Windows 10 May 2020 Update will get many changes – here are the major ones and how they’ll work.
The Windows 10 May 2020 Update, the first major Windows 10 update that Microsoft is rolling out in 2020, is now officially out in the wild and now available for users to download. And, it’s bringing in a whole new set of features and performance refinements to the versatile OS.
These new features include a more efficient algorithm for Windows Search, improved Cortana experience and even more kaomojis, to start. The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is also adding a new security tool, which will help prevent unwanted or malicious apps from installing themselves on your PC. Unfortunately, it also comes with its share of issues, like with other past updates. However, these issues should either have simple workarounds or will be resolved soon.
Now that the Windows 10 May 2020 Update is out, that means it’s time to take inventory of everything it has to offer. Here are all of the most exciting, interesting and generally useful features that are coming with it.
The Windows 10 May 2020 Update, the first major Windows 10 update that Microsoft is rolling out in 2020, is now officially out in the wild. Although this latest update to the Windows 10 operating system was delayed for some reason, it’s now available for users to download.
In the past, major Windows 10 updates that are released in the first half of the year are usually released in April, such as the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, though last year we saw the Windows 10 May 2019 Update due to delays.
This first full update of 2020 has gotten an official moniker: Windows 10 May 2020 Update. Before, it was going by a few names, including Windows 10 20H1 and Windows 10 build 2004.
Clearly, Microsoft is sticking with the naming convention of previous Windows 10 updates and naming it after the time it’s released, for example Windows 10 April 2020 update, or Windows 10 Spring 2020 update – although that latter name might be confusing to people living in the Southern Hemisphere.
Regardless of the release date, the Windows 10 May 2020 Update will likely bring a load of new features to Windows 10 – certainly more than the relatively low-key Windows 10 November 2019 Update, anyway.
