blog post.
Top apps added to SearchThis new build provided quick access the most used apps right from the Search Home, under Top apps. There is no need to search for them from now on.
This new feature is going to roll out server-side, therefore some users might also see it the bounds of this flight.
Top apps in SearchWin32 desktop apps can now be used in Windows Mixed Reality
Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18329 also provides insiders with the ability to use desktop Win32 applications (such as Spotify, Pant.NET, and Visual Studio Code) in Windows Mixed Reality.
The apps can be launched by bringing up the Pins Panel, then going to all apps, where a “Classic Apps (Beta)” can be found. From there users can choose what Win32 apps they want to open.
It's also important to note that this new feature is still in development and bugs are still being addressed.
Win32 apps in Windows Mixed RealitySupport for ADLaM and Osage keyboardsADLaM and Osage keyboard support is now available in Build 18329. According to Microsoft, "ADLaM script is used to write Pular/Fulfulde, the language of the Fulani people of West Africa. Osage script is used to write the Osage language spoken by the Osage Nation in Oklahoma."
To enable the ADLaM or Osage scripts, go to Language Settings, and click "Add a preferred language".
ADLaM keyboardMail & Calendar version 16.0.11231.20082In this update to the Mail and Calendar apps, Microsoft added dark mode Mail and Calendar items. The dark user interface is now enabled when reading or composing emails and managing calendar events.

REMINDER: The new tamper protection setting in the Windows Security app protects your device by helping to prevent bad actors from tampering with the most important security settings. The setting is designed to be on by default, however the default state is not currently in effect for current Insider Preview builds. You may see a new recommendation in the Windows Security app suggesting you turn this setting on.

Known issues:
• The Windows Security app may show an unknown status for the Virus & threat protection area, or not refresh properly. This may occur after an upgrade, restart, or settings changes.
• Launching games that use anti-cheat software may trigger a bugcheck (GSOD).

• While night light functionality is back up and running, you may still find issues with other blue light reduction software not working.
• When performing Reset this PC and selecting Keep my files on a device that has Reserved Storage enabled the user will need to initiate an extra reboot to ensure Reserved Storage is working again properly.
• Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
• The value in Narrator Settings “Change the level of detail Narrator provides about text and control” might be empty. To work around this issue, use the Narrator command Narrator key + v to change the verbosity level, then close and reopen Settings app again.
• After an upgrade, there might be two Narrator voices talking at the same time. Reboot the machine once, this issue will go away.

Known issues for Developers:
• If you install any of the recent builds from the Fast ring and switch to the Slow ring – optional content such as enabling developer mode will fail. You will have to remain in the Fast ring to add/install/enable optional content. This is because optional content will only install on builds approved for specific rings.
