This is everything that is known about the new annual update of Windows
As happens every year, Microsoft releases a new update to its operating systems. This is a major update, that is, it includes a large number of new features.
The goal of these updates is to get the operating system on the path that Microsoft wants.
Although small updates are made monthly in which different features are added, the most important ones are left for the annual update.
It is important to mention that this is going to be the first major update to this new operating system. And this new update is expected to include some useful new features worth mentioning.
Windows seeks to create a much more robust operating system
The main objective of these updates is to make the system more and more robust. That is why when these updates arrive they include many new features for the system. In this new update, which is cataloged as 22H2 includes a lot of updates.
Next, we will talk about some of the main features that this new update will bring to offer.
A new task manager
The new version of this operating system will bring a new task manager. This is one of the tools that Windows includes and that is worth knowing. For the new big Windows update, the task manager will bring a plethora of options.
The change that the task manager has received has been merely aesthetic. However, it was a makeover that this tool needed.
File explorer changes
The file explorer has also been one of the Windows tools that has received an update. Although the changes have been very small and it is something that is appreciated, there is still a long way to go.
A large number of users today have requested tabs to be included in the file explorer. However, so far this is a feature that Microsoft hasn't unveiled and probably won't be included for a long time.
These changes included being able to drag different types of files to the sidebar. Similarly, now you will be able to see the available OneDrive storage in the tab.
Improved start menu
Another of the improvements that this new update will include can be found in the start menu. While the change from Windows 10 to Windows 11 in the start menu was quite a big one, it is still missing.
Microsoft seeks to give new features to the start menu, which is why it would be considering making some new reforms. As it has been known, it is quite likely that folders will be included in which you will be able to organize your programs.
Surely this already seems familiar to you and it would be something similar to what can already be done on mobile phones.
Drag files and programs to the taskbar
This is a feature already known by many and for some reason, in Windows 11 it disappeared. However, users have asked for it back and Microsoft intends to bring it back.
As it has been known, in the new 22H2 update, this feature would be back. Recall that this was already available from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
More security improvements
The security of the operating system is one of the features that matters most to Microsoft and that is why it works hard to make a system that is completely secure.
One of the new features that this system will bring will be smart app control. With this function, Windows seeks to detect and block those unwanted applications.
This feature is already available in build 22567 and its function is to block potentially unwanted applications. This would work in conjunction with Windows Defender and would be an additional layer of security.
When would this new update be available?
The exact release date of this new update has not yet been defined. However, rumors say that this could arrive sometime in the summer. Microsoft engineers are hard at work making Windows a better operating system.
Due to the nomenclature of this new version 22H2 "Sun Valley", we are clear that it will arrive in the second half of the year. And it is that "H2" means, just that, an update for the second half of the year.
