Microsoft has confirmed that it will not launch Windows 10X in 2021, and hinted that it may never be available.

John Cable, the head of Microsoft Windows Services and Delivery, confirmed on Tuesday that Windows 10X will not be available in 2021.Instead, Cable shared Microsoft's plan to integrate the functionality of the operating system into other parts of Windows.

He said: "We did not launch a product called Windows 10X to the market in 2021 as originally planned, but instead used the lessons learned from our journey so far to accelerate the integration of key fundamental 10X technologies into Windows. Other parts of the company and the company’s products."

This decision was made after a year of dialogue and other explorations with the customer.Cable said that Windows "recognizes that Windows 10X's technology can be used in more ways to serve more customers than we initially thought."

Microsoft released the Windows 10X operating system in 2019 and also released dual-screen devices such as Surface Neo.It should be an evolution of the iconic operating system, with a streamlined and simplified design and feature set.

However, in July 2020, there were reports that the development of Windows 10X was delayed.At the time, it was suggested that the operating system might debut in 2021.In early May, another report indicated that the development project may have been completely abandoned.
