Microsoft werkt hard aan zijn volgende feature-update voor Windows 10. Die update komt in april 2019 beschikbaar en draagt de codenaam 19H1. Er wordt verwacht dat deze update meer wijzigingen en features toevoegt, zoals Windows Sets, waarmee gebruikers browservensters en apps kunnen groeperen. Daarnaast wordt de UI verder verfijnd en worden er verbeteringen doorgevoerd.
De changelog vanuit Microsoft is op het moment van schrijven nog niet compleet en er zal nog het een en ander worden toegevoegd.
Wel zien we bijvoorbeeld al dat Microsoft veranderingen doorvoert aan zijn Windows Shell. Zo moet er een nieuw licht thema komen waarbij ook de taakbalk, het startmenu en andere delen van de Shell licht worden gemaakt, zoals je hieronder kunt zien:
