Microsoft have released a new build of Windows 10 for Windows Insiders on the dev channel. Build 21364 adds GUI app support on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) so you can run Linux GUI apps directly from your Windows desktop. More details on Microsoft’s blog post.
UPDATE: Here is my hands on video:
In this build Microsoft have added extra information to Task Manager showing Edge resource types e.g. Tabs, Browser processes (Browser, GPU Process, Crashpad), Utility plugins (Utility: Audio Service Extensions), Dedicated & Service workers etc.
Also in Task Manager is the option to throttle applications and put them in eco mode reducing the CPU consumption of the task. Task Manager also indicates tasks that are running in eco mode.
Here are the know issues and fixes with build 21364:
Changes and Improvements
Based on feedback, we’re updating the notification that used to say “We need to fix your account (most likely your password changed)”, to be more representative of what it’s for, and now say “Select here to sign in to your account to continue using apps between this device and your other devices.”
When you turn on or off night light manually, for example via the Action Center, night light will now turn on immediately rather than slowly transition.
