Spotlight: Microsoft has sent invites to an event on June 24th, at 11:00 am ET, asking users to join them “to see what’s next for Windows.” The event will be hosted by Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella and Chief Product Officer Panos Panay.
During the Build conference a week ago, Microsoft teased the “next generation of Windows.” What will change with the next major Windows release is unknown until something official is announced; however, if the Sun Valley enhancements make it to this release, it could mean a significant UI overhaul is on the way, including the redesign of old icons and the addition of a floating start menu. The update could also include a huge makeover of the Microsoft Store, which has been widely publicized.
Both users and developers would undoubtedly enjoy the rumored aesthetic upgrade, simpler program management, and support for unpackaged Win32 apps.
Microsoft has indicated that, despite the cancellation of Windows 10X, it intends to include some of its features into Windows 10. While we wait, you can update your PC with the Windows 10 May Update, which includes much quality of life improvements. This update will not revitalize your system, but the accompanying improvements will be greatly appreciated.
If you’re interested in watching the reveal of the “next-generation of Windows,” set a reminder and tune in on June 24th at 11:00am ET.
