14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has shipped Windows 10 cumulative update KB5001478 to Windows Insiders, bringing the OS build number to 21332.1010.
And while at the first glance the release of a new cumulative update is big news for users, this one is only supposed to let Microsoft test the servicing pipeline.
So in other words, it doesn’t include any changes, so don’t get too excited about it if you’re in the Dev channel and this cumulative update shows up on Windows Update.
Windows 10 build 21332
On the other hand, if you’re not already on build 21332, you should install it.
And it’s all because it comes with some improvements for the news and interests experience, further refining this feature ahead of the big launch planned for later this year.
“The news and interests flyout experience will now show two columns of content, making it easy to quickly glance over your feed of weather, headlines, money, and more,” Microsoft explained in the release notes of this build.
“By default, it will open via hover or click. Based on your feedback, we will also be introducing an option to only open via click in a coming update. As a result of these changes, we’re resetting the roll out of news and interests to Insiders in the Dev Channel. This means that Insiders who previously had news and interests enabled on their taskbars may see it go away. Don’t worry, we hope to make news and interests available to everyone in the Dev Channel soon!”
In addition, this update has also introduced another change related to the apps that come pre-installed. Beginning with this build, Windows 10 would no longer pre-install 3D Viewer and Paint 3D, with the two apps to continue to be available in the Microsoft Store for all users.
