Windows 10 Insiders in the Dev channel have a new build to grab today. The latest update brings PCs to build 21359 and includes several changes and improvements. The build doesn't include any new features but has a lengthy list of changes, improvements, and fixes.

Here's everything that's new, as found on its changelog:

Changes and Improvements

  • We have added an option under the Power menu on the Start menu to restart apps after signing in when you reboot your device. When this setting is checked, it toggles the option under Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Restart apps we introduced in 20H1.
  • • We have added an option under the Power menu on the Start menu to restart apps after signing in when you reboot your device.
  • If you have your activity history synced across your devices through your Microsoft account (MSA), you'll no longer have the option to upload new activity in Timeline. AAD-connected accounts won't be impacted. To view web history, Edge and other browsers have the option to look back at recent web activities. You can also view recently used files using OneDrive and Office.
  • We're updating the Ease of Access category in Settings to now be called Accessibility.
  • We're updating the Ebrima font to now support characters from Bamum (Unicode block U+A6A0 to U+A6FF).
  • We're updating the Nirmala UI font family to improve how the Chakma characters are displayed when combined based on feedback.
  • Thank you to the Insiders who have taken the time to share feedback about the new version of our Korean IME. For the time being we will be reverting to the version included in previous releases.

You can grab the latest build now if you're a Windows Insider in the Dev channel. We have a guide on how to join the Windows Insider Program if you want to get started.
