Windows 10 Microsoft Reduced Roll back Grace Time

Windows 10 Reduced Roll back grace time which helped users to roll back to the preceding windows.

Before the Windows 10 Anniversary update Users who upgraded to Windows 10 were able to roll back to the preceding Windows as long as they did so within 30 days. To make that possible, Microsoft stored the older operating system in a special folder on the device's drive, After the grace period expired, the folder's contents were deleted.

Microsoft regularly pointed out that users could restore Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 within the 30-day span if they were dissatisfied, thought they had been pressured into upgrading, or believed they had been duped.

With last week's Anniversary Update, aka version 1607, the 30 days were reduced to 10.

This also applies to reverting to a previous build of Windows 10 for testers participating in the Insider program.

With last week's Anniversary Update, aka version 1607, the 30 days were reduced to 10. Microsoft identifies its major upgrades using numerals representing year and month of the release.

Microsoft said that the behind-the-scenes change had been triggered by data gleaned from the voluminous telemetry it collects from Windows 10 devices. "Based on our user research, we noticed most users who choose to go back to a previous version of Windows do it within the first several days," a spokesman said in an email. "As such, we changed the setting to 10 days to free storage space used by previous copies."
