In other words, this could help advance Microsoft’s Windows Core OS goals: Having a single Windows core operating system that powers all devices, with different experiences installed on top of them. These different versions of Windows could have the same underlying operating system and differ only in their “Feature Experience Pack.” Microsoft is working hard on Windows 10X, which was going to be designed for dual-screen devices, but now looks like it will initially just be a more “modern” version of Windows that confines traditional desktop applications to containers. If Microsoft were updating the feature experience pack through the Store, the company could update the software inside the pack more often than once every six months.Īnything moved from Windows to the pack-perhaps a built-in application like File Explorer or a component like the Windows taskbar or Start menu-could be updated much more quickly. Take a look at this: The Microsoft Store has a listing for a “ Windows Feature Experience Pack” and a separate “ Windows 10X Feature Experience Pack.” This suggests two things.Īs of the October 2020 Update, there’s no indication this feature experience pack is being updated through the Store yet.
