Microsoft adding new update notification in version 2004

Windows 10 version 2004 is presumably just around the corner, as Microsoft is expected to sign off the RTM build any day now, but here’s a last-minute change that the company itself didn’t announce.

The next Windows 10 feature update will come with a new Windows Update notification that shows up when a new update is pending installation.

As per HTNovo, the notification also moves to the Action Center if the user doesn’t interact with it, and it offers a series of additional options, such as restarting the computer right now, rebooting it during the night, or picking an hour for the whole thing.

Furthermore, the notification also includes a visual advice to plug in the device so that it doesn’t run out of battery when installing updates, something that could break down the operating system and prevent the computer from booting.

Windows 10 version 2004

Windows 10 version 2004 is the next major update for Windows 10, and Microsoft is expected to ship the RTM build to insiders as soon as this month.

The version number itself is an indication that the update is projected to be finalized this month. Windows 10’s version numbers point to the date when the RTM build was signed, with the first two digits representing the year, while the two other indicate the month when this happened.

In other words, Windows 10 version 2004 should be signed off in the fourth month of 2020.

At this point, this new release is already feature-locked, which means Microsoft is only working on the last-minute polishing before beginning the rollout to production devices.

An official announcement is not available, but one should be shared anytime soon, especially as we’re getting closer to the moment the go-ahead for non-insiders should be given.
