Microsoft's Windows 10 tries to stop pointless multi-tasking

A user demonstrates the look and feel of Windows 10 operating system for smartphones and at the Microsoft stall at the CeBIT technology fair in Hanover, Germany. How do you freshen up a venerable operating system like Windows 10, and get you to care, especially when you release an update to the software as frequently as every six months or so? Microsoft's approach this time around starts out with a name change, following up the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, with what the company is calling the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. It's a rather curious name choice, in that you can't go grab the update manually until the very last day of April. And most won't see the update until it starts otherwise rolling out on May 8 Microsoft says this latest iteration of Windows is still about helping you create stuff, only doing so in ways that better maximize your time.
