Microsoft has just released a new cumulative update with no changes for the Windows 10 Insider build 21364 that was released for Dev Channel Insiders two days ago. There are no bug fixes or new features in today’s cumulative build 21364.1000 (KB5003397), and its only purpose is to help the Windows Insider team test its servicing pipeline.

If you didn’t install it yet, the build 21364 introduced several new features including support for Linux GUI applications on the Windows Subsystem for Linux. The Windows 10 Task Manager has also received some love with a new Eco mode that can throttle process resources for apps that are misbehaving. Task Manager has also been updated to display different Edge components such as tabs, browser processes, utility plugins, and more.

If Linux GUI apps are available for all Dev Channel Insiders who install the build 21364, the Task Manager changes will only roll out to a subset of testers for now. You can check out the full list of new features, bug fixes, and known issues for the build 21364 on this page.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
