Out of the regular schedule, Microsoft released an optional update for Windows 10 v1909 users.

However, just like the regular cumulative updates, the optional updates contain several fixes and improvements. The KB5001396 update, in particular, comes with a new feature called “New & Interests.” After installing KB5001396, you will see a new widget on the taskbar that gives you a quick weather overview and news headlines according to your interests. If you don’t want this new feature, you can skip the update.
In addition to the feature update, this update also contains several other improvements and fixes. These include but are not limited to occasional blank tiles in the Start menu, OneDrive stop errors, issues with Edge IE mode, task scheduler improves, active directory improvements, Docker stop errors, issues with NTFS, etc.
