Windows 10 20H1 Build 18917
Download throttling. With the Delivery Optimization feature in Windows 10 you can set upload and download limits for Windows 10 updates. But Microsoft is improving the feature: “We’ve heard from our users with very low connection speeds that setting download throttling as a percentage of available bandwidth isn’t providing enough relief in reducing the impact on their network,” notes Microsoft. This version will provide more control over download throttling with absolute bandwidth values.
The first version of WSL was shipped with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The new version is a major update and includes “Windows Terminal” which was announced at Build 2019.

Note – this experience is still in the process of rolling out. Thanks everyone who’s tried it so far and shared feedback, we’ll let you know when the rollout expands.We fixed an issue where Windows Security would crash if launched from Settings when using an Arabic display language.We fixed an issue where the audio service might hang on shutdown if spatial audio was turned on.
