The next big update coming to Windows 10 will be called the Creative Update. The codename it's referred to in addition to the Creative Update is Redstone 2.

There's also a changelog of known and discovered updates in the Insider builds, which you can view on ChangeWindows.

Some interesting features coming:

  • Built-in support for USB Audio 2.0
  • For Pro, Enterprise and Education, the range for Active Hours has been enlarged to 18 hours, up from 12
  • On devices with more than 3.5 GB memory, service hosts will be split into individual processes
    • When one process fails, it will no longer take down the whole service host
    • Task Manager will give a better overview of what Windows is doing in these background processes
    • It will be easier to troubleshoot which process is causing issues for both IT pros and Microsoft
    • Process will now all have their own individual permissions, improving security
  • Installing Bash on Ubuntu on Windows will now install version 16.04 instead of 14.04
  • The Registry Editor now has an address bar

Interestingly enough, that page does not yet list "Blue Light" (a placeholder name), which sounds a lot like f.lux. I previously posted some news detailing this and some other new features coming.
