Microsoft makes ‘major-minor’ Windows 10 release cadence the new normal
Microsoft will repeat last year’s major-minor cadence for Windows 10’s upgrades, the company said Tuesday.

Cable’s description of the coming process echoed what he had said in July 2019, when he announced a sweeping departure from Windows 10’s previous twice-a-year-upgrade model. He even used phrasing almost identical to last year’s.
“We will deliver this feature update in a new way, using servicing technology (like the monthly update process) for customers running the May 2019 Update who choose to update to the new release,” he said at the time.
