Windows 10 build 21286

Windows 10 build 21286 is the second Insider Preview build of Cobalt. This build was released on 6 January 2021 to all Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel.

Changes
"Some of these changes are only available to a small group of Insiders, meaning that not everyone will see them right out of the box, and will roll out to the rest of Insiders soon."
 * A new flyout named News and interests has been added to the taskbar, which allows quick access to an integrated feed of dynamic content such as news and weather.
 * Storage Spaces can now be managed on Settings → System→ Storage. However, the Control Panel page is still available.
 * Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 distros can now be configured to run any specified Linux command at startup. This can be accomplished by editing the  file in the distribution and adding an option titled   under a section titled.
 * Some updates have been done for users that have configured the time zone to be set automatically in Settings → Time and Language → Date & time:
 * When the time zone is updated due to a high confidence detected location change, a notification will appear informing the user about it. The toast will include information about the new time zone and clicking it will open the aforementioned page in Settings.
 * If a low confidence location change is detected and there is a single administrator on the device, a notification will appear asking the user to update the time zone, and clicking the OK option will apply the change.

Enabling News and interests
The News and interests feature was introduced in a controlled rollout, which includes it being disabled on clean installations. To enable it, make sure to have the new Microsoft Edge installed, have the system region set to United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, or India, and use Vibranium Velocity/ViVeTool to run the following commands from an elevated Command Prompt window: vivetool addconfig 29947361 2 vivetool addconfig 27833282 2 vivetool addconfig 27368843 2 vivetool addconfig 28247353 2 vivetool addconfig 27371092 2 vivetool addconfig 27371152 2 vivetool addconfig 30803283 2 vivetool addconfig 30213886 2

News and interests
