Windows 10X, Microsoft's operating system for dual-screen devices, will be able to download and install an update in less than 90 seconds, according to a lofty promise from the software maker. Updates in standard Windows 10 can usually take a while to update and install, so if Windows 10X can actually download and install an update, and reboot the device, in less than a minute and a half, so this is a very impressive improvement. Microsoft appears to have accomplished this by separating the Windows 10X operating system from other software, such as apps, which will run in "containers," essentially small emulators separate from the operating system. . This allows Windows 10X to download and install the update in the background and then switch to the new updated version of the operating system when the device is rebooted. If Windows 10X handles this, it will make it a much more convenient operating system than full Windows 10. Windows 10 has also recently been the subject of a known release of bad updates, so anything Microsoft can do to update it better is welcome in our opinion.

Running applications in containers brings a number of other benefits, as Microsoft explained during its Windows 10X Developer Day, held on February 10, 2020, to showcase the new operating system to developers. Since the applications will run in containers, it means that they will be separated from important system files and operating system data. This will result in a much more secure operating system, since any application or program that contains malicious code, such as viruses, would not be able to infect the main operating system. This will also allow for better app compatibility and should mean that existing apps and programs running on standard PC laptop and hardware on Windows 10 should be able to run on Windows 10X devices with minimal configuration. A Microsoft presentation shows that there will be three types of containers for Windows 10X: Win32, MSIX, and Native (UWP). With the Win32 container, standard applications running on Windows 10 should be able to run in the container, offering almost the same level of performance as a native application. Windows 10X certainly looks like an exciting new version of Windows, and Microsoft's dual-screen Surface Neo will be the first device to launch when it launches later in 2020. If you can't wait until then, Microsoft has released a Windows 10X emulator that It allows you to test a first version of the operating system, although it is mainly intended for application developers, therefore it is not representative of what the final Windows 10X software will look like.
