Despite being less than two years away from its end of support, Windows 10 is getting new features again. Here are the top 5 it should get to improve the experience for those sticking to Windows 10.
The release of Windows 11 in October 2021 ended feature development for Windows 10, leaving it as a mature, stable operating system without drama. However, in late 2023, Microsoft decided to make a U-turn and get back to the Windows 10 drawing board. The OS has already received Copilot and a new lock screen weather widget, and you can expect more soon, even though Windows 10 is less than two years away from its end of life.
I think it is safe to say that what Windows 10 currently offers is more than enough for the vast majority of its customers. Those who do not share this sentiment can compensate for the lack of specific features with third-party apps. Still, Windows 10 is too big to ignore, so get ready for new stuff in your nine-year-old operating system.
Here are five features I would like to see Windows 10 getting from its successor for a better experience. And right off the bat, I am fully confident that none of those will come to fruition. For now, it looks like Microsoft is focusing on easy jobs that can boost its service numbers, clicks, and engagement. Copilot is self-explanatory—that is just a part of Microsoft Edge with barely any Windows integration. As for the lock screen, it is nothing but a shortcut to the MSN website. A proper widget would open the stock Weather app, but Microsoft apparently thinks that is for squares.
The following things might sound minor and insignificant, but so is the new weather widget.
