Microsoft Windows 10 is a popular, free operating system developed by Microsoft for computers. Here’s an overview:
History and Development
Windows 10 was first released in July 2015 as a successor to Windows 8, building upon the features and improvements introduced in Windows 8.1. The final version of Windows 10 was released on October 26, 2016.
Key Features:
- Multi-Tasking: Windows 10 introduces a new interface called Cortana, which allows users to manage tasks across multiple apps with voice commands or by simply pinning frequently used apps to the taskbar.
- Windows Hello: The operating system uses biometric authentication (Face Recognition) or fingerprint recognition for secure login and unlocking computers.
- Smart Start: A new feature that learns user behavior and recommends relevant actions, such as opening frequently accessed apps or files.
- Windows 10 S Mode: Designed for mobile devices, it provides a more streamlined user experience by disabling unnecessary features like the Start menu and taskbar to create a distraction-free environment.
- Universal Apps: The operating system allows developers to build Windows apps that run on multiple platforms (PC, IoT, etc.), making it easier to develop cross-platform applications.
Operating System Architecture
Windows 10 runs on an x86 architecture, which means it uses the Intel x86 instruction set and supports 64-bit computing. This architecture provides a foundation for running modern operating systems like Windows.
Process Management
Windows 10 manages processes using its Task Manager (Task Scheduler), Process Explorer, and Performance Monitor tools to optimize resource utilization, memory usage, and system performance.
Security and Updates
The operating system includes various security features, such as:
- Windows Defender: A built-in antivirus app that scans for malware and protects against viruses.
- Microsoft Defender Network Protection: Provides protection against network threats and vulnerabilities.
- Smart AppLocker: Restricts access to system files and programs based on user permissions.
Updates and Compatibility
Windows 10 receives regular updates, known as monthly security updates and feature updates, which include bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features like the ability to run Windows 10 on older hardware (64-bit) without upgrading.
Microsoft continues to develop new features and technologies in subsequent versions of Windows, such as Windows 11, Edge, and IoT Core.
