Windows 10: Things I Like About the Windows 10 October 2020 Update!

My List:



1. Shutdown without updating has been restored to the Power Button Menu! Thank You!

2. Action Center now tells you not only if a restart is needed, BUT why it is needed.

3. File Explorer and One Drive searching are now faster.

Hi Clayton,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

October 2020 update is in the last phase of testing as it was released last month to the Release preview channel. As far as the name goes, it should release this month.

I agree totally, I personally don't like running unknown exe or scripts as it is not always known what it is doing in background to undo if things go bad.
At least with registry edits you can undo it pretty easy unless it bricks system after the edit but that's not normal thing (I have not run into that).
