Earlier this week, Microsoft released its latest feature update for Windows 10 – the Anniversary Update codenamed Redstone 1 which brings the said OS to version 1607. This is the third feature update following Threshold 1 (Build 10240 July version) and Threshold 2 (Build 10586 version 1511). As reported before, Redstone will have 2 installments – Redstone 1 and Redstone 2. Redstone 1 will be focusing more on feature updates for PCs and Redstone 2 for Mobile which are due on the anniversary of Windows 10 and 2017 respectively. However, a Microsoft TechNet’s blog post by Nathan Mercer revealed that there will be 2 more feature updates in 2017.
“Windows10, version 1607 is our third Windows10 feature update released. Based on feedback from organizations moving to Windows10, this will be our last feature update for 2016, with two additional feature updates expected in 2017.”
The fifth feature update is assumed to be Redstone 3. There are no clear details on what will be the focus of this update but this might shift again to PC features. We will keep an eye on Redstone 3 and will update you as we get more information.
