While waiting for the new build that never seems to come I installed Virtualbox and pretty quickly set up an instance of this build and got a screenshot of the screensaver. You do need a valid license key for Windows to be activated which is a must for me since I strongly favor the dark theme. I have two from the dayls when it was inexpensive and one given to me by a kind MS employee doing tech support.

however on Arch Linux vmware gets automatically updated on Kernel update :
2/2) Remove DKMS modules
==> dkms remove --no-depmod -m vmware-workstation -v 16.1.1_17801498 -k 5.12.2-arch1-1
==> depmod 5.12.2-arch1-1
.....
==> dkms install --no-depmod -m vmware-workstation -v 16.1.1_17801498 -k 5.12.3-arch1-1
==> depmod 5.12.3-arch1-1
No user action needed !!!! and always current with appropriate kernel headers.
BTW this release of Windows is working perfectly on a VM both VMWare and KVM - am working on attempting to convert the KVM version to an installable ISO so it has all my installed software - I need to inject the VIRTIO HDD drivers into the BOOT.WIM and the INSTALL.WIM so when the ISO is booted on to the VM it will recognize the HDD for me to capture the image from that Windows system to apply it to a real machine.

Yes, I haven't seen a build this bad in literally years--it's so bad it won't even install for me--while I had no problems with 21370. While I could understand this happening five years ago, which it did, often, in the beginning--there is simply no excuse for it happening today, imo. Microsoft never seems to tire of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I will likely go back to the Release Preview channel because this kind of thing is a waste of everyone's time. It's a much more sane place to be...
@jimbo45 - I emptied the Inbox for @martyfelker so we can discuss Linux specific issues without annoying these all Windows users. However, I should get back my Eluktronics notebooks with an Intel/Nvidia chipset C & G PU's - then I "might" make this machine all Linux - depends on how stable the fix is from Eluktronics. I just wish I'd waitied a few weeks for their AMD/Radeon chipset version. They won't do an exchange - pity - I can justify another 3kUSD notebook.
Waiting, waiting for the next Windows build. I hope they will tell us if they had to skip another week.
