You can now download and try the Windows 10 Fall Update: Branch 20H2 is now the October 2020 Update

Autumn is approaching, a period of the year in which Microsoft usually offers news in the form of hardware and software. Regarding the first point, to the rumors about new devices we add the extra bonus of the new consoles in the form of Xbox Series X and Series S. If we talk about software, there is no other option than to refer to the Windows 10 Fall Update

The second major update that the company launches each year and which was already quite minor the previous year, aims to be very close to arriving.In fact, users of Release Preview can now start testing Windows 10 October 2020 Update, a build that arrives with patch KB4571756.

Windows 10 October 2020 Update

"

From the Windows blog they warn that the October 2020 update will be offered to those initiated in the version preview channel through Windows Update. Insiders interested in trying it out should go to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update and choose to download and install 20H2. Once installed, the user will continue to automatically receive new service updates through Windows Update."

They also announce that they are starting to roll out the October 2020 update automatically for Insiders who are part of the Beta Channel For Insiders who had not previously chosen to install the October 2020 Update will be automatically offered to them through Windows Update.

In Windows 10 October 2020 Update Microsoft is only talking about a known bug, a bug related to the Windows Subsystem for Linux and In fact, they warn that if we use the Windows subsystem for Linux, it is possible that we are not interested in updating to this version.

The problem is that when we try to start WSL, the error "Element not found" will appear From Redmond they have already located the error and They have fixed it, but until the next version it will not be available. They already know the root of the problem and all the details can be seen at this GitHub link. The fix for this bug should be included in the next service release 20H2 and in the meantime, those affected who do not want to experience this issue can uninstall this build.

The RTM is closer and it is presumable that it will arrive at the end of October in the form of ISONow we just have to wait to find out when this new update will reach all users within the stable branch and although there are no dates, logic leads us to think that we will have to wait for the first or second week of November.
