Windows 10 in the 20H1 branch getting closer and closer: could Build 19041 be the final version candidate?
Table of contents:
Although Microsoft's next big release will take place in a few days with the arrival of the new version of Edge based on Chromium for all users, the main eyes are focused on Windows and the update which, according to prevailing logic, should arrive in spring
The 20H1 branch is the name by which until now we know a version of Windows 10 that has already received numerous Builds within the Insider Program. So much so that Microsoft has already begun testing the 20H2 branch that should arrive in the fall in a move that augurs closeness to the first major update of the year
Could this be Build 19041?
With the start of testing in the 20H2 branch, with improvements and new additions, the 20H1 branch enters its final phase Windows 10 2004, which is the same as the 20H1 branch should arrive in the spring, April or May, so its development may be almost complete except for the remaining bug fixes between now and its release.
This is a highly anticipated version of Windows 10, especially because of how watered down Windows 10 was in the November update of 2019. A light update that has caused the discontent of users who already think about the 20H1 branch.
And although it is still too early to have any concrete data, Windows Latest claims that Windows 10 Build 19041, released in mid-December, could be the final candidate , the version that will eventually hit the market or at least serve as the basis for the versions that are released as cumulative builds.
Among the reasons to justify this position, they state that Build 19041 does not count in the desktop preview with the watermark typical. A symptom that, they say, may indicate that we are close to seeing the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) version.
We will have to wait to find out more details, as we must remember that Microsoft is also developing Windows 10X, a version of Windows for its new range of devices that right now should see the light before the end of 2020 to accompany the new models that are launched on the market. And apparently, and depending on the position of manufacturers like Intel, its development is still very green.
