Microsoft is hard at work on the next major update to Windows 10, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/windows-10-major-changes-coming-in.html">dubbed Redstone</a>, which is due for released in the first half of 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However a new report claims the US technology firm is trimming some of the features initially planned for the blockbuster update.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, Microsoft is believed to the focusing on improvements to some of its internal systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These under-the-bonnet tweaks should help Microsoft find bugs faster, which should speed up development in future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a new report in <a href="https://www.petri.com/microsoft-trims-redstone-features-to-focus-on-onecore-and-other-systems"><em>Petri</em></a>, which cites multiple sources within the Redmond technology company, “development takes time and with multiple weeks allocated to OneCore and other internal systems […] this means to meet their deadline of the first half of 2016, feature priority must be adjusted.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report does not specify what new features Microsoft plans to delay to a later update.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsoft is believed to be experimenting with a number of upgrades to Cortana for its Redstone update, including allowing the voice assistant to float around the operating system.</div>

Microsoft could allow Cortana to follow users as they navigate around the operating system, surfacing useful information based on what users are viewing on-screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The nifty context-aware functionality sounds closer to <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/google-android-60-marshmallow-5-of-best.html">Now On Tap in Android Marshmallow</a> than the infamously annoying <em>Clippy</em> character bundled with Windows 97 to 2003.</div>

Microsoft is also believed to be planning a number of updates to the Notification Centre, also known as Action Centre.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Future versions of this pane are expected to include widgets, offering users quick glanceable snapshots of data, synced across your Windows 10 devices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, none of these features made an appearance in the latest preview version of Windows 10, build 11099, which rolled out to Windows Insider users last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, the latest preview focused on stability and tweaks to the operating system, which runs across tablets, desktops, two-in-one hybrids and smartphones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsoft has previously stated an ambition to get one billion devices across the globe running Windows 10 within two years of the operating system's release.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com</em> was impressed with the new operating system, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/windows-10-review-is-it-finally-time-to.html">in our review we said it marked "a brilliant start to the next chapter for Microsoft Windows.”</a></div>
