Microsoft is starting to distribute the first of two major Windows 10 updates for 2019. This version has some useful additions.

The May 2019 update has some new tools though it lacks the flashy additions from the 2017 upgrade, which includedA Windows Sandbox tool that allows users to run an app or script to see if it's unsafe and could potentially corrupt their PC.

For Linux users, there's a way to access files inside of Windows' File Explorer instead of having to open a separate window. The Cortana virtual assistant has a separate place on the taskbar — just to the right of the search box — for people who wish to navigate with voice. An Intelligent Active Hours feature recognizes when you're using your PC and will keep from restarting during those times to avoid interruption. Users can check to see if the update is available by visiting the Windows Update feature and hitting the "Check for updates" button. Windows 7 reaches end of support in January 2020.
