Microsoft pulls the plug on Windows 10x, will integrate key features into Windows 10

Microsoft on Tuesday announced it would not release Windows 10X operating system. The OS was said to be a modular version of the software and optimised for dual-screen/foldable devices. Microsoft had also confirmed the version for the single-screen devices as the “first expression of Windows 10X.”

In a blog post, Microsoft said that they had concluded that the Windows 10X should not be limited to a subset of customers. The company added it would integrate some of the 10X “foundational technologies” into Windows.

Here’s what the company said:

Instead of bringing a product called Windows 10X to market in 2021 like we originally intended, we are leveraging learnings from our journey thus far and accelerating the integration of key foundational 10X technology into other parts of Windows and products at the company.
