Microsoft Announces Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the Next Free Major Update To Its Desktop OS (venturebeat.com)
Microsoft today revealed that the next free Windows 10 update is called the Windows 10 October 2018 Update ... and it will arrive in that month. From a report: For those keeping track, this is Windows 10 version 1809. Although the company had not announced this update before today, Windows Insiders have been getting builds from Windows 10's RS5 branch since February. Windows 10 October 2018 Update includes a dark theme for File Explorer, a new snipping experience, a cloud-powered clipboard, support for extended line endings in Notepad, integration with the Your Phone app, new web sign-in and fast sign-in features, a mixed reality flashlight feature, SwiftKey in the touch keyboard, and many other improvements. The highly anticipated Sets feature did not make the cut. Windows 10 is being developed as a service, meaning it receives new features on a regular basis. Microsoft has released five major updates so far: November Update, Anniversary Update, Creators Update, Fall Creators Update, and April 2018 Update.
File Explorer is worse than ever. The last major update fucked up file associations for images (to promote their crappy new image program). A few weeks ago I got upgrade nags even though I'm running the corporate edition where you're supposed to be able to set time blocks where nagging doesn't happen. Windows 10 is a pile of shit and Microsoft is playing around with themes.
Seriously, stop breaking RSAT, we kinda rely on that shit to maintain our fucking shit, it's getting old having you break it with each feature build, that brings zero changes to RSAT. fuck off.
