The new feature of Microsoft is designed to feed the user with the information they want. The News and Interest feed shows the latest headlines from more than 4500 news sources. The user will never miss any updates as the widget will cover a wide range of topics. This is probably the best change to the taskbar since the Cortana update. The users can even customize the widget according to their needs and preferences. According to reports, Microsoft will offer freedom to choose the news topic which they wish to see in the widget. By clicking on Manage Interests, the user can easily select topics and sources that should appear. Other than just reading the news user can also share and save news with friends and other known people. The user can even add public ‘Likes’ and reactions to stories, similar to Facebook. The user can even turn this feature off by just right-clicking on the News and Interest icon and then select the turn-off option. Also Read: How to Fix Windows 10 Taskbar Not Working
