The company also revealed that it’s now in the process to update devices running Windows 10 version 1903 to version 1909 automatically. Although the automatic update was expected since version 1903 is nearing the end of service, it’s uncommon to see Microsoft updating to a follow up version instead of the most recent version, which in this case is version 20H2. As part of the November Patch Tuesday update, Windows 10 version 20H2 received its first official quality update. Also, the company pushed updates for older versions, including version 2004, 1909, 1903, 1809, and even older releases. Furthermore, Surface Duo received a firmware update to improve camera, interaction with apps, and to patch Android security vulnerabilities. Windows 10 build 20257 became available for testers with devices enrolled in the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program as a minor update with a bunch of fixes, but no new features. The Windows Terminal version 1.5 released as preview with new features, such as the ability to change the tab order, use the desktop background as the console background, change the launch mode, open links with your web browser, and a lot more.
