In the next update of Windows 10 scheduled for May, a new function will arrive that will make the computer faster

For once, a Windows update could make the PC run faster, instead of weighing it down as it happens very often. In Windows 10 20H 1, also called Windows 10 Version 2004 and that is the first half-yearly update of 2020 for the Microsoft operating system, there is, in fact, a novelty that will please those who own a not very performing computer.

The novelty, already widely announced in recent weeks but which is now officially confirmed, consists of a refinement of the file indexing algorithm. That is that algorithm that manages how and when Windows scans the files on the disk and indexes them, in order to make them find them much faster when we do a normal search through File Explorer. Today, indexing does not take into account other activities in progress on the computer, so it could be launched even while the PC is under a lot of stress due to other apps or other tasks in execution. With Windows 10 20H1, however, the algorithm will stop indexing in some specific cases.

Disk indexing: what changes with Windows 10 20H1

To be precise, starting from Windows 10 20H1 , the ” search indexer ” will be stopped when we are playing a video game, the PC is saving energy or has little battery, it is waking up from energy saving, we disconnect the laptop from the power supply and let’s go to battery, the percentage of CPU usage goes up over 80% or that of the disk over 70%, the screen turns off.

Why Microsoft has changed the indexing

This change will have a good impact on the performance of computers, especially those with an old mechanical hard drive. On a PC with SSD disk, however, the impact of indexing is very low. This means that Microsoft has tried to “lighten” Windows 10 to allow installation on less performing computers. Those, to understand, that currently have Windows 7 or earlier operating systems. Operating systems that, as we all know, are no longer supported by Microsoft security updates. The intent of Microsoft, therefore, is to “upgrade” the park installed making Windows 10 more accessible to older computers.
