Microsoft's latest move has received several criticisms from users like Tim Sweeney, the co-founder of Epic Games. Sweeney attacked Microsoft in a Twitter rant stating that the changes are "anti-user" and "anti-competitive."
The upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update with a codename Redstone 2 will add a new feature that allows blocking the installation of apps outside Windows Store. This will reportedly help to prevent the installation of malware and bloatware that could infect the PC. This is like the MacOS introduced by Apple.
The new feature will block classic Win32 apps including Photoshop, Adobe, and Google Chrome. The Windows 10 Creators Update will keep users safe. There are also similar Win32 apps from Windows Store that can be converted using Microsoft's Desktop App Converter.
Microsoft is also testing Windows 10 Cloud; the name does hint that it is powered by the cloud. The creator of the software has not yet revealed the official Windows 10 Cloud, Microsoft doesn't discuss it either. Although screenshots were leaked online recently showing that it is somehow similar to regular Window 10.
Microsoft is still in the process of finalizing the Windows 10 Creators Update with a version number of 1703 to polish the new features and fix the bugs before officially releasing it in April.
