Windows 10 October 2020 Update (v20H2) Is Officially Bug-Free

With Windows 10 21H2, Microsoft is planning major visual changes and improvements as part of its Sun Valley updates. The company is reportedly shelving the development of Windows 10X, designed for dual-screen devices. With this, the Windows maker will be able to focus more on the development and quality of Windows 10.

Windows 10 21H1 update will be dropping in the coming days. If you want to avoid installing a new version for a few months, now is the right time to download and save a copy of version 20H2, which was officially tagged as bug-free last week by Microsoft.
