There is a major update, named Redstone 2, which is currently deployed or being deployed, for Windows 10.

Next one will be named Redstone 3 and should be deployed on september 2017.
It is about power throttling.

Here is what was said by Bill Karagounis, Director of Program Management, on april 18 2017 :

Introducing Power Throttling.

Most people running Windows like having multiple apps running at the same time – and often, what’s running in the background can drain your battery. In this latest Insider Preview build (Build 16176), we leveraged modern silicon capabilities to run background work in a power-efficient manner, thereby enhancing battery life significantly while still giving users access to powerful multitasking capabilities of Windows. With “Power Throttling”, when background work is running, Windows places the CPU in its most energy efficient operating modes – work gets done, but the minimal possible battery is spent on that work.
…
1.Microsoft relies much on feedback.
…
2. Control power throttling system-wide, using the Power Slider. Windows works hardest to keep the processor in its efficient ranges when you’ve selected “Battery Saver” or “Recommended”, and turns off completely when you’ve selected “Best Performance”
3. Opt individual apps out from Power Throttling:

Go to Battery Settings (Settings > System > Battery).
Click on “Battery Usage by App”.
Select your app.
Toggle “Managed by Windows” to “Off”.
Uncheck the “Reduce work app does when in background” checkbox.

Note that benchmark results may vary with power throttling turned on. While most benchmarks run fine and produce great performance results, some benchmark processes may be affected by throttling. Our general recommendation is to always run performance benchmarks while plugged in, as power throttling does not apply in that case.
Developer note: Power throttling is designed to work well with applications out of the box, but we recognize that in some cases, application developers may be able to provide additional power savings by having more fine-grained control over Power Throttling. We will have APIs to provide more fine grained control in upcoming flights. Please make sure to watch out for API updates on MSDN.
*Power throttling is a temporary working name for this capability and may change during the course of the development cycle for the next release of Windows.

My first impression is this :

Microsoft ignores the fact that it is already very complicated to work while being under W10.
Now they want us to spend more time fine tuning the system with Power Throttling.
What will do the common user ?
