After launching Windows 11 operating system, Microsoft has made it clear that there will be a lot of changes in the Windows operating system from this version. One of the biggest changes that the company has announced is that the operating system will only have one major version update every year instead of multiple smaller updates. The same was two major version updates for Windows 10 in a year and it has been decreased down further. 

However, there is no update from Microsoft on what will happen if a bug arises or there is a need for an update. The second Windows 10 version update is due with the launch of the Windows 11 operating system and that is when users will be able to get hands-on experience on Windows 11. Microsoft has also confirmed that Windows 10 users can directly download and install the Windows 11 operating system when it is made available, which will be supported for the next two or three years, depending on the version.

Once the support period is over, the users will have to upgrade their system. Windows 11 has a lot of different design changes and function changes which makes it a lot easier for the users. Although it is still in the testing phase, it will soon be launched in a couple of months as the public version. However, the decision of adding only one version update in a year could be better for the operating system as it would lead to less bugs and issues during the year.

If you have ever noticed a blue tick mark on the Twitter account, then you should know that it is a way for Twitter to confirm the authenticity of the account. The blue tick on the account name confirms that it has been verified. In order to get the blue tick mark for your account, you will have to contact Twitter and place a request for the same and once you meet their criteria and show the ownership of the account by the genuine person, you get the verification mark. 

However, if the user does not get approved, they are simply rejected without any kind of reason from Twitter. Now, Twitter is going to send more personal mail to the users, letting them know why the verification process of the account was rejected. The company made clear that they have made the changes to make sure that the user gets a thorough explanation as to why they failed to meet the verification requirements. So now the users will not get the generic emails they used to get in the same condition. 

In fact, the email will be personalized as per the user. Twitter has currently opened the verification process only to a few brands, companies, and others who are popular or represent a brand name. The same has not been done for the general public for now, but they will soon be doing it for the public as well and the entire process here will be kept transparent with the users.
