14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has released a new Windows 10 cumulative update for Windows insiders, and this time, it is aimed at users enrolled in the Dev channel.
Worth knowing from the very beginning, however, is that cumulative update KB5001618 doesn’t include any new feature, and while it includes the OS build number to 21337.1010, it’s only supposed to help Microsoft “test our servicing pipeline.”
So in other words, Microsoft just wants to make sure servicing Windows via Windows Update is working as planned, so while you’re still recommended to get this update, don’t expect any change after the installation.

On the other hand, Windows 10 build 21337 comes with several important improvements, including support for changing the wallpaper of each virtual desktop.
“Virtual Desktops help you cognitively separate different tasks on your PC, including helping to create work-life separation. They can be swapped into view, letting you shift your work from one desktop to another. Instead of juggling multiple windows, you can switch between Virtual Desktops to multitask,” Microsoft explained a few days ago when it released this new build.
Another important change concerns gaming, as Microsoft has finally brought Auto HDR to PCs with this new build. On the other hand, it’s important to keep in mind this is just a preview for now, with Microsoft promising further refinements in the coming builds.
“Today we’re excited to bring you a preview of Auto HDR for your PC gaming experience and we’re looking for your help to test it out. When enabled on your HDR capable gaming PC, you will automatically get awesome HDR visuals on an additional 1000+ DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games!” the company said when the full build went live.
You can download the new cumulative update if you’re part of the Insider program from Windows Update.
