How to get the Windows 10 October 2020 Update version 20H2 Win Update

Most obvious is the Start menu tiles are all same color as personalization

Probably being a little dense but how do you get a diff colour? Mine is either light or dark. So only switches between light or dark grey. I couldn’t figure out how to get a different colour. Also the translucency on mine is negligible

It's a mystery why these two members, with Local Accounts ARE seeing account pictures, one on 1903 who's attachment shows a picture.

New options listed when opening Windows 10 settings??


And another on 1909:

Redesigned Settings Page?

The first person is signed into OneDrive. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Yes good question. I have so far installed on two machines and both (very different PCs) have changed the start menu tiles to grey where they were blue. Any ideas anyone?

If the update is not offered on WU, is there a trick to force the update without using MCT or iso?

For example, how to share downloaded files by WU (80 MB) and launch them manually ?

Or doesn't it work like that? xD

Have you tried using the accent colour?

Thanks for the suggestion but changing colours in the settings app has no effect on the start menu tiles.

EDIT: I should have explained this in more detail. Selecting show the accent colour on the following surfaces - Start, taskbar and action center DOES change tile colour but also changes the taskbar and menu background colour. It would seem that we can no longer have different colour tiles and menu background.
