Microsoft Windows 12 Might Finally Get Faster Updates: Here’s How

Microsoft Windows 12 might finally say goodbye to long wait times for its users as it is finally likely getting faster updates right off the bat.

It looks like the renowned software maker is gearing up to dish out more frequent updates for its next-generation operating system, Windows 12.

Microsoft Windows 12 Faster Updates

Windows updates are sometimes frustrating as it takes time to download and install, which for some users, stalls the day-to-day grind. It sure is a bummer. But despite that, these software releases are completely necessary. It usually brings nifty new features, bug fixes, and most importantly, security patches. It helps improve the overall experience of users afterward.

Although Microsoft has significantly improved it through the years, it still needs work. With that, it looks like the tech giant is preparing to address just that in time for the release of Windows 12.

According to a recent report by Windows Central, Microsoft is now busy working to make the next-generation OS remarkably lightweight than its predecessors, including Windows 11. And in turn, it should finally bring faster updates. It should prevent users from spending some time installing these necessary software releases.

How Microsoft Plans to Roll Out Faster Windows Updates

The report notes that the tech behemoth is working on a new concept that will strip down Windows 12, which goes by the name "CorePC."

To bring faster system updates, the CorePC concept seeks to rely on "state separation." As the name suggests, it plans to separate the operating system into multiple partitions.

As per PC World, these potential Windows 12 partitions should allow the system to update separately, which could likely lead to faster updates. So it looks like the solution to Microsoft's long-time issue is the integration of "state separation."

Windows Central notes that iPadOS and Android also support various partitions, which prevents users and third-party apps from accessing read-only counterparts. And as such, it also helps make the software a bit more secure.

Currently, Windows 11 still relies on a single partition. All files, including system files, program files, and the data of users, are stored together.

On the other hand, the new version of Windows could potentially separate these files into various partitions, making things less cluttered. One of the most notable possible benefits is the faster OS updates.

However, do take this with a grain of salt. Microsoft has yet to confirm if Windows 12 adopting the "CorePC" concept.

It is worth noting that the tech behemoth plans to release Windows 12 sometime in 2024. So official details about the next-generation OS might see the light of day soon.
