Microsoft has released KB4580364 (Builds 19041.610 and 19042.610) for Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004) and the October 2020 Update (20H2). Both these feature updates share a common core operating system and an identical set of system files, which means they will receive the same set of monthly updates.
Some of the highlights of Windows 10 KB4580364 (19041.610 and 19042.610) Preview:
- Introducing Meet Now in the Windows 10 Taskbar
Earlier this year we introduced Meet Now in Skype. Meet Now makes it easy to connect with anyone in as little as two clicks for free and each call can last up to 24 hours. Today, we’re excited to share that we will be extending this capability in Windows 10 by bringing Meet Now right to the taskbar. In the coming weeks, you will be able to easily set up a video call and reach friends and family in an instant by clicking the Meet Now icon in the taskbar notification area. No sign ups or downloads needed.- Updates an issue that causes a device to stop responding after you have been using a pen for several hours.
