Microsoft have announced that the latest Windows 10 update is soon to be ready (end of May 2019). This is potentially the most significant update that has been released for Windows 10, as it gives control of updates to users, however, it comes with a catch.
Microsoft has announced that users will need up to twice as much free storage on their PCs to receive the Windows 10 “1903” update. The new minimum is 32 GB, double the previous 16 GB stipulation for 32-bit Windows 10 and almost 40% more for the 64-bit editions. For older PCs this could be problematic and it may mean users will need to free up space or make changes to cater for this.
This upgrade was said to give users more detailed control over Windows 10 updates, however, in reality not much more control is in fact given. Users of all Windows 10 versions will essentially only be able to decide when updates are installed by downloading immediately or delaying the update for just over a month.
Although even this simple option could be seen as an improvement due to the previous problems with updates. In October 2018, some users reported that their personal data was deleted and in November 2018, that Windows chose to downgrade itself– due to faulty Windows updates being rolled out.Thus having control to pause or delay could be beneficial to protect against future update bugs.
