You can find the full list of new features, bug fixes, and known issues below:
What’s new in Build 20150
Three new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) features: GPU compute, WSL install, and WSL update
This build contains three new exciting WSL features. The first is GPU compute: a feature that allows your Linux binaries to leverage your GPU, which makes it possible to do more machine learning development and data science workflows directly in WSL. Secondly, we’ve added a new command: wsl –install which allows you to install WSL with just one command. Lastly, we’ve added wsl –update which gives you the ability to easily manage the Linux kernel version used by WSL 2 distros. To view a summary of these announcements pleaseread this post on the Windows Command line blog, and for in-depth details on GPU compute in WSL pleaseread this poston the Windows Developer blog.
Other updates for Insiders
Updating the map data in the Maps app
Earlier this month,the Bing Maps Team announcedthey’ve started gradually rolling out the new TomTom base map data to Bing Maps and Microsoft first party products. As part of this process, we’re slowly updating the Maps app for Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel (Fast ring) to use the new map data from TomTom. We’re asking Insiders to submit feedback on any issues they see as a result of this change directly from the Maps app by selectingSuggest a changeat the lower right corner of the app.

In case you missed it, Microsoft announced somebig changes for the Windows Insider programearlier this week. The Fast Ring will become the new Dev channel later this month, but it will keep receiving builds with experimental features that are not tied to a specific Windows release. The Slow ring is also becoming the Beta channel and should receive new builds more frequently, and Microsoft actually released thefirst 20H2 build for those Insiders yesterday.
Update 1PM PT: ISOs for the build 20150 are also available to download from theWindows Insider Preview Downloads page.
