Hopefully they will at least not shove things into the packages that ship to LTSC updates as well. They did that with a cloud backup app awhile ago and it pissed a ton of people off.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


And last November, Microsoft decided to release a fairly major batch of Windows 10 updates that introduced the Copilot chatbot and other changes to the aging operating system.

Per usual for Windows Insider builds, Microsoft may choose not to release all new features that it tests, and new features will be released for the public version of Windows 10 "when they're ready."

One thing this new beta program doesn't change is the end-of-support date for Windows 10, which Microsoft says is still October 14, 2025.

Microsoft says that joining the beta program doesn't extend support.

Beta program or no, we still wouldn't expect Windows 10 to change dramatically between now and its end-of-support date.

We'd guess that most changes will relate to the Copilot assistant, given how aggressively Microsoft has moved to add generative AI to all of its products.

I've got Win 10 and it works fine. I have no reason to upgrade to Win 11. If any new 'feature' gets added to Win 10, I will disable it.

Nobody wants new features. If they wanted new features they would have gone to W11 already. They just want less bullshit.
