Windows 10 build 20231.1000

Windows 10 build 20231 is the sixteenth Insider Preview build of Iron. It was released as downloadable ISOs and to all Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel on 7 October 2020.

New features
"These features are only available to a small group of Insiders at first, meaning that not everyone will see them right out of the box, and will roll out to the rest of Insiders soon."


 * Relevancy of initial device setup has been updated.
 * Better Management Options for App Default File Associations.

Changes

 * The "Meet Now" feature introduced in build 20221 is now rolling out to all Insiders in the Dev Channel.
 * Graphics card information is now displayed on Settings > System > About.
 * The change to enable moving the text cursor via gestures on the touch keyboard introduced in build 20206 is now rolling out to all Insiders.

New Out of Box Experience
This build contains a new OOBE, with a similar layout to Windows 10X's OOBE. On 8 October 2020, BetaWiki user Lucasm posted a video showcasing it on Twitter. Although this new OOBE is mostly complete, some sections still contain layouts of the former OOBE, such as the EULA. To enable it, download the Vibranium Velocity (Vive) tool, extract the contents from the ZIP file, launch the executable from an elevated Command Prompt window, type the following command, and restart:. After restarting, unless you have ran the command during OOBE, run SysPrep.

Windows Spotlight desktop background
Another hidden change is the ability to use Windows Spotlight images, which appear on the lock screen, as desktop backgrounds. To enable this feature, download the Vibranium Velocity (Vive) tool, extract the contents from the ZIP file, launch the executable from an elevated Command Prompt window, type the following command, and restart:. After restart, you should see a "Spotlight collection" option in Settings > Personalization > Background.

Bugs

 * Live preview doesn't work for pinned site tabs.
 * Some Office applications may either crash or go missing if you update to this build.
 * Some virtualization software have a chance of giving you a BSOD with the error code.
 * There's a chance of randomly encountering a  BSOD.
 * The vEthernet adapter in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distros can become disconnected after a period of use.
 * Some users can receive a Compatibility Assistant notification that says “Microsoft Office is no longer available”. Despite this, Office is still present and working.
 * Selecting an IME candidate or hardware keyboard text prediction candidate may insert the candidate adjacent to the one selected.
 * In some PCs, the taskbar is obscuring the Power button in the Start menu blocking the access to its options. To workaround this issue, use the options from the User menu (Win+X).
 * The Spotlight collection feature is nonfunctional since the endpoint to gather wallpapers is not working.
