Just 2 weeks ago Microsoft released an update build 19042.782 for the Beta and Release Preview channels for Windows 10 v20H2, which went through the same update name KB4598291. They have released yet another build to the same 2 insider channels with the same name, build 19042.789. However, this new release does not bring any new features to the table, but rather just a few fixes.
We predict that since Microsoft has been testing their channels with follow-up updates, this is another one of those releases. Installing the update KB4598291 would now change your OS build to 19042.789.
