Invites are being sent to the media for the launch event, in which Microsoft is expected to unveil its successor to Windows 10.

Microsoft recently dropped plans to launch Windows 10X, a simplified version of Windows that was being positioned as a rival to Chrome OS. The company said the work on that operating system would instead be folded into the main Windows operating system and we’re likely to see the fruits of that on June 24.

What form the “next-generation” Windows will take isn’t yet clear. When Microsoft launched Windows 10 back in 2015, it said it wasn’t planning to release another major version of the desktop operating system, but would instead continue to drip updates as and when features were developed.

Over the past few years, it has fallen into a twice yearly update schedule, with one major feature release per year and one minor update, in addition to the monthly security patches.

However, the most recent update ‘feature’ update to Windows 10 was a desperately damp squib with no significant features added, suggesting that developers had been diverted to a new project.
