Microsoft released on August 16 another Windows 10 20H1 test build to the Fast Ring. Build 18963[1] includes a handful of minor tweaks and improvements. It also is the first Windows 10 feature release build which makes Notepad a Store-updatable, separate application.
Windows 10 test build 18963 adds GPU temperature monitoring support to Task Manager (but for now, only for this with a dedicated GPU card and up-to-date graphics drivers). The temperature value is only in Celsius right now.

It includes some tweaks to the Optional Featuers page in Settings, such as the ability to multi-select, more easily navigate pages and better manage lists. In addition, mouse cursor speed can be set from within Settings. Micrososft also is improving the synchonization of account pictures in Windows as of this build.
Microsoft is adding some minor improvements to Windows Search, including improved spell correction for App and Settings searches and hints to improve best match results. It also is rolling out the new Search Home look and feel -- which provides quick access to top apps and recent activities -- to more Windows 10 users. Now, Windows 10 1903 and 1809 users, both, will be seeing the new Search Home.
