Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile are updated with new Builds but only the first has a rosy future

We have seen how Microsoft has practically abandoned Windows Phone to its fate. Despite some more than promising beginnings, Windows on mobile has ended up being a nonsense of epic dimensions. We have seen how other alternatives to iOS and Android have disappeared: Firefox OS, Tizen in its early days or MeeGo are history, but its collapse cannot be compared to that of Windows Phone.

The problem is that although not in the same number as the iOS and Android platforms, the number of owners of a Windows phone is what it is.They are there and it seems that the American company does not want to leave them hanging or not at least for now. It is the only reason that can explain why they continue to release updates for Windows 10 Mobile today when not even the company believes in its future.

If you have a phone equipped with Windows 10 Mobile in your possession, you will see how it will arrive in the next few hours, if it has not already arrived, a notification alerting you of the availability of a new update.

This is Build 15063.1324, an update that has arrived focused mainly on improving system stability and adding performance improvements and bug fixesWe don't expect to find news in the form of new functions. This is what this Build brings:
