Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Redstone 1) is now feature-complete. This means no new features will be added to the operating system. Developers are currently focused on bug fixes and improving the stability of Windows 10. If some changes do come with the official release, they should be very minor changes. Any major changes will be included into the next major update to Windows 10, currently known as Redstone 2, which is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2017.

Incidentally, Microsoft also announced that from now on, every year, they will be delivering two major updates to Windows at intervals of 6 months, instead of the earlier planned three updates.

  1. Where can we find a full list of changes in Anniversary update? I’m using a stable version (1511) version of Windows at the moment so I guess that there will be a lot of changes.

  2. I wonder if upgrade 1511 will be a pre-requisite to install this one ?
    For now, still playing around with a 10240 since i’ve learned about the mess on settings and applications.
