However, Build 2019 is just a few months away, and we can only expect to hear more about this project during the event.

If the plan moves forward, we might see “Windows Lite” on a new device form factor currently known as Project Centaurus, which it’s rumored to be the foldable device that may see the light in 2019.Īt this time there isn’t a lot of details other than rumors and several references of “Lite” in the latest Windows Insider preview builds and SDKs for the Windows 10 19H1 development. The most interesting information with Windows Lite is that the final product may not even use the word “Windows,” and it’ll use a different user interface to avoid confusion with Windows 10. Offers extensions in the Microsoft Store but tends to prioritize larger developers, making extensions from smaller developers hard to find. In Chrome, you merely have separate panels for safe browsing, do not track requests, and more.

The plan with Windows Lite is to make the operating system lightweight and connected with the ability to run on any processor. Microsoft Edge also provides simpler privacy settings and security updates. Also, it seems that this won’t be a version that will be able to buy or run on an enterprise or on small office environments as the report suggests that only manufacturers will be able to install Windows Lite on devices.
