Windows is in cash-cow mode. It's a mature product that dominates a slowly shrinking market. And in terms of revenue it's not even that great compared to everything else they do. There is no point investing a lot of money.

That money goes elsewhere: pivoting MS Office to the cloud and pushing MS Azure - both by improving Azure and by improving developer tools like VSCode or languages like C# and the rest of the .Net ecosystem. And on the side they have minor projects like Github and LinkedIn.
