Last year, there were some reports that Microsoft was going tochange the default naming conventionof Windows updates.

The decision was made in an attempt to align codenames for Azure and Windows. Microsoft has now decided to introduce the new naming convention for futureWindows 10updates.

Microsoft LeaksterTero Alhonensneaked into the recent Windows 10 SDK build 18950 and revealed that Microsoft plans to name the upcoming 19H2 update asVanadium.

Moreover, the 20H1 update that is expected to roll out in the Spring of 2020 would be calledVibranium.

I think it would be really nice marketing move if the next Windows version (20H1 2020 1st half/2003 2020 March/…) would be called Windows 10 Vibraniumhttps://t.co/g8UvOXlZdk

It seems that Microsoft took inspiration from Chemistry to add a bit of excitement for the upcoming builds. Interestingly, both the names Vanadium and Vibranium seem to be inspired by the elements of the periodic table.

For those who don’t know, the change in the naming convention is a result of thereorganization in the companythat took place last year.

The recent 20H1 Insider Builds revealed that some significant changes are currently in the pipeline forWindows 10.

Keep in mind the fact that both names were previously going rounds on the internet. This is a clear indication that Microsoft finalized the codenames.
