A big Windows 10 update is due out next month

The next big Windows 10 update is on the way in November, currently referred to internally by Microsoft as ‘Threshold 2', suggesting that the update will be pretty significant to users of the new operating system. The update is said to contain fixes and user interface changes that were originally due to be put in to the final version of Windows 10 but were held back for whatever reason.

These changes will include an extra column of Live Tiles in the Start menu, improved context menus and coloured title bars for desktop apps to match your system theme.

Windows-101

The Windows 10 update is also going to be adding in a new Messaging app, along with a Skype Video app, which will make Skype native with the OS. Some were expecting Microsoft's Edge browser to also finally get extension support but according to The Verge, this specific feature has been pushed back to next year now. That said, the browser will still be receiving a few tweaks.

When the update does come out, Microsoft will be labelling it as the ‘Windows 10 Fall Update'.

  1. Just fix the damn OS. It was a MAJOR step backwards compared to the level of polish introduced with Windows 8.1.

    Sorry to bust ya bubble but windows 10 is a new os and as windows 8 did has its rough spits… All operating systems are the same in this respect but I have had few problems with w10 and it runs like a champ all in all when it comes to a Microsoft is.

  3. Well Windows 10 even refuses to run on my system without messing with system files (google ‘Intel G3258 Windows 10’). What a f*** up.
    And seems to me that Windows 10 is a worse release than W8 was at the time of release. In case of the latter, the performance was improved (compared to Windows 7), Windows 10 only looks better on the outside – the underlying code, or whatever, did not seem to improve, everything looks like it’s dirty hacked – glued – into the OS. Just some UI “improvements” (Win 8.1 was better to use on the desktop because you could ignore all tablet ui shenanigans, but in Windows 10 they’re the main part of the OS).

  4. Microsoft will call it the Windows 10 Fall update
    Will we be calling it the Windows 10 FAIL update??

  5. Works fine for me and I think plenty of other people. Sucks that you’re having trouble, but it doesn’t make your experience the norm either.

  6. Please make a new OS and stop ranting

  7. I agree… (Note for short-sight persons: Not Windows 8… Windows 8.1!!!) with a start menu replacement.. very solid… that’s the way to go…

  9. Marcin, build/ buy a new pc or fix the outdated crap parts that wont let you apparently run windows 10, your the only Muppet to find fault with the actual install or are you just making it all up to give yourself something to talk about as your friends disowned you for talking chit ? 🙂

    fyi i have installed windows 10 on machines older than 10 years just fine.

  10. I have it running seamlessly on a first-generation Thinkpad T60, a machine originally designed for W2K and XP, bought second-hand with a reseller upgrade from Vista to W7.

  11. HUUUURRRR DDUDUUUURRRR

    Windows 10 is shit becuase my 20 year old shitbox with a 20 GB raid hardrive array wont run it 😀

  12. All been good here, using on a surface though and wish they would bring back the win 8.1 handwriting pannel (it supported smooth edits n such, now you have to re-write whole words for a single letter, and it will probably still think you mean the same word as before)

  13. I was really scared to update but i tried since i heard you can go back. So far the only thing not working properly is minimizing full screen games, for some reason it doesn’t minimize and i have to press the windows key to be able to open new ones. Anyone else have this? or am i doing alt+tab wrong…unless you can no longer alt+tab without another app already open :/

  14. Sure, because I am a multi-billion dollar company with years of experience and huge amount of human resources, nearly forcing my users to upgrade to an unusable OS.

  15. Wesley, you moronic, ignorant untermensch, I’m here to inform you that my system is far from outdated, and if “haswell” doesn’t ring any bells in your empty head, try to acknowledge in your infinite retardation that it’s a processor released in 2014. So all this is not ok, and it’s because of idiots like you why microsoft can pull such shit off, release beta-grade OS as final, and get away with this.

  16. You are bringing up specific use case scenarios that don’t effect the masses. I have 5 pc’s on 10 and zero compatibility issues 3 of them on haswell (sp3,asus laptop, and 4770k custom pc) have yet to have an issues. It is way more polished then 8.1 because they kept the good things from 8.1 and trimmed the fat and listened to what the majority of people wanted. The farming of information is my big issue, but that is another topic. Please be more specific then just being ambiguous and saying “major step backwards” or “polished” without adding contextual information.

  17. It’s a PEBKAC error, look it up, there are ways to fix it.

  18. More spying NSA approved stuff I suppose…

  19. First of all: You are boasting about your shiny new Pentium refresh? Woah. This thing costs like $40 around here.
    Second: This is an Intel problem, not a Microsoft problem. Who’s the moronic, ignorant untermensch now? 🙂

  20. Winkey+D should return you to desktop, no?
