Thursday has been a busy day at Microsoft. The tech giant announced its Fall Creators Update during its Build developer conference in Seattle. The company proclaimed that this will be the next major update of Windows 10. Moreover, it also stated that rather than occurring every now and then, it will be released only twice a year. Although, the exact release date of the update is still not known, rumors suggest that it will be in the month of September.
Even though some people expect this update to be a minor one because of having a similar name to that of Creators Update, it won’t be one. The Fall Creators Update will come with a whole bunch of new features. The update will assist users in getting the best experience out of their Windows devices.
