The very day that many have definitely been waiting for a long time has come. Today, November 12, 2019, the American corporation Microsoft fulfilled the long-time dream of many people, because a few hours ago it distributed a major update for Windows 10, and it is called the November 2019 Update. This is a major update that brings with it a number of significant innovations, but its main innovation is an increase in operating speed, which was achieved by optimizing the code of the entire OS. All users of licensed Windows 10 can install this update without any difficulty. It is available for download from the official website of the developers, as well as through the update center within the operating system. The update weighs about 3 GB.
If we talk about the main innovations that the major November 2019 Update brings with it, it is the management of third-party voice assistants various functions and operating room capabilities Windows systems 10. In the calendar, you can now create various reminders within the taskbar without having to launch the application each time. If you hover your mouse over the familiar Start menu, an expanded options bar will appear, allowing you to get Additional information about each icon of any program. From now on, after installing this major update, all users can search for information in cloud storage OneDrive.
By implementing the ability to search in cloud storage, this is now no different from regular hard drive, because in a few seconds you can find the files of interest through a search. Time battery life laptops and tablets increases after installing the November 2019 Update, because this major update contains important innovations, complemented by improved energy saving algorithms. Of course, these are not all the innovations in the major update for Windows 10, but many of the main ones that it can please everyone who installs it. On top of everything else, Microsoft is announcing fixes for various previously discovered bugs and shortcomings, all of which have been fully addressed to ensure the best user experience possible.
The Windows 10 November 2019 Update is now available for everyone to download, but in some cases you may experience problems downloading it because Microsoft server faced an extremely heavy load, as always in such cases. The publication AKKet.com recommends not installing this major update in the coming days, as it is more likely that some significant flaws will be found in it, even such that the entire OS will not be able to work correctly. However, if you have nothing to lose, then you can safely install a major update for Windows 10 now, especially since it has been fully translated into all world languages in which this software is available. operating system.
The next major update is the November 2019 Update (version 1909) for devices based on Windows 10. While most major Microsoft updates for Windows 10 usually contain a lot of new features, in this case it looks more like large service packs that were released for previous ones Windows versions. Most of the changes are minor, and ordinary users will not see them - they are, one might say, background and are more focused on improving stability, performance and the like.
However, this does not mean that nothing has changed. The biggest changes that the Microsoft team has made relate to how notifications work in Windows 10. The November update brought a settings button in the Action Center, which you can click to customize how they work. Additionally, you can now hover over a notification that appears and, via the settings button, permanently turn off notifications from a particularly annoying app. Microsoft even offered the ability to customize the number of notifications that apps display.
There are also several changes to the Start menu and taskbar. You can now hover over the start button to bring up the settings menu without having to click on it. In addition, you can add events to your calendar directly from the taskbar. Microsoft has also updated the search feature in Explorer. It now works on the same basis as Windows search in the Start menu, so the user will find not only files on the local PC, but also in OneDrive cloud. Finally, you can now launch from the lock screen voice assistants, other than Cortana.
As you can see, there are no fundamental functional updates - we are talking only about small touches. Today Microsoft is already starting to roll out the November 2019 Update for Windows users 10. You can get it from Windows Update by going to Settings - Update and Security - Windows Update and clicking the check for updates button there.
Microsoft has released another major, that is, this time not a major, update for the Windows 10 operating system. I think it’s no secret that with the release of Windows 10, Microsoft switched to service model distribution of the OS and now having Windows license 10 twice a year, users receive a major system update. Both users and businesses are not very happy with this distribution model, since not everyone likes to constantly update the system, especially since various problems arise with each new release. Microsoft, in turn, insists on its own, although the company has made its own concessions. Firstly, now a large-scale update is tested for about 2 months, at least this was the case with the May update. Secondly, now the company is not pushing its new update.
You can now stay on the old update and still receive cumulative updates for it. A major update is now highlighted separately in Windows Update and, if you wish, you can download it at a time convenient for you. The only exceptions are those devices that have outdated version Windows 10. Thirdly, Microsoft sends the update automatically only to those users whose hardware is compatible with the new update, and with which there were no problems when testing in the insider branches. As new ones are released cumulative updates These issues are resolved and the new update is available to more users. Thanks to this, the May 2019 Update went quite smoothly and with virtually no incidents, especially if you compare it with version 1809, where big problems were noticed, even going as far as deleting files.
In the case of the fall update, Microsoft continues this policy of smooth updates and as a result, the fall update is small. At first there was information that Microsoft was abandoning 2 major updates 2 times a year and from now on there would be one major update and one Service Pack. But Microsoft denied all these rumors, and the company will continue the “Windows as a service” policy, it’s just that this year there was such a hitch and the update was small and not fully tested Microsoft features Apparently I decided not to release it, so the update turned out to be small. But, nevertheless, the update contains features that slightly increase the functionality of the system, while the company has also worked on the performance and autonomy of the system, which we will discuss in more detail later. It’s probably worth noting right away that this conditional Service Pack is intended exclusively for version 1903, which will update your OS version to version 1909. If you have an old OS update, for example 1809, then you will download build 19H1 along with integrated updates 19H2, and This will already be considered a major update. Autumn updates have a longer OS support period for corporate users and educational institutions, which is a huge plus, since the update will be small, improve system stability, there will be no special problems with it, and it will be supported for a very long time, or rather 2.5 years. If you want to have support for more than 30 months, I can recommend using the LTSC version of Windows 10, where extended support is provided for 10 years.
