The new update for Windows 10, which will be released soon, will be called May 2019 Update, and according to a Microsoft announcement, it will bring significant changes that will fix the problems that existed in the failed version 1809 of Windows 10.
The October 2018 Update, or version 1809, was released, but after bugs were discovered that put user data at risk, it was withdrawn and then another version was released to replace it. However, the second version also came with vulnerabilities, so it was also withdrawn.
After all this, in an effort to restore its image, Microsoft will bring the new version (May 2019), which promises to fix previous bugs but also improve the overall experience with Windows 10.
The Insider ring won't be skipped again
When Windows 10 1809 was released, Microsoft skipped the Release Preview ring of the Windows Insider program. The Release Preview ring is used to test the company's updates before they are released to the market. Microsoft mistakenly believed that the version was reliable enough and skipped this step. However, it has found that it made a tragic mistake. The May 2019 version will be tested for about a month and will receive as many fixes as necessary to achieve the best result before it is released to the market.
Ability to choose when the update will be installed
The release adds the ability for users to control updates. They will be able, for example, to update their devices without making feature updates. They will also have the option to install within a 35-day period. Many times, users are unable to make the update when it is available. For this reason, a time frame will now be given.
Importance of user feedback
After the fiasco of the previous version, Microsoft now wants to pay more attention to user comments and feedback. For this reason, in the new version it will not rush and will spend more time in the Release Preview phase, while working closely with testers and taking their comments on the new version seriously.
The new version will be released soon, so it remains to be seen if Microsoft will do what it promised.
