Support for Windows 10 20H2 has been discontinued. If you still use this version of Windows 10, you should probably update to the latest version at your earliest.

Microsoft will only release updates for Windows 10 20H2 Enterprise users .

Fixes and improvements in KB5017308

Since Microsoft has already announced Windows 10 will be discontinued by 2025, we don’t expect new features to be launched for Windows 10. In line with this philosophy, only security issues have been addressed for the Operating System.

If you want to enjoy new feature releases, you should probably get Windows 11 for yourself.
