Microsoft has just released a new Windows 10 preview build, this time for insiders in the Dev channel and fortunately with some fresh capabilities as well.

Windows 10 build 21370 comes with an improved Bluetooth audio experience, as Microsoft says that it has specifically tried to offer a unified audio endpoint on the operating system.

“No more clicking through multiple audio endpoints to make your Bluetooth headset’s voice and mic work properly. We now only expose one audio endpoint in the UI and will switch to the correct one automatically for you for a seamless experience. Listening to Spotify and then have to hop onto a Teams call? You can also now directly control the volume of your headset,” it explains.

In addition, this build comes with an AAC codec for an improved wireless audio experience.

Other than that, this new release is all about other smaller changes and improvements, and plenty of fixes but also known issues.

For example, Microsoft says it improved the touch keyboard launch animation to make it a little bit smoother, while also introducing small adjustments to the icons in the File Explorer address bar.

Lots of fixes this time

As far as the known issues are concerned, there are two important entries for Linux users running WSL on their devices.

“We’re working on a fix resulting in WSL users finding that File Explorer launch performance regressed after upgrading to Build 21354 and higher. Some Windows Subsystem for Linux instances can fail to launch with a ‘The parameter is incorrect’ message. This known issue is being tracked here on the WSL repository,” the company explains.

You can download the new Windows 10 preview build from Windows Update right now if you are part of the Dev channel in the Windows Insider program.
