Microsoft accidentally leaks Windows 10's modular "Core OS"



Windows Core OS

Microsoft is said to have been working on a modular version of Windows 10 called ‘Windows Core OS’. The software is supposedly being developed to serve as the underpinnings for accommodating devices with multiple form factors, such as Chromebook-like affordable products, dual-screen/foldable devices, and mixed reality headsets like HoloLens 2.


Many have described Windows Core OS or WCOS as the successor to Windows OneDrive and it is the underpinnings of Windows 10X. Windows Core OS looks even more likely, with references to the modular OS being found in Chromium Gerrit.




Today, we’ve spotted references to “Windows Core OS systems” in commits submitted to the Chromium Gerrit by Microsoft Edge engineers. This is the first time we’ve seen Microsoft refer to its long-rumoured operating system using that name in the Chromium Gerrit.


The commit was first submitted on June 8, 2020, and Microsoft’s references to Windows 10’s new modular version have gone unnoticed until now.

According to the commit, it looks like Microsoft is optimizing Chromium to work better on Windows Core OS by fixing “AppContainer” failures.


“On Windows Core OS systems, the character limit for the app container name is 50 characters. Chromium currently supplies app container names > 50 characters. This change shortens the sandbox process names,” the commit reads.


The AppContainer is used for Win32 apps to provide secure sandboxing of the environment and it allows the app to access resources specifically granted to it.


The commit appears to suggest that Microsoft is optimizing Chromium to run inside Win32 containers or sandboxing environment on Windows Core OS and Windows 10X, which cannot be hacked to execute malicious actions outside of the assigned resources.


“This isolates the application from accessing hardware, files, registry, other applications, network connectivity, and network resources without specific permission,” Microsoft noted a support document.
