As usual in Operating Systems to perpetuate security, Microsoft also receives updates from its operating system periodically. While it is true that a method to receive them more frequently is through the Insider program, as end users we receive these new updates with a relatively short time, we have seen in their order versions such as:
Windows 10 updates
- Version 1511 (November Update)
- Version 1607 (Anniversary Update)
- Version 1703 (Creators Update)
- Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update)
- Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)
- Version 1809 (October 2018 Update)
Now, in each of them we have noticed significant changes and improvements and with the new version called Windows 10 version 1903 or technically 19H1, we will find a new series of functions and features, as well as integrated improvements that seek to capture more users and strengthen existing ones ..
TechnoWikis will explain how to obtain the new version of Windows 10 May Update which has already been officially launched and in this way we can use its new integrated functions and see how day by day we seek to optimize the user experience.
Note
Microsoft has deployed a strategy of implementation through batches for May Update, so if you do not receive it soon do not get angry or get upset, you will soon be able to download it, but with TechnoWikis you should not lose your mind.
1. What's new in Windows 10 May Update
In this new version of Windows 10 we will find some functionalities that are ideal for daily work without interruptions. One of these is that now Microsoft will allow us to pause the updates for up to 35 days (ideal to avoid the trouble of waiting for the download and installation), we can pause in periods of seven days, but now it is possible to make this pause until Five times in a row.
Let's see some of what will be available in May Update..
Processing speed improvements
In this new version of Windows 10, the development group took special care to apply a series of patches in Specter. This is a design flaw in the CPUs through which programs omit security restrictions and can read the memory spaces of other programs in the system. For this reason, in this new version of Windows 10, Microsoft has created these patches to block Specter vulnerabilities which ultimately translates into dedicated speed improvements.
Home menu improvements
The most used by thousands of users, now has a more optimized design since it avoids the visual saturation of its elements. This is achieved by organizing the accesses, on the other hand, through the new Start menu it will now be possible to uninstall more of the system's own applications.
On a technical level, the Start menu has a new dedicated process such as StartMenuExperienceHost.exe, instead of the ShellExperienceHost.exe process.
Standard reservation for updates
With this new version of Windows 10, a space of 7 GB is now reserved by default, which guarantees the space required to achieve updates safely.
New light themes
Now a new bright light theme has been integrated into the Windows 10 May Update environment for both the Start menu, the taskbar, the notifications, the action center, and more interface elements which opens up the possibility of using a clear theme and not the dark one.
Microsoft Edge is now based on Chromium
Being based on Chromium, the Edge browser offers us new features such as Internet Explorer Mode, Fluid Framework (focused on developers) and improvements in both security and performance.
SandBox Integration
In Windows 10 May Update we will find SandBox which is an option to run applications safely since this new function integrates an isolated desktop environment in which we can run the software in a container without affecting the operating system of the main host.
