The first major update to Microsoft’s new operating system is supposedly coming next month, but the highly anticipated Edge browser extensions promised by the software giant likely won’t be included in the Windows 10 Fall Update.

Tech journalist Paul Thurrott has learned from a “trusted source” that Microsoft is planning a November release of Windows 10 “Threshold 2,” the first major update to Windows 10 since its July launch. According to Thurrott, the update will follow Microsoft’s new upgrade standard, where the new version will download in the background via Windows Update.

“Ideally, you will just wake up the PC one day, sign-in, and already be on the new version,” Thurrott writes.

The update will include a number of upgrades originally planned for the initial Windows 10 launch, including colored title bars, better menus and more room for Live Tiles.

But Microsoft is still working on one big update: extensions for its Edge browser. The Verge confirmed Thurrott’s report and added that extensions aren’t coming until next year.

Extensions allow users to augment their online experiences by adding anti-tracking tools, password managers and other customizable features to their browser. While users can add extensions to Internet Explorer or download Chrome to use extensions, Microsoft is likely delaying adoption of its latest browser by continuing to forgo Edge extensions.

Windows Insider members will likely see little change to their machines with the update, but should be glad to hear that the Windows 10 Fall Update won’t require reactivation like previous test builds.
