According to Windows Central, Microsoft is working on a new “modern” version of Windows with improved security and quicker updates. The CorePC concept would enable Windows to scale better for multiple devices while still supporting older software.
CorePC would pursue many of the same aims as the now-defunct Windows Core OS (including the also-defunct Windows 10X), which Microsoft promoted as a modular upgrade of its operating system. CorePC, like iOS and Android, would employ “state separation” to divide Windows into numerous partitions. This may make it more difficult for malware to penetrate the machine while also speeding up updates.
