The Windows 10 Sun Valley update has been in the works for several months, and it looks like we'll have a lot of small improvements to try out in the coming months.
The next feature update will be Windows 10 version 21H1 and is supposed to be a minor release with improvements for enterprise customers.
In preview versions of Sun Valley, Microsoft has begun testing a taskbar feature that integrates the weather widget and newsfeed feature directly into Windows 10. The new feature adds an icon to the taskbar from which users can either view the newsfeed via MSN or receive weather and traffic information.
Microsoft will add this taskbar feature to earlier versions of the operating system. With Build 19043.962 or Build 19042.962, Microsoft adds the news and weather widget to Windows 10 version 21H1 and version 20H2 respectively.
By default, the Windows 10 taskbar widget newsfeed will show you the latest titles and stories, but you will be able to customize the feed by adding your interests to the MSN page. Of course, you will need to run Microsoft Edge Browser to customize the feed, as no other browsers are supported at this time.
Microsoft seems to be bringing the new feature to Insiders watching the Release Preview Ring for Windows 10 version 21H1 / 20H2.
But this feature is only being tested in the US, UK, Australia and India.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
