Windows 10 Creators Update (Build 15002): All new features and changes in the practical test
Microsoft has confirmed that it is changing the update cadence of Windows 10 from two to one feature update per year. This means that after the release of version 21H2 (November 2021 Update), each new major update will be released in the second half of the following year.
According to the company, the change was made to match the cadence of Windows 11, which also receives an annual feature update.
The announcement also confirms that version 21H2 is not the last update and Windows 10 will continue to receive feature updates until it is finally retired on October 14, 2025. However, it is still unclear what will be included in these updates, as most features will likely only be available for Windows 11. The November 2021 Update is a minor update that includes few improvements and a very small amount of new features, so subsequent updates will likely be similar.
