Microsoft just reinvented the service pack. Oh, I know that the blog post announcing the release schedule for the 19H2 Windows 10 feature update was filled with highfalutin’ language about a “scoped set of features” and a “less disruptive” installation process. But can we just call it what it is?
This is a service pack.
The 19H2 release, which will probably be called the Windows 10 October 2019 Update, will not include the normal laundry list of new user-facing features. Instead, it will deliver “select performance improvements, enterprise features and quality enhancements.”
