- Added a redundant process to remove tracking finalizers from Pods that belong to Jobs. The process kicks in after the control plane marks a Job as finished. ([#119944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119944), [@Sharpz7](https://github.com/Sharpz7))

## Changelog since v1.17.15

## Changes by Kind

### Feature

- Add a new flag to set priority for the kubelet on Windows nodes so that workloads cannot overwhelm the node there by disrupting kubelet process. ([#96159](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96159), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla)) [SIG Node]
