The latest Windows 10 feature upgrade, dubbed by Microsoft as the May 2019 Update, has hit the stable update stream and all PC system owners are enjoined to get it. Months of beta testing and a deliberately delayed arrival should erase any fear that the OS bump could lead to a glitch. So far, all signs are showing that it will be smooth sailing for version 1903.
One thing that builds confidence about the spring update is Microsoft's decision to give Windows 10 users the final say on when is the best time to upgrade, a move described by AnandTech as "a new approach to update." In the new version, would-be upgraders have the option to pause the incoming OS jump if only to make sure that they would not get bogged down by unexpected hiccups.
It might be a baby step but the initiative by Microsoft is certainly laudable, the publication added. And it helps that along with the entry of version 1903, the Windows maker saw it prudent to introduce a monitoring tool called Windows Health Dashboard that allows users to view the issues plaguing the software.
That is transparency on the part of Microsoft, which the company hopes would guide millions of users in making the big jump from Windows 10 versions 1803 and 1809.
If this new feature will not get the vote of Windows 10 users, then there are more reasons to convince them that it is, in fact, a great install. One is the option given to users to get rid of unwanted native Windows applications, which should indicate that with the new OS version users to get to wield greater power on what to do with Windows 10, The Verge reported.
In the same way, Windows users who are not fond of Cortana will likely welcome the news that the AI is no longer bundled with the Search box. And the Search Menu has been streamlined and now sports a leaner, cleaner look.
In the areas of safety and security, the introduction of Windows Sandbox is indeed an extra treat. With this feature, users can test drive apps in an isolated environment then deleting everything to keep the system safe, secure and healthy.
As for those who might be expecting an eye-candy with version 1903, the new Light Theme might just do the trick. This also serves as a break to the Dark Mode that was activated with the last upgrade deployment.
Microsoft has indicated that in order to eliminate the likelihood of debacles seen in previous releases, Windows 10 version 1903 will make its way to systems around the world in stages. But for those who cannot wait, the new build is ready for the taking anytime with users having the say on how to go about with the installation.
