The responsibility of designing for that many people is one we don’t take lightly. The past 18 months brought an incredible shift in how we used our PCs; we went from fitting the PC into our lives to trying to fit our whole lives into the PC. Our devices weren’t just where we went for meetings, classes and to get things done, but where we came to play games with friends, binge watch our favorite shows and, perhaps most meaningfully, connect with one another. In the process we found ourselves recreating the office banter, the hallway chatter, workouts, happy hours and holiday celebrations – digitally.
What was so powerful was the shift in the PC we saw and felt – from something practical and functional to something personal and emotional. This is what inspired us as we were building the next generation of Windows. To build you a place that feels familiar, where you can create, learn, play and most importantly, connect in all new ways.
Today, I am humbled and excited to introduce you to Windows 11, the Windows that brings you closer to what you love.
———————————————————————————————————————————-
Nearly six years on from the release of Windows 10, Microsoft has finally unveiled the Windows 11 operating system, featuring a cleaner, more Mac-like design and some new features. Windows 11 will be available as a free download for existing Windows users this holiday season, according to a Microsoft blog post published after a virtual event on Thursday.
The free upgrade will begin to roll out to eligible Windows 10 PCs around the holidays, and will continue into 2022, the post said. No specific date was announced.
If you haven’t updated to Windows 10 yet, you can still take advantage of a trick for downloading Windows 10 free that still works. Now would be a good time to make the switch to prepare your machine for the Windows 11 upgrade
Once Windows 11 becomes available, you’ll download it the same way you would with any new version of Windows. Most users will go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and clicking Check for Updates. If available, you’ll see Feature update to Windows 11. Click Download and install.
Anyone wanting to get this update before in your automatic updates can download it here
There is only a handful of new features in Windows 10 21H1, including support for multiple Windows Hello-enabled cameras; Windows Defender Application Guard improvements, and improvements in Windows Management Instrumentation via Group Policy. The new Chromium-based Edge browser also is available as part of today’s 21H1 release.
Microsoft has released the next version of Windows 10 called “21H1”, or the May 2021 Update, and it is available to users running Windows 10 2004 or later as an optional update in Windows Update.
The Windows 10 21H1 feature update is a very small release and does not bring too many new features. However, it does come with performance and security enhancements that will improve the operating system’s overall experience, making it worth installing.
Microsoft is first making Windows 10 21H1 available as an optional update to “seekers,” or those who manually perform a check for new updates, running Windows 10 2004 or later. Microsoft will later make it available to further Windows 10 users after being tested with a smaller group at first.
To install the Windows 10 May 2021 feature update, click on the Start Menu > Settings > Update & Security and click on the ‘Check for updates’ button. Windows 10 will perform a quick check and then list the optional ‘Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H1, which you can install by clicking on the ‘Download & install now” link.
While a new version of Windows 10 is now available, Windows 10 21H1 is not a very exciting release with many new features.
Instead, it is being released more as a service pack that fixes bugs and includes performance improvements for existing features.
All of the new features in Windows 10 21H1 are instead targeted to business users and the remote workforce. These new features are:
Edit… The deployment of Microsofts fix is progressing as expected and we continue to anticipate that it’ll complete on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 by 3:00 AM UTC 1PM Eastern Australian Time
Microsoft said that Outlook is suffering “email visibility issues”, with widespread reports of text disappearing after being entered into a new message, and of existing messages having no body text at all.
IT administrators said they were rolling back a recent Office update that appears to be the root cause; both desktop and 365 users are reporting issues.
“We’re investigating an issue with email message visibility in Outlook. Outlook on the web appears to be unaffected,” Microsoft said in a brief status advisory.
Users worldwide reported a variety of text input and visibility problems. There were confirmed reports of the issues impacting Australian and New Zealand users.
“If you hit ‘new message’ and type in the body no text appears. But If you send it the text shows up for the recipient,” one user wrote.
“We have several users that cannot see the text in emails in their mailboxes,” Seth Kamins tweeted.
One user screenshotted the experience, with the body of a new email disappearing every time a new line was entered.
Administrators reported that disabling autoupdate and rolling back to a previous version worked
“Users with access to alternate protocols like Outlook on the web or Outlook mobile can use those as a potential workaround in the interim,” Microsoft later officially advised.
However, not even some of these workarounds were foolproof.
There was no ETA on an official fix or explanation at the time of publication
Microsoft has confirmed that its latest Windows 10 update, version 21H1, will arrive in the fall of this year, first in a tech community post on Feb. 15 and in a more formal company blog post on Feb. 17. This follows Microsoft’s usual pattern of rolling out two major Windows 10 updates per year, with this one following the latest October 2020 update. (If you’re running Windows 7, you can still download Windows 10 free to get the latest updates.)
While we can expect a few useful new features to arrive this spring, it seems likely that Microsoft is using this smaller update cycle to prepare for a larger Windows 10 UI update, reportedly codenamed Sun Valley, that will be part of Microsoft’s renewed focus in Windows 10 that executives mentioned last year. We won’t know exactly what that means until a larger update is confirmed
Windows 10 version 21H1 will be Microsoft’s latest update to the OS, arriving sometime this fall. These updates often end up being called the April or May update.
Usually, Microsoft releases a larger feature update in the Fall, and a smaller one in the spring. But version 21H1 appears to be a more minor update as well, rather than an overhaul.
According to Microsoft’s blog post, new Windows 10 features will include:
“The features we are releasing in this update are focused on the core experiences that customers have told us they’re relying on most right now,” the post said. “So, we optimized this release to support our customers’ most pressing needs.”
According to Digital Trends, the update will also include new icons, updated settings pages and some tweaks to Cortana and the search box experience.
Microsoft said the Windows 10 21H1 update will be available in the first half of the year. A Windows Central report says it will arrive in May, though Microsoft did not confirm this.
In March, Microsoft began rolling out a 21H1 build to Windows Insiders in the Beta program. New features will be offered in future Windows Insider Preview builds as they are ready.
When the update is generally available, it will be the first time an H1 (first half of the calendar year) feature update will be delivered using Microsoft’s servicing technology. That means it’ll arrive the same way that monthly Windows 10 updates do. It’s also the same way the October 2020 update was released. If you’re already running either Windows 10 version 2004 or version 20H2, it’ll be a fast installation process to get the newest update.
When it’s generally available in the fall, you’ll be able to download version 21H1 by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and clicking Check for Updates. If available, you’ll see Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H1. Click Download and install.
