Hi,

Included in this update is .NET 5, and Python 3.9

Our Windows stable releases can be used in jobs via the `executor` s in the `circleci/windows` [orb](https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/circleci/windows), by configuring `stable` as the value of the `version` parameter.

Example of how to use the edge release of the default Windows image:

```auto
orbs:
  windows: circleci/windows@2.4.0
...
executor:
  name: windows/default
  version: stable

```

Example of how to use the edge release of the Windows Nvidia GPU image:

```auto
orbs:
  windows: circleci/windows@2.4.0
...
executor:
  name: windows/gpu-nvidia
  version: stable

```
