This month has been full of updates for Windows 10, and Microsoft still has a few more to ship. The company released optional C patches, which are a preview of what is to come in April 2021. If your PC runs Windows 10 2004 or 20H2, you can install the April Preview updates 19041.906 or 19042.906 (KB5000842). 

On March 25, 2021, Microsoft released a new Windows 10 21H1 build in the Beta Channel with a single fix related to printing graphical content in documents. Shortly after the update went out, insiders started reporting troubles with the installation. When attempting to install Windows 10 build 19043.906 (KB5000842), Windows Update shows 0x800f091f error.

According to the latest data from Adduplex, in March 2021, Windows 10 20H2 reached almost 30% market share. The latest Windows 10 version gained 9.9 points in a single month, which is quite impressive, considering Microsoft no longer forces fresh updates unless your PC runs an outdated release. Windows 10 20H2 has no significant new features and overall feels like a regular monthly patch, so there are even fewer reasons to rush the update.

In the near future, Microsoft will remove the Math Input Panel, Paint 3D and 3D Viewer apps from the default app set when you perform a clean install of the OS. This will probably happen in Windows 10 version 21H2. The change is already active in Build 21332, that was recently released to Insiders in the Dev channel. However, despite having no Paint 3D installed, Windows 10 continues to include the 'Edit with Paint 3D' entry for images.

Here's an easy way to find the Windows Feature Experience Pack version number on Windows 10. Windows 10 2004 was not the largest update Windows have ever received. Still, this update contains one significant change that defines how the operating system receives new features down the road. It introduced a feature called Windows Feature Experience Pack (WFEP).

Here's how to download new icons from Windows 10 build 21343.

Microsoft is actively working on refining Windows 10 UI by bringing more Fluent Design elements. In build 21343, the company has added many fresh icons to File Explorer. Now, instead of simple yellow folders, we have plenty of rich, colorful variants, a brand-new Recycle Bin icon, and many more.

Microsoft today released a new Preview patch for Windows 10 version 1909. The update KB5000850 is available as an optional update, and can be installed from Settings manually. Before installing, keep in mind that this patch will remove the Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application.

Microsoft has released a new version of the Windows Feature Experience Pack to Insiders running Windows 10 in the Beta and Release Preview channels. This update only applies to Windows Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview Channels who are on the latest 21H1 release in the Beta Channel or the latest 20H2 release in the Release Preview Channel currently.
