Microsoft announced that Windows 10X is officially dead.

When the pandemic struck, Microsoft said that Windows 10X would be developed for laptops with a single screen. Now, the unreleased OS has been killed before reaching the market.

In a statement, Windows servicing and delivery head John Cable said that they would use the key foundational technology of the 10X into other parts of Windows and the company’s other products.
