Something to look forward to: Microsoft's first big update for Windows 10 this year brings with it lots of improvements, but with the company focusing on Windows 10X and the necessary modularization work to make that OS a reality, it hasn't managed to smooth out all the rough edges just yet.
Windows 10 is set to receive a new major update in April, one year after they officially started working on it. Dubbed 20H1 or version 2004, this is supposed to be a more significant upgrade than last year's November update (19H2).
You can already download the ISO file to perform an in-place upgrade or a clean install as an Insider, but it's best that you wait for it to be released via Windows Update, as Microsoft is still working on squashing bugs and polishing the release for final delivery. Understandably, the company is also busy getting Windows 10X-powered devices to market, so it'll be taking its time to get it right before pushing it to all users.

One the most interesting features included in Windows 10 version 2004 is something that Mac users have enjoyed for years -- if you're in a pickle and need to use "Reset this PC," you now have the option for a cloud download to perform a reinstall of Windows. This is especially useful if you live in an area with a fast and solid Internet connection, but if you have a metered connection it's worth keeping in mind that it can eat through your data quite quickly.
Do keep in mind that Reset this PC using the cloud doesn't do a factory reset, but the download option will reinstall the current version of Windows instead of the one that came with your device.

Besides saving you the trouble of having a USB drive at the ready for recovering your PC, the new version of Windows will make it possible to use your Windows Hello PIN in Safe Mode for faster login. This can be a great time saver if you have to do some back and forth to figure out what's causing trouble on your device.
