Windows 10 October 2020 Update

Windows 10 October 2020 Update is an update to Windows 10 which was released on 20 October 2020.

This version drops the YYMM numbering scheme, introduced with the Windows 10 November Update, in favor of the half-year based YYHx scheme already used previously for codenames since the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. However, the former scheme is still used internally to keep compatibility with older applications.
