In addition to monthly security patches, for the last five years, Microsoft has released major 'feature' updates twice a year. That sounds dramatic, but in reality, the plan was for Windows 10 to be updated gradually over time, similarly to the way new features are added to its Office 365 subscription service (now Microsoft 365). However, that all changed with the launch of Windows 10, which the company declared would be 'the last version of Windows'. Until 2015, Microsoft released a brand new version of its operating system every few years.
