Microsoft reveals what's in Windows 10 updates

Microsoft has said it will now reveal what's in Windows 10 updates. Such information will help users work out if something in the update is causing problems with their PC. Soon after Windows 10 launched last July Micrsoft said that it wouldn't always provide details of an update, choosing to do so only depending on its "significance".

Microsoft's early updates for Windows 10 were criticised for giving vague explanations. For one update last August Microsoft simply stated that it "includes improvements to enhance the functionality of Windows 10". In October Microsoft announced plans to reveal more information about updates, though many independent Windows experts were sceptical that it would amount to much. But that all changed on 9 February, when Microsoft issued security fixes for Windows and Office in its monthly 'Patch Tuesday' release. Accompanying the fixes was a new Microsoft website with the heading 'Windows 10 update history'. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-10/update-history-windows-10

On the site Microsoft acknowledged that it had been created in response to feedback from users, and will provide "a summary of important product developments included in each update, with links to more details". It will be "regularly refreshed as new updates are released" in order to serve as a "historical record" of Windows 10's development.
