This was quite unexpected, but Microsoft has just released anew Windows 10 preview buildfor Insiders in the Dev Channel. The main change in the build 21382 is the new HDR support for creative apps that use International Color Consortium (ICC) display color profiles.

This new build also brings some minor changes for Device Manager, the Start Menu, and File Explorer. The new Segoe UI Variable font which made its debut in thebuild 21376last week has also been applied to the Windows 10 touch keyboard in the build 21382.

You can learn more about what’s new, fixed, and still broken in the build 21282 below:

What’s new in Build 21382

Bringing HDR support to color managed apps

HDR mode changes the behavior of some creative and artistic apps that use International Color Consortium (ICC) display color profiles, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom Classic, and CorelDraw (amongst others). In the past, these apps were limited to targeting the sRGB color gamut.

We have added a new feature that lets these apps get accurate color and access the full gamut of your HDR display. To turn this feature on, close your application, right-click the app’s icon and click in Properties > Compatibility tab and then under Settings select “Use legacy display ICC color management”. This flag only has an effect in HDR mode.

As a reminder, the Windows Insider team is also running anew Bug Bash until May 17, and Insiders can now participate by checking the different Quests in the Windows 10 Feedback Hub. New Quests will be released every day through May 17, and the most active participants will be able to earn some cool badges.
