History

 * One day prior to this build's release, a screenshot of this bulld was released by a Microsoft employee on GitHub on 29 September 2020.

Changes

 * Windows notifies you when an NVMe SSD is about to fail. Clicking on the notification or navigating to Settings -> System -> Storage -> Manage disks and volumes -> Properties will provide an insight to what is happening with the drive.
 * Updates to the Your Phone app, including a redesigned settings page.

Theme-aware splash screens
This build also contains redesigned splash screens for UWP apps, which no longer use an accent-colored background and use instead a black or white one depending on the theme. Although they aren't enabled by default, they can be enabled via the Vibranium Velocity (Vive) tool. To do 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 restart, the splash screens should be updated. However, this only supports the following apps, meaning that any other app that is not in the list will still have an accent-colored splash screen after enabling the feature:


 * Microsoft Store
 * Feedback Hub
 * Settings
 * Groove Music
 * Movies & TV
 * Snip & Sketch
 * Windows Security

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.
