Windows 10: Microsoft will share more details about Windows 10 19H2 update soon

Earlier this year, a rumour claimed that Windows 10 19H2 (Fall 2019 Update) could end up being a small update with not too many big changes. Microsoft not shipping any preview builds of Windows 10 19H2 seems to indicate this is the case. On the other hand, Windows 10 20H1 is expected to be a big release with several new features and improvements.

Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley expects that Windows 10 19H2 update will not come with tons of new features. It is likely to become more of a service pack for Windows 10 19H1 (May 2019 Update).

“I think it really will be mostly like a service pack for 19H1. and rumor is if there are any new features they might be turned off by default,” she said wrote in another tweet.

The latest preview builds that Microsoft shipped to Insiders is of Windows 20H1 update. Windows 10 Fall 2019 Update, officially codenamed 19H2, is still nowhere to be seen and it is supposed to be finalized in September or October for late 2019 release.

Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc believes that the company still has plenty of time to test the fall-2019 update. He also noted that Microsoft will share more details of the next Windows 10 update soon and release timelines cannot be speculated right now.

“There will be plenty of time to test 19H2. We get a lot of value out of the Slow ring. You shouldn’t worry – this will all play out and we’ll communicate the details once we’ve locked on them. Important not to put artificial timelines on these things,” he wrote in a tweet.

Windows 10 19H2 builds will be released to Slow Ring Insiders soon and Microsoft will use Fast Ring to test the next year’s Windows 10 release.

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

 

Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

"Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be automatically rolled out next year to all users of its older operating systems who have selected to receive updates.

Until now, users of Windows 7 and 8 have needed to register to upgrade to Windows 10. But that's about to change: soon the OS will be listed as an 'Optional Update' and -- from 2016 -- a 'recommended' update that will automatically install itself, if users have opted to receive updates in that way.*Shadedshun :shadedshu:

You can opt out of automatic updates to avoid this, but Microsoftsays that "we strongly discourage this in today’s connected world because of the constant risk of internet threats". You can also change your Windows Update settings to install critical updates but not recommended ones. Although it's still going to be possible to avoid installation, Microsoft seems quite determined for everyone to be using Windows 10 in near future.


The roll-out of reserved updates was initially staggered but, according to Microsoft, now Windows "will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation".

As an intermediate stage, Microsoft says that it will "soon" publish Windows 10 as an optional update, not installed by default, but accessible to all users."
