However, this doesn’t mean that devices will be getting new feature updates every December and June. The schedule only reflects when Microsoft considers a new update complete, and then it shifts to testing and fixing bugs before shipping the final release to every device. Once a new version of Windows 10 is complete, it usually takes a couple months before it starts rolling out to compatible devices. Although the new schedule will continue to offer two feature updates every year, and users won’t see any difference, now that the schedule is changing, it’s possible that Microsoft could change the version number scheme from 03 (March) and 09 (September) to 06 (June) and 12 (December). As a result, we could be seeing the 20H1 update using the 1912 version number and the 20H2 update using the 2006 version number. If the new schedule change ends up to be true, then it means that Microsoft is pretty much done adding feature to the Windows 10 20H1, and users can expect the update to be finalized in mid-December. According to the report, the company already marked the update as feature-complete internally in August. Furthermore, with the 20H1 (Vibranium) development complete, Microsoft has already started working on the 20H2 (Manganese) update, and participants of the Windows Insider Program will start receiving builds for the next version shortly. Knowing that the 20H2 development will be complete in June also indicates that Windows 10X will be ready on time as well. Windows 10X is the operating system that is going to power dual-screen and foldable devices, including for laptops. All content on this site is provided with no warranties, express or implied.
