14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has already released several cumulative updates for Windows 10, thus trying to improve performance of the operating system and fix a number of bugs, but the company hasn't actually provided detailed change logs to let users know what these updates bring new to the table.
And unsurprisingly, plenty of users criticized Microsoft for this approach, digging into these updates and looking for additional information on their own.
In a statement for The Register, Microsoft explained that the new Windows as a Service approach, which is supposed to bring updates to users at a much faster pace, allows the company to detail only significant updates that are delivered to their computers, while smaller improvements will simply be shipped with no other information provided.
“As we have done in the past, we post KB articles relevant to most updates which we’ll deliver with Windows as a service. Depending on the significance of the update and if it is bringing new functionality to Windows customers, we may choose to do additional promotion of new features as we deploy them,” a Microsoft spokesperson was quoted as saying.
Cumulative Windows 10 updates
Microsoft has already released four cumulative updates for the new operating system, despite the fact that Windows 10 was launched on July 29.
This is part of Redmond's Windows as a Service approach that's supposed to deliver updates when they are ready, instead of bringing them out once a month to update computers across the world.
A more significant update is projected to see daylight in October, when Microsoft could bring new features on our PCs, including support for extensions in Edge browser. The software giant hasn't yet confirmed this release, but there is evidence that a major update is coming with tons of fixes and feature improvements in addition to the cumulative updates we get every month.
