Microsoft launches KB4580364 update to fix various known bugs
Although Microsoft only launched the Windows 10 20H2 RTM version this week, this does not prevent Microsoft from continuing to release new beta versions to fix various known issues. The number version is 20H2 Build 19042.608 (KB4580364).
This new beta version is actually provided as an optional update, but it is currently only available for users of the Beta test channel and has not yet reached the stable version channel.
The issues fixed in this optional update will be released to the stable version on November 10th, so users who have not yet upgraded to 20H2 can also wait for the next update to upgrade.
Changelog
This update includes the following fixes and improvements:
- 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.
