[KB5020539] A NEW Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Build 25227.1010!

Microsoft has released an update for Windows 11 Build 25227, which was out to Windows Insiders a few days ago. It comes in the form of Cumulative Update Build 25227.1010 (KB5020539) and contains nothing new, as it is designed to test the servicing pipeline.

Hence, all the bug fixes and improvements that were announced with the earlier released build 25227 to the Dev Channel are carried over into this.

What’s new
Update Management Improvements
Ensuring consistent and predictable timing of restarts for Windows updates is a key part of a successful update strategy. To improve the predictability of restarts, we have made the following changes for the Update Stack Orchestrator:

The Deadline calculation for both quality and feature updates is now based off the time the client’s update scan initially discovered the update. Previously, the Deadline was based off the release date of the update for quality updates and the reboot pending date for feature updates.
The Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts Group Policy setting was split into two separate settings to align with the existing configuration service provider (CSP) policies. The options in the Group Policy settings are the same for both feature and quality updates. Each of the new settings also has a Don’t auto-restart until end of grace period option. The new Group Policy settings are:
Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts for quality updates
Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts for feature updates

To reduce the impact of the Deadline calculation change, the defaults values for feature updates were changed to the following:
Update/ConfigureDeadlineForFeatureUpdates = 2 (previously 7)
Update/ConfigureDeadlineGracePeriodForFeatureUpdate = 7 (previously 2)

Changes and Improvements
[Start menu]
We are trying out a small change to the Start menu where some Insiders will see badging on their user profile notifying them that certain actions need to be taken.
[Widgets]
We’re trying out some different positions of the header with new icons for the Widgets board to learn how to best optimize the Widgets board for our users. By using monoline icons, our goal is to bring consistent, clean, and accessible icons to communicate action and features with simple visuals for users.

[Input]
The change to support the use of clipboard history (WIN + V) on password fields that began rolling out with Build 25206 is now available to all Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.
We made a change to allow you to contribute your voice clips to Microsoft again even if on-device speech recognition is used.
[Voice typing]
We are rolling out a change to sync voice typing settings, Automatic punctuation and Voice typing launcher, across all devices signed in using the same Microsoft account. You can toggle this feature via Settings / Accounts / Windows backup / Remember my preferences / Accessibility. This currently only works with Microsoft accounts today with AAD support coming later.
[Settings]
A new dialog will warn users of potential data loss if they elect to change the partition style of their storage drive under System / Storage / Disks & Volumes / Disk Properties.
We’ve updated the ethernet and Wi-Fi property pages in Settings to now show gateway information in the network details summary.
