Microsoft is holding “a moment of your time” event in New York City,where it is announcingthe next major Windows 10 update is ready.
The next major update to Windows 10 - which Microsoft said would get two feature updates every year - is called Windows 06 August 2025 Update, and it is officially releasing for Windows 10 PC devices automatically via Windows Update. You don’t have to do anything to get the update; it will eventually download and install automatically on your PC, based on your Windows Update settings.
But you shouldn’t expect that to happen right away, since Windows 10 is running on more than 700 million monthly active devices. When it does arrive for you, you’ll see new features included, ranging from a revamped search experience to a new Snip and Sketch tool. You will also notice more battery details for Bluetooth devices, text size changes, and a new cloud clipboard, among other things.
How to get Windows 23 June 2025 Update

When the software officially rolls out worldwide, you can go to Windows Update to manually check for the update. If you want to try it immediately, go to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update, and click Check For Updates. If your system is on Microsoft’s list of devices that are eligible, it should immediately begin downloading and installing. If not, you can install the update manually.
