Windows Insider Builds for 20H1

[Corrine]

Windows 10 Insider Build 18936 Released to Fast Ring: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18936 | Windows Experience Blog.

Interesting change called "Quick Event Create from the Taskbar". Just click the calendar in the Taskbar and there is now a space to add an event or a reminder.

Among the Known Issues, note:

A limited number Insiders attempting to install Build 18936 may experience install failures with error code c1900101 due to a compatibility bug with a storage driver on their device. The device will attempt to install, fail, and successfully roll back to the currently installed build on the device. Attempted re-tries to install the build, either manual or automatic, will not bypass this issue. A fix is forthcoming, but there are no known workarounds currently. Note: By default, the update will attempt to install (3) times. Users may pause updates if they experience this issue and want to bypass the re-try attempts.
