The ISO files of Windows 10 2021 Build 20150 are now available from the Windows Insider site.

Included in the Windows 10 2021 Build 20150 are more improvements to the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It features WSL install, GPU compute, and WSL update. Microsoft added a new command, which is wsl-install that enables users to install WSL using a single command.

Hey #WindowsInsiders we also released the ISO for Build 20150 today as well! https://t.co/fbbsZPkmZN ^BLB — Windows Insider (@windowsinsider) June 17, 2020
The latest build does not come with cosmetics or user-facing features, just like several Windows builds. Additionally, the Windows 10 2021 Build 20150 reflects that the company is now more focused on the enterprise, under the hood, and improvements that affect the developers. There is also the wsl-update that offers ease in managing Linux kernel version utilized by WSL 2 distros.
The last exciting WSL feature introduced in the latest Windows 10 2021 Build 20150 is the GPU compute, which enables Linux binaries to take advantage of the GPU. As a result, the device could do more machine learning development, as well as data science workflows directly in WSL. Apart from these, the latest Windows 10 2021 Build 20150 also updates the map data in the Maps app.
It can be recalled that the Bing Maps team earlier announced that they have begun rolling out the new Tomtom base map data to Microsoft first-party products as well as to Bing Maps gradually. As a part of this process, the Redmond tech titan is now slowly updating the Maps app for Windows Insiders in Fast Ring or Dev Channel. Microsoft is also testing the 20HS or Fall 2020 build through the Beta Channel, also known as the slow ring.
While it could be a minor update, it is anticipated that the Windows May 10, 2021, Update might introduce several major features.
