With the arrival of Build 17704 to Windows 10 Microsoft announces that we will not see Sets in the next version of Windows

Surely you've heard of Sets, one of the most anticipated functions by Windows users. So much so that its arrival was expected with Redstone 4 and in the end we waited just as it had happened before with Timeline. We knew it would arrive with Redstone 5, although Joe Belfiore later clarified that they were in no hurry to release Sets and that it would only come out when they had it ready.

And bad news is what we received today coinciding with the arrival of the latest Build for users of the Microsoft Insider Program with Windows 10.Fast Ring users can now download and install Build 17704, and among all the news we have come across a surprise: Sets will not arrive with Redstone 5

Sets disappears in the last Build

But before continuing let's remember what this functionality consists of. Sets is an option that allows you to create environments with different tabs, each one corresponding to an application It is about facilitating productivity, since in each set we could have a series of tabs grouped by theme. For example, an environment where we had three tabs with Word, Excel and PowerPoint to make it easy to switch from one app to another.

A functionality similar to that found in browsers but imported into applications Another way to facilitate multitasking other than, for example, that we can see in macOS with the different virtual desktops.What is not clear is whether this function will be compatible with all input applications or, as expected, will require some adaptation by developers if they want to take advantage of this possibility.

"

Now, with the new Build, from Microsoft announce that they have disabled Sets, although the functionality will continue to be developed to be released in the future. A note that we see in the section General changes, improvements and fixes for PC:"

Therefore we were orphaned by one of the most anticipated options in Windows. We will have to keep waiting and now we know that, beyond the fall, to see how it is launched officially and open to all users.
