(Video) Windows 10 Build 21332 - New GPO Policies, No More 3D Apps on Clean Installs + MORE

This Wednesday, Microsoft released another new build for Windows Insiders in the Dev channel, and it brings the build number to 21332. As for new features, there's not much to show, but there are a few that are going away.

The news and interests rollout is being reset, so if you had it in a previous build, you might just not have it anymore. That's because Microsoft wants to add an option where it will only open if you click on it, rather than when you hover as well.

Next up are 3D Viewer and Paint 3D, which are finally going away. If you clean install the OS, you're not going to get these apps anymore, although you can still get them from the Microsoft Store. The news comes on the heels of another change that was made a couple of weeks ago, where the company removed the 3D Objects folder.

There are a few other minor changes in this build too. The new option to paste as plain text is now available to everyone in the Dev channel, as that was yet another feature that was being A/B tested. Theme-aware splash screens are re-enabled, and Math Input Panel is being removed "due to increasingly low usage".

Also, as spotted by Tero Alhonen @teroalhonen, Microsoft is preparing to roll out new group policies for Human Presence on Windows 10, allowing administrators to force users to lock their PCs automatically when they leave them unattended.

Human Presence
• Force Instant Lock
• Force Instant Wake
• Lock Timeout

Aside from that, as these builds are part of an active development branch, you're more likely to find problems, but there are also some fixes for bugs from previous builds. Learn more by reading the official blog post from Microsoft (link below)!

And that's about it. You can install the build via Windows Update, and if you're not on the Dev channel yet, you can go to the Windows Insider Program tab in Settings to get started.
