Microsoft hints at new modern OS for invisible updates

Microsoft at the Computex 2019 hinted at a new modern operating system updates for its new modern PCs. The highlight seems to be that the modern updates will be done invisibly in the background, enabling a seamless update experience with no interruptions.

Microsoft’s modern OS is said to provide a set of enablers that will make the update experience ‘deterministic, reliable, and instant with no interruptions’, the company said in a blog post. “A modern OS, is also secure by default, the state is separated from the operating system; compute is separated from applications; this protects the user from malicious attacks throughout the device lifecycle,” the post reads.
