Dev channel of Windows insider has received a new build with a good number of bug fixes and changes.

Also. it is important to know that development in this branch is at a very early stage, so the release may be unstable sometimes.
Full number of this release is 10.0.22458.1000.rs_prerelease.210910-1430. Once more remember that all the changes and improvements in this build will not be included in the original release. Builds are rolled out on the Dev channel that can contain some pretty nasty bugs. If you are looking for more stability, you can switch to the Beta or Release Preview channels.
