Microsoft has released the Windows 10 May 2021 Update to all users, fixing the main issues reported in the previous version of the system. The update was made available homogeneously, eliminating new hardware prerequisites, something that was one of the main negative points of Windows 20H2, the previous version of the system. Unlike what we are used to, this update must be done manually within the system settings, and you have to go to Windows Update and download the package.
What's new?
The company said the update brings some new features for Windows users, allowing them to use an external Windows Hello-compatible webcam with a PC that already has a built-in camera, so Windows automatically uses the external camera as the default for Windows Hello. In addition, significant improvements have been implemented in Windows Defender Application Guard so that your documents open faster, while the software scans for possible threats to your machine's security.
Those were the two main new features of the update, although the update also brings improvements to the overall performance of Windows 10.
