Big news from Microsoft’s corner: Windows 10 will have an updated taskbar in 2021. The updates in the taskbar include new widgets on news and weather. This is a big change in the Windows 10 taskbar since a long time.
The additional features will be available for testers in the US, Australia, Canada, and India on January 7. It will allow users to access a range of stock, weather, news information directly from their taskbar. Windows 10 users will now be allowed to have a quick glance at any breaking news or latest updates on weather owing to the two new widgets. The days where you had to click on the Start Menu and install another app to check the weather or latest news online via a third-party is over. Microsoft has made these accessible with its latest updates.
Microsoft Is Using AI To Curate News For New Windows 10 Update
When you open Windows 10, go to the taskbar and a fresh personalized tab will pop up. This mini feed will contain all the breaking or latest information from around the globe. Now you can check out sports or major headlines without the use of third-party apps.
To make this update possible, the company is using its news network that comprises approximately 4500 news sources. Microsoft has been working on this news network for a long time now and it has used one of the latest technologies to develop this news content stream: Artificial Intelligence. So, users can also expect a smarter taskbar for their Windows 10 with distinctive or personalized feed that understands which content is relevant to you according to your clicks or likes as is also true for most social media sites.
This update is likely to be made available to the public by the end of this year. Microsoft will be running the tests with the dev channel of Windows 10 today.
