It is worth noting that Microsoft is focused on Windows 11’s development, so the company is not investing in Windows 10. As per the release notes, Microsoft has added an option to receive important alerts when a feature called “Focus Assist” is turned on. For those unversed, Focus Assist is similar to do not disturb found on Android or iOS.

Microsoft is also bringing back support for Windows Autopilot deployment scenarios which were disabled by the security mitigation for hardware reuse. Microsoft has also addressed an issue that leads to internet connectivity issues with certain docking stations, especially when waking from Sleep mode.
