Although there is still a long way to go before the arrival of Windows 10 20H1

We are still waiting for the arrival of Windows 10 November 2019 Update, which we expect in a few days, but let's not fool ourselves. The update that will bring a good number of new features is the one that should arrive in the first half of 2020 and that for now we know as the 20H1 branch.

Windows 10 November 2019 Update will certainly bring improvements, but the bulk of what's new is saved for the spring update Y Despite the fact that there is still some time left to be able to discover everything that it can give of itself, it does not hurt to give a brief review of some of the most interesting novelties that it can hide.

Design tweaks

Starting with the appearance, changes are expected in the design, which, although they will not be very pronounced, will make Windows 10 offer a more current appearanceand integrate better with what we can see in other competing operating systems and other applications.

In this sense a bet is expected for a design of rounded angles in the windows and tabs, so that the right angles of Windows 10 that we know will go down in history. The striking thing is that in Edge they have returned to the right angles with the latest updates.

Cortana Improvements

A major revamp is expected in Cortana After its separation from the search bar, it is expected that with the 20H1 branch Cortana will improve in communication capabilities with users.In this way Cortana will be able to respond more naturally to questions about pending tasks, reminders, meetings…

In addition and in this sense, Cortana will offer a new, clearer and more orderly interface and incidentally will allow the use by users in a supported language that may be different from the language used on the computer.

Optional upgrades are consolidated

We already explained it back in the day; optional updates may return to Windows 10 to make it easier to get improvements without us having to download a full update or so we can have the latest drivers from a easiest way.

Optional updates will appear as one more option within Windows Update and the system will automatically add them to a download queue.These updates will be available in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View optional updates"

Bluetooth improvements

With the 20H1 branch, improvements in Bluetooth pairing are to be expected and it will offer faster access, because now the system will automatically detect when there are compatible devices nearby .

Using the cloud to restore

As with other operating systems, Windows turns to the cloud when restoring a copy of the operating system . If until now we did not serve a local copy of the system or DVD drives, with the 20H1 branch a cloud recovery function will be added.

If we have an Internet connection at a suitable speed, the recovery process will be carried out more easily since that you can get a Windows 10 image directly from Microsoft servers. It is a logical step given that more and more equipment does without optical drives.

Access without passwords

"

You can enable passwordless sign-in for Microsoft accounts on a Windows 10 device. To do this, go to Settings > Accounts > Startup options login and dial Activated>"

This way, on you enable passwordless sign-in, all Microsoft accounts on your Windows 10 device will go to authentication via Windows Hello, fingerprint or PIN recognition.

Notepad Improvements

With the 20H1 branch we will see a Notepad that is separated from the system and some virtual desktops to optimize our work in the purest macOS stylethat now offer the possibility of naming them to facilitate their organization.

Taskbar Improvements

"

The 20H1 branch of Windows 10 will release an improved control that will add more information about our team&39;s graphics. Windows will offer more information about the graphics card that the computer mounts through the Task Manager."

Among the data that will be collected are those related to the temperature of the graph in real time in order to help prevent the equipment from overheating excessively.

In addition, it makes it easier to create new events and reminders, since now users can access them by clicking on the date on the taskbar. Time and location can be set.

Windows 10 in the 20H1 branch is expected to arrive in the first half of 2020, with a name that, if we follow the prevailing trend, it could be Windows 10 April 2020 Update or Windows 10 May 2020 Update.
