Yesterday, Microsoft released the Windows 10 November 2019 Update. It’s a small update, with a small list of new features. It’s no surprise, since Windows 10 version 1909 is really just an enablement package that lights up some new features and bumps up the build number. Version 1903 and 1909 are even serviced with the exact same cumulative updates.
Microsoft has updated its support documents to show which features are being removed or deprecated in the new update. Being that this is a small update, it should come as no surprise that this list is small as well.
And then there are the features that are being deprecated. This means that these features are still included in the OS, but they’re not longer being actively developed. It also means that they may be removed in a future release.
My People is probably the most consumer-facing feature that’s being deprecated. Presumably, it wasn’t being used much.
The next feature update is Windows 10 20H1, which is due out in the first half of 2020. The good news is that it’s pretty much done, so if a deprecated feature on the list isn’t removed just yet, it probably won’t be.
