New features
This version does not differ much from its predecessor, as it was released as a cumulative update for version 1903. These changes are also available in the May 2019 Update, but they are disabled there.


 * The left column of the Start menu (which includes the Sign out and Shut down options) now expands automatically when hovering over it.
 * Search enhancements in File Explorer:
 * The Search bar now shows a list of matches instead of switching to the "Search results" page to show matches there. The user however can still switch to the page by pressing the Enter key.
 * Due to this, the Address and Search bar of File Explorer including the buttons located there are larger than previously.
 * Added ability for third-party digital assistants to be used on the lock screen.
 * Added ability to create an event from the calendar flyout on the taskbar (Calendar app needs to be installed for this to work).
 * Improvements to notification settings.
 * Added the "Manage notifications" link to the Action Center which takes the user to the “Notifications & actions” page in Settings.
 * Added ability for Narrator to detect the state and location of the Fn key on keyboards.

Further updates brought:
 * Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2.
 * The News and interests panel.

Removed features

 * The ability to roam taskbar settings across devices has been removed.
 * The PNRP cloud service has been removed.
