Windows 10 version 21H1 just around the corner
Microsoft is getting ready to finalize Windows 10 version 21H1 and push it to the first waves of devices as soon as the next month. This new release will land in the form of a quality update, so it won’t include any big changes, with the RTM to be signed off in the coming weeks.
Microsoft too confirmed that the focus would only be on smaller changes under the hood this time, all based on user feedback, it seems.
“Windows 10, version 21H1 will have a scoped set of features improving security, remote access and quality. The features we are releasing in this update are focused on the core experiences that customers have told us they’re relying on most right now. So, we optimized this release to support our customers’ most pressing needs,” Microsoft explained, revealing that version 21H1 will include Windows Hello multicamera support, WDAG improvements, and other enterprise-related updates.
According to Microsoft’s release calendar, version 21H1 should be finalized and released for the first waves of production devices by the end of the next month.
