Now another quality-oriented update is arriving with the release of the Windows Update, also known as version 21H1, for the first half of 2021. In 2020, as users migrated from Windows 7, the company repeated that strategy. Microsoft dialed back the pace of development in 2019 when it issued a normal update in the first half of the year and followed it up in the second half with an update focused on performance. Two updates came out each year, while Apple's MacOS and iOS and Google's Android got just one.
After introducing Windows 10 in 2015, Microsoft has spent the last few years bulking it up with updates, such as tools for crafting three-dimensional objects, applying photo filters and specifying parts of speech on websites.
