  • Starting on November 1, 2020, Yukon will continue to remain on local time and will not adjust its clock to move back by an hour.
  • This change is for customers running the following Windows 10 versions:
    • Windows 10, version 1809
    • Windows 10, version 1903
    • Windows 10, version 1909
    • Windows 10, version 2004
  • Yukon customers running other, supported versions of Windows will see the relevant changes in the September monthly quality update.
