When released, the Windows 10X operating system will support both modern universal and web applications as well as classic Win32 applications. Microsoft , stated that they will run in a container, which will help protect the system from viruses and crashes.
It is noted that almost all traditional programs, including system utilities, Photoshop, and even Visual Studio, will run inside the Win32 container. It is reported that containers will have their own simplified Windows kernel, drivers, and registry. Meanwhile, such the virtual machine will only launch when necessary. However, the devil is traditionally in the details.
The company announced that there will be restrictions on running outdated applications on Windows 10X via containers. For example, extensions for the 'Explorer' created by third-party developers are unlikely to work. TeraCopy for copying and moving files will also probably not function.
Similarly, applications located in the system tray, such as battery percentage calculators, volume regulators, or temperature monitors, may not operate in 10X. Currently, the corporation does not plan to allow the use of such elements in the new OS. However, this may change by the release date.
It is also worth noting that the operating system will run in a 'paranoid' mode. It will be able to run applications downloaded not from the Microsoft Store, but they must have a good reputation and signed code. However, the registry editor for optimizing Windows will not be available.
Microsoft promises that the performance of legacy applications will be close to native, but this will only be confirmed once the system hits the market.
