Windows 10's unexpected update leaves users puzzled

Windows 10 may soon receive a minor calendar update, as noted by Windows Latest, citing a discovery by user Phantomofearth described on the X platform. In the Insider programme, in the test build 19045.5435, code was discovered that changes the calendar interface with the clock, and it should be included in the stable release of Windows 10 next month.

The change is not difficult to notice. If the update does indeed go live, Windows 10 will receive a refreshed calendar that visually resembles that of Windows 11. For some, it will become slightly less functional, as the clock will lose the seconds indicator, which may be inconvenient for many users.

More interesting than the calendar update in Windows 10 itself is the fact that such changes are being implemented, especially since the system is losing security support in October this year, and "should not" have received feature updates for a long time. With such moves, Microsoft creates strange confusion and gives the impression that it does not have a specific plan for the further development of Windows 10, although officially everything has been clear for a long time.

Given the upcoming end of Windows 10 support, it is worth considering your decision by October on how to proceed with your computer. Generally, upgrading to Windows 11 is recommended to maintain security and feature updates, but not everyone is interested in or can fully implement it due to the absence of a TPM module on the computer.

For such occasions, Microsoft also plans for the possibility of extending Windows 10 support for a fee, but in practice, this is more of a solution for organisations and companies where migration is not feasible within the standard time, i.e., by October 2025. Unfortunately, others should consider purchasing a new computer or switching to other systems to maintain security.
