Microsoft will separate Edge browser updates from the Windows 10

Microsoft will separate Edge browser updates from the Windows 10

Microsoft is expected to unveil Windows 10 Cloud at its #MicrosoftEDU event. The new SKU of the OS will only run apps that are designed for the Windows Store, and it's meant to be a competitor to Chromebooks in the educational space. 

Unfortunately, there's still one big problem with Windows 10 going head-to-head with Chrome OS. Chrome is updated frequently and seamlessly by Google; however, Microsoft's Edge browser is only updated - aside from security updates - in new feature builds of Windows 10, which only happens twice per year. But according to internal sources.

That's all going to change in September, when the next feature update to Windows 10, codenamed Redstone 3, is released. Users will finally be able to get updates to the Edge browser via the Windows Store, which will allow Microsoft to add new features more frequently.

Can it only be updated in the Windows store, or in addition to the regular Windows Update? Because I don't use the store and I can confidently say I never will. However, I do use Edge (considering how seldom I use Windows for anything other than gaming, Edge works just fine for me).

Another tactic to force people to use their store?

Don't use Edge, but seems like another transparent trick IMO, don't see why they can update it faster via store than WU?

This is just a stripped down free version of Windows 10 for cheaper machines. Those $200 Windows 10 laptops really are only good for Windows store apps. You could always do what Kodi did and submit the app to the Windows store.

Just to note this does not affect anyone building their own machines or buying a machine with Home or Pro. This really does not affect a whole lot of people at all.
