Windows 10 creators update performance

The Creator’s Update, which takes a three-pronged approach, looks meaty on paper.

The Anniversary Update was relatively thin on new features – Windows Ink, a set of new stylus features, was the only headliner. Yet the frequency of updates only matters if the updates themselves are significant. This schedule, if followed, will make Windows 10 more agile than MacOS, Android, iOS, and arguably even Chrome OS (the last does nightly builds, but major features trickle out). The second, currently without an official name, will likely show up in fall. This one is called the Creator’s Update, and it’s just one of two big releases planned for this year. Now, less than a year later, the second big update is almost ready.

One of those updates, the Anniversary Update, hit systems in the late summer of 2016. Windows would move to a modern update schedule like Android and iOS, where significant updates come on at least a yearly basis. Microsoft’s Developer Evangelist, Jerry Nixon, said in May of 2015 that “Windows 10 is the last version of Windows.” He didn’t mean Microsoft was moving on from the Windows OS, he was signaling a change in the way the Redmond giant handles its platform moving forward.
