As per a report by Bloomberg, the software will come with “changes to the design, added opportunities for creators and developers via the Windows app store, and ways to more easily build connections between users and communities they care about”. The report by Windows Central further suggests that the Windows 10 update might come with redesigned Start menu, Action Center, File Explorer and Taskbar. To recall, Microsoft was working on **Windows 10X for dual-screen devices** but decided to release the visual elements of Windows 10X in the main version of Windows 10 itself. A report by ZDNet hints that the Windows 10 update might roll out in the second half of this year.
