Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21390 Releases: bringing new icons to task manager and program installer

Microsoft recently launched the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21390 version to users participating in the Dev channel. In this version, Microsoft introduces some new icons for some software.

In terms of icons, Microsoft has previously released new Microsoft Fluent Design System icons for some built-in applications, but there are still many icons that have not been upgraded.

Microsoft has designed new icons for the task manager and MSI program installer in this version, but Microsoft has not released a preview image that we need to upgrade to see.

In addition, starting from this version, the terminal management software Windows Terminal can be set as the system default terminal manager, which is convenient for developers to use.

Changelog
