Microsoft is continuing to develop Windows 10, and part of the company's efforts seems to be a new form of quality updates that will be introduced with the release of Redstone 5 (October 2018).
In Windows 10, Microsoft released cumulative updates, which include all previously released fixes in a single package. From technique point of view, installing the latest cumulative update updates the system regardless of whether it was updated in the last month. But in this way the size of cumulative updates grows every month.
Until February 12 2019, Microsoft will also has the delta updates that only include the changes made since the previous cumulative updates, providing updated systems with a smaller package that can be installed quickly.
But to make updates even faster, Microsoft will present a new type of updates by Redstone 5. These updates will be different in three ways: they will be smaller in size, simpler to manage, and redistributable.
New updates will continue to be released through Windows Update and Microsoft says that companies will have many other benefits.
Since this new package informationς θα μπορεί να αναδιανεμηθεί, οι εταιρείες που χρησιμοποιούν τις ρητές ενημερώσεις μέσω του WSUS, του System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or a third-party management solution that supports explicit updates will experience huge savings in network bandwidth and cache size at distribution points or update servers.
"In addition, devices running the next major update of Windows 10 (Redstone 5) will be 40% more efficient during the update, as there will be no background calculations required to receive explicit updates."
New updates will be packaged as .CAB files but will also be available as Update Standalone Installer (.MSU) from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
Windows 10 Redstone 5 is expected to be available to the public from October and could be called Windows 10 October 2018 Update. We should mention that Microsoft's specific effort on updates can be very useful to companies, but also to individuals.
But the updates of personal computers they should be tested more, which is happening on company updates (Window 10: The long journey of paid trust).
