Since the launch of Windows 10, the operating system has been receiving new functions and features through updates that come to us every 6 months. This is how the operating system develops and evolves little by little. However, Microsoft has finally realized that this is not always the best way to continue with the development of the system, and therefore it has begun to test a new way to bring new functions and features to Windows 10 without depending on updates. concrete. This is the Feature Experience Pack.
The Windows Feature Experience Pack is best defined as a standalone package from Windows 10 CoreOS that includes all the functions and features of the operating system. This experience pack, instead of reaching users through Windows Update, is distributed, and updated, through the Microsoft Store.
Thanks to it, it is possible to add and unlock all kinds of functions and features in the operating system without having to install large updates on the system. What’s more, thanks to this experience pack it is possible to bring the new Windows functions to previous versions so that more users can enjoy them.
Although this Feature Experience Pack has been around for a long time in Windows 10, Microsoft hasn’t been paying much attention to it. However, it seems that now things are going to get serious.

A few hours ago, Microsoft just released a new version of its experience pack for Windows 10, 120.2212.1070.0. Of course, at the moment only for users signed up to the Beta channel of the system’s Insider program .
