The Windows 10 October 2020 Update doesn't include a ton of massive changes
from the May update, but there are a lot of smaller refinements that should make your computing experience better. According to Microsoft, these include:
Microsoft Edge: The update will include the new Chromium-based
Microsoft Edge browser instead of the legacy version for the first time. The new Edge browser includes a privacy feature that tries to block sites that track you online, and a feature called Collections that lets you gather information from different websites as you're doing research. Start menu: A new Start menu will feature a more streamlined design, replacing the solid color backplates behind the logos in your apps list with partially transparent backgrounds, helping the icons stand out more. You can also set an accent color if you like. Tabs: Open all tabs in Edge in Alt + Tab, instead of just the active one in each browser window. You can also configure it to show only your last three or five tabs, or turn it off completely under Settings > System > Multitasking. Taskbar: Personalize your Taskbar so you can find what you're looking for faster. Notifications: See where your notification is coming from by checking the app logo at the top, and dismiss it by clicking the X in the top right corner. Focus Assist notification and summary will be turned off by default. Settings: Find more Control Panel features in the Settings About page under Settings > System > About. 2-in-1 devices: For these device users, instead of getting a notification asking if you want to switch to tablet mode every time you detach your keyboard, it will happen by default.
