KB5050081, the first non-security patch for Windows 10 in 2025, is also one of the last ones for this operating system, as it will reach its EOS later this year. With the patch, however, the Redmond-based tech giant finally made the new Outlook available as the platform’s client for Windows 10, but isn’t it a bit too late?
Microsoft says the new Outlook will appear in the Apps section of the Start menu, and it won’t make any changes to settings or defaults.
The new Outlook has only recently been made generally available to users, and Microsoft has also preferred to keep the classic version of the app available. Users are not excited about the new version, and many are sticking to the old version despite not having the capabilities of the new one.
The matter of availability should also be discussed, as Windows 10 will soon reach its EOS, and users won’t have many months to experiment with the new Outlook unless they migrate to Windows 11. Why has Microsoft decided just now to release the version of Windows 10? It might involve getting users excited about the app and encouraging them to migrate to Windows 11.
Either way, KB5050081 also brings several other fixes to Windows 10, including a fix for Screen Capture and USB-related bugs for audio drivers and cameras.
