Microsoft has begun work on the major Windows 10 update due to land in the second half of 2021 – and the first update of next year will be a minor one.
This rumor comes courtesy of Windows Latest, which claims that internal testing has already begun on the H2 2021 update codenamed ‘Cobalt’ by the Microsoft staff.
The other possibility is that Microsoft is doing things the other way round in 2021 by not having a major update (H1) followed by a minor update (H2), as has been the case for the last two years.
Apparently the plan for 2021 is that the spring update (H1) will be a minor affair, not introducing much in the way of changes, whereas all the big features will arrive with the second upgrade of the year.
Effectively, progress on Windows 10 could be slowing for the moment, then, but there are some major changes expected for H2 to make up for this.
That includes a big overhaul for the interface which we’ve been hearing a lot about in recent times, codenamed Sun Valley, which will bring an entirely fresh and more modern look to the Windows 10 desktop.
Another intriguing possibility is that Project Latte may also turn up with the H2 2021 update, bringing support for Android apps under Windows 10, no less.
