A new release model called [[Windows as a service]] was introduced with smaller and regular feature updates, as opposed to releasing a major version of Windows every few years. Usually, these updates are a new build of the operating system, although in a few cases Microsoft released feature updates consisting of a limited set of new functionality using the regular cumulative update infrastructure. From 2017 till 2021, feature updates were released twice in a year, with the first feature update being released in April-May and the other in October-November. The schedule was realigned in 2021 in that feature updates for Windows 10 would be released annually in order to be consistent with Windows 11's new release cadence.<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/11/16/how-to-get-the-windows-10-november-2021-update/</ref> | A new release model called [[Windows as a service]] was introduced with smaller and regular feature updates, as opposed to releasing a major version of Windows every few years.
