Windows 11 is getting a new news widget, but you’re probably not going to like it

Microsoft is enhancing the user experience of Windows 11 widgets with a new Copilot-powered news feed that replaces the traditional MSN News feed. The redesigned widget system curates content based on user interests, providing concise summaries of relevant news topics and operating significantly faster than the previous version. Users can upvote or downvote articles and exclude specific sources from their feed. Articles will now open directly within the widgets panel instead of redirecting to a separate browser window.

Hands-on with Phone Link Start Menu Companion: Why Does It Even Exist?

Microsoft’s Phone Link app has introduced a companion feature for the Windows 11 Start menu, currently available to Windows Insider Program users with Phone Link version 1.24061.93.0 or higher. To enable or disable this feature, users can access Windows Settings, navigate to Personalization, select Start, and toggle "Show mobile device in Start." The Phone Link companion displays a preview of the mobile device's wallpaper, connection status, Bluetooth icon, and battery percentage, along with shortcuts for Messages, Calls, and Photos. It also features a "Recents" section for recent photos, calls, and messages. However, it lacks interactive capabilities within the Start menu, requiring users to open the Phone Link app for detailed interactions. The app also requires permissions for mirroring applications and allows file transfers and displays active Edge pages from Android.
