The KB4562830 Enablement Package allows you to go from build 19041 (v2004) to 19042 (v20H2).
Feature Update through Windows 10, version 20H2 Enablement Package
Applies to: Windows 10 version 2004 all editions, Windows Server version 2004 all editions
Summary
Windows 10, versions 2004 and 20H2 share a common core operating system with an identical set of system files. Therefore, the new features in Windows 10, version 20H2 are included in the latest monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 2004 (released October 13, 2020), but are in an inactive and dormant state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on through the “enablement package,” a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that activates the Windows 10, version 20H2 features.
The enablement package is a great option for installing a scoped feature update like Windows 10, version 20H2 as it enables an update from version 2004 to version 20H2 with a single restart, reducing update downtime. This enables devices to take advantage of new features now. For version 2004 devices that receive updates directly from Windows Update, devices automatically get the enablement package by installing the feature update to Windows 10, version 20H2.
If a device is updating from Windows 10, version 1909 or an earlier version, this feature update enablement package cannot be manually installed. Instead, it is bundled and automatically included with the feature update to Windows 10, version 20H2. Note the installation time is not reduced in this scenario.

I installed the 20H2 enablement KB and it breaks Task Manager - Startup (data remains stale after a power up) just like happened a few weeks ago.
Known and Resolved issues for Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004
If anyone else can confirm seeing the same problem or not with 20H2, that would be great. Thanks
@f14tomcat, I know you're interested in the issue.
Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0
Is the above the correct Windows Exp. Pack version in system/about?
well I suppose it is.
Today and through the summer of 2020 we know that the Feature Experience Pack contains… well… very little. It started as an empty ‘dummy’ app but as the build numbers have changed (first spotted as 120.10601.30.0 but now at 120.2212.31.0 as shown I the screen shot of our Beta of Windows 10 20H2 above) apps have apparently been added. Mary Joe Foley, one of the tech industries most respected Microsoft insiders, says that it now contains:
Thanks for the screenshot. Please enable the "Running now" column and see if any rows are non-blank as blank rows indicate it's not updating data after a power up.
- - - Updated - - -
Additional information to conclude it's not working:
In the "Running now" column (which is not enabled by default)- it's all blank now where usually when working several items show running.
Also in C:\Windows\System32\WDI\LogFiles\StartupInfo folder the newest file's "Date modified" is 10/18 even though I shutdown/powered up twice to confirm this issue. Same symptoms as before when it was broken after I installed 20H2 enablement a few weeks ago.
