A closerlook at what Windows 10 S can and can't do

Microsoft is by and large amazingly demure about its most up to date Windows version, so I went burrowing. Here are a couple of points of interest you won't discover anyplace else about what you get with the secured arrangement of Windows 10 S.


As item dispatches go, Microsoft's presentation of Windows 10 S is a standout amongst the most bewildering I have ever observed. 

First off, it seems, by all accounts, to be another release of Windows, however in the official Windows 10 S FAQ Microsoft charges it as "a particular arrangement of Windows 10 Pro," which isn't a similar thing by any stretch of the imagination. (I distributed my own particular Windows 10 S FAQ in light of that data and some extra realities.) 

In the wake of discharging a couple of crude subtle elements at the Surface Laptop dispatch occasion in May, Microsoft has not distributed any nitty gritty specialized data, nor has it discharged assessment duplicates of Windows 10 S in places where IT aces would typically hope to discover them, for example, MSDN. 

Which is... interesting. 

The vast majority of the commentators who taken a gander at the Surface Laptop rejected Windows 10 S with a couple of sentences, generally concentrating on its failure to introduce the desktop applications they required. In any case, there's a whole other world to the "particular arrangement" than simply that limitation. 

As a designer archive clarifies, any applications you introduce on a Windows 10 S PC are liable to "code uprightness rules [that] obstruct the execution of code that isn't marked by the Windows Store, including drivers." [Emphasis added.] That's a key qualification, one that would avoid vast endeavor or instruction establishments from side-stacking line-of-business applications as they can do on Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise. 

The Windows 10 S Driver Requirements page takes note of that various Windows parts are "obstructed from executing on Windows 10 S." The not insignificant rundown incorporates the accompanying instruments that numerous IT experts and engineers would consider fundamental: bash.exe, cdb.exe, cmd.exe, cscript.exe, csi.exe, dnx.exe, kd.exe, lxssmanager.dll, msbuild.exe, ntsd.exe, powershell.exe, powershell_ise.exe, rcsi.exe, reg.exe, regedt32.exe, windbg.exe, wmic.exe, wscript.exe. An associate affirmed that even the Windows Command Processor, cmd.exe, can't run intuitively in Windows 10 S. 

Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and different programs won't be permitted on Windows 10 S unless they're revamped to utilize the worked in HTML and JavaScript motors given by the Windows Platform. The brilliant cash says that won't occur. 

Other item classes will likewise be illegal from the Windows Store, including outsider antivirus programming, reinforcement projects, and circle utilities that utilization record framework channel drivers. 

You can't change the default program or web crawler, nor would you be able to utilize the ApplicationDefaults/DefaultAssociationsConfiguration strategy with cell phone administration programming, as you can with Windows 10 Pro. 

Driver bundles can't contain any "non-Microsoft UI segments or applications." That's terrible news for gadgets that add their own setup utilities to open propelled highlights. 

A gadget running Windows 10 S can't join a Windows area, which implies it can't be overseen by Active Directory, just by the less fit Azure AD join. 

Anybody searching for a broadly useful tablet will, properly, be frightened away by those limitations. In any case, they're critical to the remarkable strategic offer of Windows 10 S, which offers a Windows setup that dumbfounded clients can't mess up, regardless of the possibility that they attempt. 

Actually, it's a harbinger of things to come. Stamp my words: Windows 10 S offers a sneak look at the eventual fate of Windows, regardless of the possibility that the present is chaotic and incomplete.
