Features Missing or Replaced in the Windows 10 May 2020 Update (Version 2004)

Windows 10 May 2020 Update Version 2004: Features that are being played down by Microsoft

Microsoft has given details about the features they are no longer working on in Windows 10, which some of them has been removed in the latest version 2004. It is claimed that these features are no longer under active development and might be removed in future update.

With every Windows 10 update release, there are new features added and there are inactive features that are being removed.

The three features Microsoft is no longer developing in the Windows 10 2004 version include:

a.   Companion Device Framework – This was restricted to approved developers and was designed to enable IoT devices to be used as an external authentication device for Windows Hello on Windows 10 PCs that lacked the function. For example, an infrared camera for facial authentication.

b.   The legacy Microsoft Edge browser – This has been replaced with Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge browser, which isn’t shipped with Windows but is available automatically via Windows Update.

c.   Dynamic Disks – Microsoft says this feature will be fully replaced by the RAID-like Storage Spaces software in a future release. The feature helps protect data from drive failures.

Features removed from Windows 10 version 2004 include:

a.   Cortana – With the latest release of Windows 10, Microsoft decided to release its Cortana Assistant as a standalone app. This version of the Cortana app was made available last week for systems running Windows 10 version 2004. Microsoft plans to update and improve the app via updates from the Microsoft Store over coming months. Eventually it will integrate Cortana with Teams so that people can use voice commands on the Teams Mobile Clients.

b.   Windows To Go

c.   Mobile Plans and Messaging Apps
