Windows 10: What’s new in Windows 10 version 1909, the next major upgrade

Microsoft has remained tight-lipped about Windows 10 19H2’s current development status, but according to Microsoft’s typical schedule, Windows 10’s last feature update of 2019 will be finalized in a few days.

Windows 10 version 1909 (codenamed 19H2) rollout should start next month and the update could be formally announced on October 2 at an event where the firm plans to unveil new hardware, including an ARM-powered Surface 7 with narrow bezels.

Unlike Windows 10 May 2019 Update, Windows 10 version 1909 isn’t a substantial feature update and it is more about under-the-hood performance improvements. In this article, you can learn about all the new features and improvements that the firm has planned with Windows 10 version 1909.

Digital assistants on the lock screen


Microsoft is updating Lock screen with a new change that should allow third-party digital assistants to voice activate above the Lock screen.

Flyout, Action Center improvements


Microsoft has also updated the Calendar flyout on the Taskbar to allow you to quickly create events straight from Taskbar. To create a Calendar event, you have to click on the date and time icon located at the Taskbar to access a Calendar flyout. After opening the flyout, you have to click on a date and pick your desired time with a custom text.

Action Center-related improvements are also included in this release. For instance, Microsoft has added new screenshots to the notifications settings page to help you understand different functionalities of the Action Center.



The list of apps in the notifications settings age now sorts notification senders by most recently shown notification instead of sender name. This will allow you to find and customize the app which sends you notifications frequently.



Microsoft is adding a new ‘Manage notifications’ button to the top of Action Center and it links to the Notifications settings page.



You can now also turn off notifications for a particular app directly from the Action Center or the notification toast.

Battery and performance


Windows 10 version 1909 comes with battery life improvements for laptops and 2-in-1s, and power efficiency improvements for PCs with certain processors from manufacturers like Intel.

Another change should improve the performance of PCs that have Intel CPUs with multiple “favored” cores, a new technology available in the latest Intel processors.

File Explorer




File Explorer now uses Windows Search to integrate OneDrive contents with traditional results in search page.

Other improvements

• Start menu will expand when you hover over it with your mouse.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Update Failed - (KB4512941) Windows 10 1909

Please note, you keep mentioning Windows 10 1909, which is inaccurate. No such version of Windows 10 exist, the current production build is 1903 and the next major version is 1908.

Unfortunately, since you are unwilling to make any attempts trying my suggestions, I will release this question to someone else who might be willing to help you.

But please do try to cultivate an open mind when recommendations are made.
