IT Home reported on August 27 that technology media pureinfotech published a blog post yesterday (August 26), reporting that Microsoft's Windows 10 Build 19045.4842 (KB5041582) update this year not only fixed functions such as the input method editor, but also brought some hidden functions/features.

New Start Menu Account Manager

After Windows 10 users install the KB5041582 update, a new account manager appears on the Start menu, and the experience is close to that of the Windows 11 system.

The new Account Manager provides a quick overview of your account benefits and alerts you to any missing information and additional actions you must take to maintain the security of your account.

The manager gives users an overview of cloud storage usage, as well as which services are active and which are about to expire.

Set a new header for the application and introduce a new icon

IT Home quoted the media as reporting that Microsoft is testing a new header for the Home page and enabling new icons.
