For a long time, Microsoft has released two functional updates to Windows 10 a year. However, in practice, this approach turned out to be problematic in terms of the quality of the software provided and the convenience of users. Microsoft moved away from that schedule last year, and the fall update was less significant than the spring update.

Windows 10 20H2 will bring minor functional changes and general improvements to improve system stability. Since the preliminary version of the update has already become available to business customers as part of the Windows Insider Program for Business, it can be assumed that Microsoft will begin distributing Windows 20H2 earlier than expected.     

Now Microsoft is saying that Windows 20H2 will be “surprisingly quick to update. ” The functions will be updated by delivering the corresponding package to users’ PCs. This will change the build number and activate features that are already delivered to Windows 10 (2004) through monthly updates. After installing Windows 10 20H2, users will have access to an updated Start menu, the old version of Edge will be replaced by a new browser-based on Chromium, etc. cumulative updates.

“ Those with Windows 10 (2004) devices will have the opportunity to experience the amazingly fast upgrade that comes from 2004 to 20H2 through the support package, ” Microsoft said in a statement.
