Microsoft has started testing an update for Windows 10 that it plans to release in 2020. It wasn’t expected that Microsoft would be testing this update right now as it is known for testing them at a later period. This news has been confirmed by Dona Sarkar, an insider at Microsoft’s Windows who said that additional testing is required for this new 2020 update. The tech giant hasn’t yet started testing its next 2019 update which is codenamed 19H2. The update which is codenamed 20H1 belongs to the 2020 update. Microsoft confirmed that it is being worked on.
Microsoft hasn’t yet revealed the features of this update. However, it has released the first beta build for testers.

The testing of the 19H2 will reportedly start later this spring, which is right ahead of us. The testing of another update, codenamed as 19H1 is going to start in the month of April. The Spring 2019 update includes a new light theme, Kaomoji support, a separation of Cortana from Windows search and a new built-in Office app.
Microsoft had also announced the new light theme to the Windows 10 last year during November.
