Features will include weather, stock, and newsfeed<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Windows Insiders are testing out the new widgets that will be added to the Windows 10 taskbar<\/a> in a future update. It’s been a while since any new features had been added to the taskbar, so it will be interesting to see how users respond to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Warren from The Verge<\/a> writes on their blog, “The taskbar feature will pop out into a mini feed of content that can be personalized with the latest sports news, headlines, and weather information. Microsoft is using its Microsoft News network to surface news and content from more than 4,500 sources. The company has been curating this through artificial intelligence in recent months, and this particular feature will also learn what news is relevant to you when you dismiss or like stories in the feed.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also shared that Microsoft Edge browser would be installed. So, if you click on a link on the newsfeed, it will open up the Edge browser for you to read it. You will have the ability to disable the feature, if you would rather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
