Microsoft is introducing a new weather interface to Windows 10, taking a page from the latest Windows 11 update. The new feature, which is part of the preview build rolling out to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel, brings a more dynamic and interactive weather experience to the lock screen.
With the new weather interface, users will be able to click on the weather display on the lock screen, which will then open Microsoft Edge and direct them to the MSN website for a more detailed breakdown of the weather conditions. This feature aims to provide users with richer and more comprehensive weather updates directly on their lock screen.
According to Microsoft, the upcoming weeks will see further enhancements to the weather experience on Windows 10, allowing users to access more information by hovering over the weather display. Tapping or clicking on the weather card will open Microsoft Edge with the full forecast available on the MSN weather page. These updates will be applicable to users who already have the Weather feature enabled in their lock screen settings.
The decision to bring the new weather interface to Windows 10 is part of Microsoft's strategy to deliver new features and experiences to the older Windows release. As Windows 10 still boasts an impressive 1 billion active devices, compared to the 400 million devices on Windows 11, it makes sense for Microsoft to ensure that as many users as possible can benefit from the latest offerings.
Additionally, Microsoft has announced plans to introduce Windows Copilot to Windows 10 users in the near future, with testing expected to commence in the coming weeks. This suggests that more features will likely be making their way to Windows 10 over the next year, reinforcing the company's commitment to the platform.
In related news, sources indicate that Microsoft is also planning to reopen the Windows Insider Beta Channel for Windows 10 users in order to test upcoming features that are still in development. This signals a continuous effort by Microsoft to innovate and improve the Windows 10 experience for its vast user base.
As Microsoft continues to expand its services and offerings, it is evident that both Windows 10 and Windows 11 users can expect ongoing updates and improvements. Whether it's the new weather interface or other exciting features on the horizon, Microsoft is committed to enhancing the user experience across its Windows ecosystem.