This is all good, of course, but you would like to know in more detail about the new goodies of the September update 19H2, so let's take a look.
Windows containers now require the same host and container version, which reduces the ability of clients and limits them from supporting cross-container scripts.
A fix has been implemented that allows OEMs to reduce inking latency based on the hardware itself, rather than just using the default hardware configuration settings.
New Key-Roling and Key-Rotation features allow you to securely open a Bitlocker protected drive using a recovery password.
Third-party digital assistants like Alice can now also work on your PC's Lock Screen.
In 19H2, the calendar in the Taskbar was updated. Now you can add a reminder to yourself from the Taskbar using the drop-down calendar and entering information in the appropriate field. In addition to the date and time, you can also specify the location.
The Start menu has been slightly updated. No, they didn’t remove the tiles there... yet, but added a drop-down navigation bar, which now automatically expands when you hover your mouse over the ribbon with folders, account and settings.
The following changes have been noticed in the notification settings section. Now, when enabling notifications, users will also be shown GIF animations that will preview what those notifications will actually look like. In the Notifications & Actions tab, you can now sort apps by which ones last sent you notifications, allowing you to quickly find apps that frequently send notifications and quickly disable them. There is also an option to immediately mute the toast notification sound as soon as it appears on your screen. And at the top of the Notification Center, an option was added to open the Notifications and Actions section in Settings.
New capabilities for debugging Intel processors have been added for OEMs.
In the 19H2 update, energy efficiency was greatly improved, allowing some processors to use their resources efficiently while increasing battery life.
Microsoft has added a logical processor rotation policy for the most high level planning. To ensure better performance and stability, the system will now select certain cores to ensure best performance, while the load distribution on these cores will be balanced. Overall, Microsoft has done a lot of work on the performance and battery life in this update, so it is highly recommended to install Windows installation 10 19H2.
Integrated Windows Defender Credential Guard for ARM64-based devices to prevent theft of corporate accounts for customers using ARM-based devices.
For corporate users in group policy An option has been added to activate the launch of Win32 applications in S mode from Microsoft Intune.
The search in Explorer has been updated, which now searches for files on the PC not only locally, but also in network locations such as OneDrive.
Narrator now has the ability to read the location of the FN keys, as well as its status - locked or unlocked.
Microsoft has also slightly changed the update delivery policy in Windows 10 again. With each update, Microsoft makes some changes here based on information machine learning And artificial intelligence. Updates are now delivered fairly quickly and are installed immediately if possible. The rest is installed only after rebooting the PC.
Besides small changes under the hood of the system, applications for Windows 10 were also updated. For example, the Your Phone application now allows you to reply to messages from Windows notifications 10, while there is support for two SIM cards and a battery charge indicator. Also, in the future, users will be given the opportunity to even receive calls on their computer. Some of the described functions are available to both insiders and ordinary users, in general, those who are lucky. You can also note the Xbox Game Bar, also known as the Game Bar, where quite recently it became possible to show the load on the CPU, GPU and RAM, and recently it even became possible to display the FPS counter and integrate achievements with Xbox Live. Again, this feature may not be available to everyone.
Other applications also received minor improvements related to performance, autonomy, multi-window support became available in some places, as in the case of the Sketch on a Screen Fragment application, and minor bugs were fixed.
You can also note the Edge browser, which is already being tested in the Beta channel. In theory, a stable RTM version should be available soon, since stable versions have leaked onto the network more than once, and perhaps it has already been released when you watch this video. The browser already works quite well, there is support for dark mode, Internet Explorer, and the browser now has support for the Russian language. Initially by the way functionality Sets that provided tabs in Explorer were tied to Edge browser, but now they will apparently abandon this, since the reviewer has switched to another engine, and the old developments have sunk into oblivion.
Overall this is it short review It turned out on Windows 10 version 1909. By the way, you can download Windows 10 or update using the links in the description. Microsoft initially said that the update would be small, which is indeed true. The next Windows 10 update will be quite large and there will already be room for improvement. Judging by the rumors of the development of 21H1, and such an update is already being developed, which will be released in a year, then it seems that next year the autumn update will also be small. Who knows, maybe Microsoft will really move away from major updates 2 times a year, although the company was initially categorically against this and in every possible way denied rumors about 1 major and one not big update in year. If this continues, then we will have 2 castes of users, some will update with a major update, others will wait for Service PacK, and others will install everything at once.
The next big update "20H1" for Windows 10 has been completed as we already know, but Microsoft plans to test the update for a few more months before rolling it out to the general public.
In November 2019, Microsoft said that Windows 10 20H1 would be known as version 2004 and would be released around the same time. Windows 10 version 2004 is much larger than the November 2019 Update released for Windows 10 in November 2019 and also has several useful improvements.
