Windows 10 21h1 features

Windows Update

Starting with Windows 10, version 20H2 and including this release, Latest Cumulative Updates (LCUs) and Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) have been combined into a single cumulative monthly update, available via Microsoft Catalog or Windows Server Update Services.

Windows Autopilot

A new resolved issues article is available that includes several new fixes for Windows Autopilot deployment scenarios.

WDAG performance is improved with optimized document opening times:

A memory issue is fixed that could cause a WDAG container to use almost 1 GB of working set memory when the container is idle.
