Is there something that’s supposed to be broken by using the latest public KIS release with Windows 2004 and newer? I’ve been on Insider Preview builds this whole time and it seems to be working.

Great news.
I never will touch in that, only if they make one better.
Restarting my computer because the reason is a Logo..

Now, with Windows 10 version 2004 released today, let's count down for the release of KIS 2021 Technical Release.

Calm down. I think Kaspersky usually release their new yearly version around July/August. So, it could still be a while. But it's possible they'll release a bit early this time. Anyway, I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

I know, but since I have only several days remaining of my key for 2020 to get expire, I was thinking to get a fresh start with KIS 2021 with a new key.

AS much as I liked the "K" I got used to the green shield. Now i just wish the interface had a dark theme.
True, the "K" is very nostalgic but the green shield fits very well with the rest of the elegantly modern UI language. Kaspersky and Norton I think are the two most visually appealing AV suites out there. F-Secure is in the process of reinventing their UI but it doesn't take many clicks to find one of the previous ugly multi-paneled settings dialogs like it's Windows 2000 all over again.

As already said before, to recover the old K -> enter the IDDQD combination when the antivirus "About" window is open and in focus...

@harlan4096 Sorry to bother you, but I hate that for the very reputable vendor like Kaspersky, beta testers aren't given tiny little information such as ETA for the final build. Do you have any news from the progress of the beta or the TR version that will come out soon?
I have a friend he told me this:
After 25 years in professional therapeutic activity, I can say that anticipation is ok, but sometimes the expectation is not ok. If we want something, or if we ask for something, but we expect it, then are we being manipulative?
Beta, when? Answer: WIIR.
New software, When? Answer: WIIR.
Asking, and acceptance of "No" is ok.
If the answer of "No" is not acceptable, then it is manipulation.
*WIIR: When it is ready.

Most software companies don't give firm dates for when next releases are going to announce. These are betas for their invited testers anyway.
FWIW I've been running Windows build 2004 previews for months now with no noticeable compatibility issues with any AV, so I'm not sure it's really required to have an AV update synchronized with Windows 2004's rollout. I am really excited to see what's next in Kaspersky 2021.

Another friend of mine told me:
My policy about pre-release software (be it alpha, beta, whatever) is not to install it and wait for stable versions unless the current version has show-stopping bugs. So, I’ll wait until KIS 2021 is released either in English. There is no rush, KIS 2020 works very well already so I’m don’t need to update it.
I agree with him. But the English version, Technical Release is final build right @harlan4096 ?
I meant to ask when the official version will be out, once the TR is out.