In this article, we have discussed all the new features and major improvements in Windows 10 20H1.
What's new in Windows 10 20H1 (version 2004)
With the 20H1 update, Microsoft is addressing operating system issues. The update adds a cloud reset feature as well as new algorithm Reduce disk usage by Windows Search.It feels like a very smooth update with a bunch of useful improvements.
New Cortana experience
Although Microsoft may be planning to remove Cortana from Microsoft Launcher and also extract its mobile applications, the next major update to Windows 10 will double the use of the digital assistant, greatly improving the communication experience.
The new Cortana experience will be supported by the Windows Store app. In other words, Cortana is no longer tied to Windows 10 releases and can finally be updated from the app store.
Cortana's new design lets you interact with digital assistant both with text and voice. It comes with new speech and language models, making it faster than ever before.
Cortana also allows users to open apps, manage reminders, manage Microsoft tasks, alarms, and also works with traditional "Hey Cortana" features.
Finally, Cortana lets you switch between light and dark screen modes. As we noted above, Cortana will be controlled by the Microsoft Store app, so we can expect even more improvements in the coming months.
Reinstalling Windows is now easier than ever
The 20H1 update introduces the Cloud Download feature for reinstalling Windows 10, a big update to the Reset This PC feature that has been around since Windows 8.
With this feature, you can reset your computer as if you just booted it up for the first time. Or you can also use it to clean your Windows system, restore settings, uninstall applications and fix the problem you are having.
Microsoft continues to improve the Reset This PC feature. Cloud Download is the latest addition.
When you click the Reset This PC button in the Settings app, Windows 10 creates a new copy of Windows, collecting files, but this can take more than 45 minutes and may not always fix a damaged OS.
If you have a fast Internet connection and at least 3GB of bandwidth, you can use the Cloud Download feature to reinstall Windows 10 directly from the Microsoft cloud, rather than building local copies of the files.
Microsoft says Cloud Download is a more reliable way to reinstall Windows, and you can do it in a few clicks.
In Windows 10 20H1, this feature is available in the Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> Get Started menu.
Windows Subsystem for Linux 2
Windows 10 v2004 includes new version Windows Subsystem for Linux, which supports ELF64 Linux binaries for Windows.WSL 2 represents the true Linux kernel and provides the same user interface as WSL 1 with enhanced controls, including much faster file system performance.
Windows Search Experience
Windows Search uses the Windows Search Indexer to display accurate search results. Windows Search Index that works in background and scans your files to create an index of your files will get a big boost in the next major update.
The May 2019 Update fixed the unreliable experience with Windows Search using the Enhanced Indexer, but users were still experiencing system performance issues.
Microsoft says the Windows 10 20H1 update includes a new algorithm that is capable of detecting peak disk and CPU usage times so it can stop the indexer.
For example, the indexer stops when power saving mode is enabled or when CPU exceeds 80% and disk utilization reaches 70%. When the indexer is stopped, Windows Search stops using your disk and processor, and this greatly improves system stability.
Microsoft also plans to speed up Windows search by eliminating shared folders developer or files found in certain programs.
Task Manager
In this issue Dispatcher Windows tasks gets two new features. It can now display your PC's drive type - SSD or HDD, so you can see which drive is in your laptop or computer.
Another function has been introduced that allows you to control the temperature GPU. If you have a dedicated graphics card, you can see the GPU temperature in the Performance tab of Task Manager.
Disk Cleanup
Starting with 20H1, Disk Cleanup and Storage Sense will not permanently clean out your Downloads folder.
Microsoft is removing the Downloads folder from both the Disk Cleanup utility and the Windows 10 Storage Settings app. The option is being removed after some users said they accidentally deleted all the files in their Downloads folder.
Application restart control
When you boot your computer and sign in, Windows 10 automatically opens many new applications. With this release, there's a new option in the Settings app that makes it easier to turn them off.
To disable this feature, go to Settings -> Accounts–> Login options. Applications like Google Chrome and Spotify will not open automatically when Windows startup 10.
This feature now includes both UWP apps (Apps from the Microsoft Store) and traditional desktop apps.
Conclusion
This update will come along with other improvements, including more control over how you use Windows Update and how you use the Microsoft Store.According to Microsoft's typical release schedule, the Windows 10 20H1 update (version 2004) will begin rolling out to mainstream users in April or May 2020.
Microsoft released several builds through Windows Insider before the final release of the new Windows 10 operating system a few months ago. To be precise, the term final version no longer applies when the operating system is released as Windows as a Service.
Sources close to Microsoft report that the company plans to release Windows 10 Fall Update starting in early November. Even with WinBeta, update coming November 2.
The new updated operating system, previously called Threshold R2, will bring improvements to existing features as well as new features to the operating system.
Rumors indicate that the upcoming update could be installed in every Windows versions 10 via Windows Update and will be named "Windows 10 November 2015".
What will Windows Update include in November?

The function will be missing. Edge extension support will likely arrive sometime before 2016 or early 2016.
