Microsoft is working on first major update to Windows 10

Microsoft is reported to be hard at work on its first major update to Windows 10. This new update codenamed "Redstone" will feature a ton of bug fixes and improvements.

It was previously revealed that "Threshold 2", a minor update, will be out sometime in October. This release date was later moved to November, according to Tech Times. In addition to a couple of bug fixes, Threshold 2 brought some extensions for Edge, the Redmond-based tech giant's new browser.

Redstone, on the other hand, is a much bigger update. Although this may be true, it’s still not expected to massively overhaul the OS. It will, however, improve Windows 10's user interface, as well as fix a bunch of problems.

Programmers apparently have been hard at work developing Redstone for several weeks now, especially since news about the update first came out in April. At this point, it’s not been revealed precisely what features Redstone will bring since it’s far too early.

Windows 10 was first launched in July. Since then, the OS has been installed in more than 110 million devices. Since Redstone is the first major update Microsoft will release for Windows 10, it’s safe to assume a lot of today's users are also keeping tabs on the upcoming update, according to another report from Tech Times.

"In just a few short months, it has been incredible to see more than 110 million devices already running Windows 10," Terry Myerson, the executive vice president of Microsoft wrote on Windows Blog.

It would appear Redstone is going to be rolled out to the public a year after the OS first went official. That said, the update is expected to be out sometime before July 2016.
