Windows 10 as a service means Microsoft will send out new features as they are ready, these feature updates will arrive sporadically alongside the monthly “quality updates”. One interesting question is what kind of update is Anniversary? It is a massive feature rich upgrade for sure, but Microsoft would prefer is we called it a feature update because the company sees Windows 10 differently from previous builds. The company has been dropping preview features all over the place in preparation for the update. The Anniversary Update has been known under the codename Redstone and has been the subject of Microsoft’s focus (at least in the Windows business) over the last few months.

The long and short of it is that the company has revealed the Windows 10 Anniversary Update will drop on Aug 01, 2016.Īnd so will end a rather long update process. However, the proverbial cat was out of the bag and Microsoft returned with the full press release you can check out at the source. The company appeared to prematurely send out a notice of the release date with a post that had the announcement headline but no content, it was quickly removed. Now the company seems to have gone fully official with a press release and blog post that say we have just under five weeks until the Anniversary Update starts rolling out. Microsoft sort of announced that the Windows 10 Anniversary Update will be arriving on Aug 2, before removing that announcement.
