Microsoft will be moving to a new codename format starting in 2019 [...] now known internally as 19H1. [...] The "19" stands for the year in which the update is released, and the "H1" stands for the first update of that year. [...] following that format, the update coming after 19H1 would be codenamed 19H2, being the second update for 2019, followed by 20H1, 20H2, and so on.
