Microsoft committed to a biannual major release schedule for Windows 10 back in 2017, and now it confirmed that the “19H2” update set to roll out later this year “will be a scoped set of features for select performance improvements, enterprise features and quality enhancements.”
Microsoft says it will use servicing technology to deliver the new update, meaning the process should be more similar to a regular monthly update rather than a big bi-annual feature update. The new update process will only be available to users who are running Windows 10’s current May 2019 update.

Windows 10 Insider beta testers in the slow ring will get the first rollout of 19H2 starting now, but with no visible feature changes at all while Microsoft tests the update process. Assuming all goes well, it should be available for everyone in September. We’ll see if this staggered feature release brings a future of “seamless OS updates” sooner rather than later.
