For Windows 10, the Windows Feature Experience Pack will come with improvements to a small range of features.
Microsoft is exploring a new way to use its ‘Windows Feature Experience Kit’ to roll out app upgrades. Tiny updates to only a few features in Windows 10 can come with these feature packs. With Windows Insiders, Microsoft is exploring this for the first time with no word on whether it will hit businesses and consumers.
For Windows 10, the Windows Features Experience Packs could mean that Microsoft is carrying out minor updates. At present, in April and October, it provides two significant Windows 10 upgrades. It also periodically rolls out service packs that come with changes in security and efficiency. Insiders will be rolling out the Windows Feature Experience Packs the same way they get builds and combined updates.
Microsoft said in a blog post that they will expand those functionalities and interactions that are now generated independently of the OS with the Windows Feature Experience Pack.
The beta channel has launched Microsoft’s first Windows Feature Interface Pack. Microsoft said it begins with a small range of features, “very scoped”. For only two parts, also the first one has changed. It helps Windows Insiders to “create a screen snippet and one can paste it directly into a folder of their choice in File Explorer to save the screenshot there using the built-in screen snipping method.
This feature pack can be tested for by Windows Insiders by heading to Configuration > Upgrade & Security > Windows Update. The upgrade also allows beta testers to have their computers updated with 20H2 Build 19042.662.
