Windows 10 Lean lacks a few features and apps
Windows 10 Lean’s installer is 2 GB smaller than Windows 10 Pro’s, and it lacks some features that some might consider essential such as drivers for CD, wallpapers, DVD drives and some important apps such as Regedit. These apps are not restricted, and once you import them, you’ll be able to run Regedit without any hassle. In other words, this version of the operating system might be smaller, but it’s not also restricted at all. In Windows 10 S mode, this version of the OS launched by default, and it identified itself as Windows 10 CloudE. We’re not pretty sure what Microsoft’s plans are with this SKU. This might be only intended for virtual machines, or the company may be planning to take another shot at offering such a version of Windows to low-powered devices.
Other interesting oddities regarding this new version of Windows
The new version of the OS was spotted by Twitter user Lucan. Lucan also noted another oddity in CloudE/Lean – the fact that Microsoft Edge does not show any download prompts and this practically makes downloading files impossible out of the box. Something else that this user noted is that fact that the installer breaks. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
