Windows 10 20H1 Update releases on May 26th, brings DirectX 12 Ultimate & Xbox Game Bar improvements

Microsoft has announced that the May 2020 Update, also known as 20H1 Update, for Windows 10 will release on May 26th. This optional update will be available in waves, and will bring a lot of tweaks and improvements to Windows 10.

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 Version 20H1 will officially support DirectX 12 Ultimate. Alongside the new features that DX12 Ultimate will bring are DirectX Raytracing Tier 1.1, Mesh Shader and Sampler Feedback.

Moreover, the May 2020 Update will bring some Xbox Game Bar improvements. For instance, it will add an FPS counter and a performance overlay. Now I don’t know whether these metrics will be better than those of Rivatunner, however, it’s cool witnessing Microsoft improving the Game Bar.

It’s also worth noting that this new version of Windows 10 will improve disk usage for Windows Search. It will also enable Windows Hello PIN in Safe Mode. Furthermore, Task Manager will now display GPU temperature, and it will add Mouse Speed to Settings.

    1. It probably reinvents again how you can access to keyboard language and sound properties. Instead of being hidden behind the 4 menus they will be behind 5 menus.
      While in Windows 7 you only need 1 right click ?

    2. MS had a revenue of 126 billion dollars last year with a profit of 40 billion dollars. It’s pitiful that they won’t spend a few million dollars on a Quality Assurance Team to test these updates for bugs before forcing them on Win 10 users. They use paying customers as beta testers.

      1. Actually, that’s exactly what Microsoft is doing (using paying customers as beta testers). They fired their Quality Assurance teams in 2015 in favour of ‘Telemetry Data Collection’ which uses virtual machines to collect data from insiders’ and normal users’ computers where mandatory updates are pushed.

  1. Oh, is it time to break Windows 10 some more again? Time sure flies between wrecking sessions.

  2. It looks like this update fixes the high use of the disk due to the butchered indexing…looking forward to it

  3. I thought this update was gonna be less significant. Actually has some solid additions here, I’ll keep an eye out for feedback and upgrade when it’s stable.

  4. Lot’s of negative comments here. I’m trying to figure out what’s bs snowflake whinging and what the actual problems are. I was an early adapter of Windows 10 and it’s the best version of Windows ever and I’ve had zero technical issues with it. I’ve been using PC’s since around 1983 and I’ve never used a better OS.

    1. That’s your experience, which means absolutely nothing to anyone else. Here’s mine: (which should mean nothing to you as well) the last two updates bricked my rig twice.
