Note:

Starting today, Windows Insiders who have opted into Skip Ahead are being migrated back into the Fast ring. This means that Skip Ahead will no longer be reflected under Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program. Going forward, we will not be offering Skip Ahead as an option for Insiders to sign-up for. Our goal is to provide everyone in the Fast ring the freshest builds at the same time.

In addition to changes, improvements, and fixes, see the blog post for the additions to quick web searches to your Search Home and changes in the design for web preview in search results.

In addition to issues resolved, fixes, etc. note:

We're continuing to look at ways we can improve the update experience on Windows 10 PCs for our customers. As part of this effort, we are conducting an experiment related to how we deliver driver updates through Windows Update. During this experiment, drivers categorized as "optional" will not be automatically downloaded and installed on Windows Insider's PCs running 20H1 Build 18980 and newer. To install any new optional drivers available for a PC that's involved in this experiment (including drivers for new devices that might get plugged in to a PC), Insiders can go to Settings > Windows Update > Optional Updates and manually download these drivers. This experiment will be running now through November 25th, 2019.
