Windows 10 build 18836

Windows 10 build 18836 is the first Insider Preview build of Windows 10 May 2020 Update. This build was released to Windows Insiders that were opted into Skip Ahead on 14 February 2019.
== New features ==
=== General ===
* Renamed the "Windows Light" theme to "Windows (light)".
* Added the ability to access Linux files in a WSL distro from Windows. They can be accessed through the command line and other Windows apps such as File Explorer. Navigate to \\wsl$\<distro_name> to access them. You can also see a list of running distributions by navigating to \\wsl$.
* Added some new features to the wsl.exe command line interface, such as the ability to import and export distros and consolidating the existing features from wslconfig.exe, such as listing installed distros and setting defaults.
* The new tamper protection setting in the Windows Security app protects user's device by helping to prevent bad actors from tampering with the most important security settings. The setting is designed to be on by default, however the default state is not currently in effect for current Insider Preview builds. User may see a new recommendation in the Windows Security app suggesting them turn this setting on.
