The Redmonds appear to have resigned themselves to the seemingly unshakable popularity of the previous generation system.
Microsoft launched Windows 11 in fall 2021, but the new generation operating system failed to gain traction, even though the company had announced the slow phase-out of Windows 10 well in advance. With this in mind, the Redmond company announced that it would finally end support for its predecessor in October 2025 and also promised not to deliver any further function updates after the 22H2 update in autumn 2022. The platform was released in 2015.
However, the nearly 70% market share is a big deal, which is why Microsoft recently brought the company’s new savior, the artificial intelligence-based Copilot assistant, with a step back into the supposedly doomed Windows 10 and now faces another update took a look at the popular operating system.
The folks from Redmond announced on their official blog that Windows 10 Edition 19045.3992, released on the Release Preview channel of the Windows Insider Test Program, brings a “richer weather experience” to the final screens. In practice, this means a dynamic, interactive update of the weather information placed here. Hovering over the weather module on the final screen displays more data, and clicking on the map displays the MSN forecast via the Edge browser.
The novelty, also tested in Windows 11, is activated by default for those who have activated the display of the weather in the Engine house > personalization > Lock screen > Lock screen in the status menu. And that’s not even the only innovation: In addition to the usual bug fixes, build 19045.3992 also contains an important change for eye control: From now on you can create a backup of the associated settings, which can also be transferred to a new device by clicking on place the desktop and we can access it with one movement.
The public release of the update cannot be long in coming, as the Release Preview test channel is the last stop before the live premiere. The next big question is whether Microsoft will eventually back down on the end of Windows 10 support on October 14, 2025, as 240 million computers could become e-waste if Windows 11 is not available, according to a recent analysis from Canalys Research The successor, expected this year, has no lower installation requirements than the current platform.
