер;
• панель управления;
• игры “Солитер” и “Сапёр“;
• программы “Word” и “Excel“;
• система перекрывающих друг друга окон;
• возможность управления системой с помощью горячих клавиш;
• буфер обмена для приложений;
• реестр (пока только с одной веткой) и инструмент regedit для его редактирования.

Windows 3 поддерживал 256 цветов.

Эти три версии были 16 битными. В дальнейшим Windows пошла развиваться по двум направлениям. 32 битные системы с ядром от MS-DOS – линейка 9.x. И системы с совершенно новым ядром – линейка NT.

Windows 3.1 и Windows 3.5 (NT)

В 1993 году была выпущена совершенно новая система на базе ядра NT. Это первая полноценная операционная система Windows, а не графическая оболочка. Эта система поддерживала работу с сетью и использовала файловую систему NTFS. Также в этом году была выпущена серверная операционная система Windows NT 3.1 Advanced Server. Уже через год выпустили Windows 3.5 она стала поддерживать:

• Winsock и TCP/IP;
• DHCP и WINS;
• общий доступ к файлам и принтерам;
• файловую систему VFAT.

Также в этом году была выпущена серверная версия системы Windows NT 3.5 Server.

Windows 95 (9.x)

В 1995 году вышла Windows 95. Это была уже новая линейка Windows 9.x. В её основе был тот же MS-DOS, но система была 32 разрядная. В этой версии уже появился рабочий стол, меню пуск, иконки на рабочем столе, панель задач и браузер Internet Explorer.

Windows 4.0 (NT)

Дальше была выпущена Windows 4.0 в 1996 году. Эта версия позаимствовала интерфейс в стиле Windows 95. К этой версии был привязан выпуск серверной операционной системы Windows NT 4.0 Server.

На скриншоте выше показан Service Pack 6, который вышел в 2001 году.

А вот так выглядела “Панель управления“:

Windows 98 (9.x)

В 1998 году выпустили Windows 98. Она была намного надежнее чем Windows 95, получила улучшенный графический интерфейс и обновленную файловую систему FAT32.

Windows ME (9.x)

В 2000 году Microsoft выпустила сразу две версии операционной системы, а именно Windows ME и Windows 2000.

Windows ME относилась к линейке 9.x, в ней появилась возможность восстановления системы, защита системных файлов, автоматическое обновление, спящий режим и многое другое. Но Windows ME была самой раскритикованной системой так как была нестабильна в работе.

Windows 2000 (NT)

А вот Windows 2000 была на базе ядра NT. Эта система получила графический интерфейс от Windows 98. Также именно в этой версии появилась поддержка Active Directory. Обновилась файловая система NTFS 3.0 и появилась поддержка файловой системы EFS для шифрования файлов и каталогов. Также функции из ME были введены и в эту версию: спящий режим, автоматические обновления, восстановление системы и другое.

К этой версии был привязан выпуск серверной версии Windows 2000 Server.

Windows XP (NT)

Уже через год в 2001 году выпустили триумфальную Windows XP. Все последующие версии были только на базе ядра NT, а линейка 9.x закончила свое существование. Эта система получила:

• новое оформление графического интерфейса, более округлые формы;
• появилось сглаживание текста;
• возможность быстрого переключения между пользователями;
• функция «Удаленный помощник», для подключения к системе по сети;
• восстановление системы и точки восстановления;
• поддержку архивов ZIP и CAB без необходимости устанавливать сторонние программы.

Через два года в 2003 году была выпущена серверная версия Windows Server 2003, эта система использовала более новое ядро чем Windows XP, поэтому нельзя считать их совместимыми. Дальше была выпущена в 2005 году Windows Server 2003 R2.

Windows Vista (NT)

В 2007 году появилась на свет Windows Vista. Но эта система не была принята пользователями и заняла первое место в конкурсе «Провал года». Система имела проблемы с быстродействием и потребляла слишком много ресурсов. В этой системе была улучшена подсистема управления памятью и вводом/выводом, появился режим гибернации и изменился пользовательский интерфейс. К этому выпуску, но уже в 2008 году была выпущена серверная Windows Server 2008.

Windows 7 (NT)

В 2009 году вышла Windows 7. В этой системе попытались устранить все ошибки Windows Vista, система стала стабильнее работать со старыми приложениями, написанными для Windows XP. Графический интерфейс был доработан. Была проделана большая работа для интеграции драйверов, в этой системе многое оборудование определяется и работает автоматически. Эта система пришлась по вкусу многим пользователям и про Windows Vista скоро забыли. Эта система стала поддерживать Unicode, для неё была выпущена 11 версия DirectX, WindowsMediaPlayer 12 поддерживал разнообразные типы мультимедиа без установки кодеков и многое другое. В этом же 2009 году была выпущена серверная Windows Server 2008 R2.

Windows 8 и Windows 8.1 (NT)

В 2012 году была выпущена Windows 8. Эта система получила совершенно новый «плиточный» интерфейс, более подходящий для планшетов. Исчезла кнопка «Пуск». Появился магазин приложений Windows Store. Также был значительно улучшен диспетчер задач.

Но система не понравилась пользователям, которые хотели вернуть привычный рабочий стол и меню «Пуск». И уже в 2013 году компании пришлось выпустить Windows 8.1, в котором вернули кнопку «Пуск» и возможность работать с привычным рабочим столом. Также появилась возможность менять размер плиткам.

В версиях Windows 8 и 8.1 появилась возможность создавать учетную запись Microsoft и заходить в систему под этой учетной записью. При этом персональные настройки пользователя хранятся в интернете и пользователь может переустановив систему, не создавать нового пользователя, а войти используя учетную запись Microsoft со всеми сохраненными настройками. Серверные аналоги этих систем:

• Windows 8 — Windows Server 2012 — 2012 год;
• Windows 8.1 — Windows Server 2012 R2 — 2013 год.

Windows 10

В 2015 году была выпущена Windows 10. И Microsoft официально заявили что новых версий Windows не будет. Вместо этого для Windows 10 будут выпускать большие обновления, называемые сборками. Версия сборки состоит из двух последних цифр года и двух цифр месяца, например сборка 1809 — означает сентябрьская версия 2018 года. А вот серверные системы продолжают увеличивать номера своих версий:

• Windows Server 2016 основан на Windows 10 (сборка 1607);
• Windows Server 2019 основан на Windows 10 (сборка 1809).

На данный момент последняя версия Windows – это 2004:

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]
