More users will be able to take advantage of this exciting new Windows 11
feature.
With the latest batch of upgrades, Windows 11 users may
expect a revamped search tool.By clicking or tapping on the taskbar, the new
"Search Highlights" function promises to "highlight important
and interesting moments of what's great about each day - including holidays,
anniversaries, and other educational points in time both internationally and in
your location."
The feature could be beneficial for those of us who use
business computers and laptops and who need a little additional help
remembering essential colleagues' birthdays.
Search in Windows 11
The feature will be sent out to Windows 11 users in a
"phased and measured" manner over the next weeks and months.
In March 2022, the functionality was rolled out to Windows 10
users, and it's now available in Windows 11 version 22H2, which you can try out
if you're a Windows Insider.
Users will be able to explore more material inside the search
home, such as "phrase of the day," Microsoft Rewards offers, and
trending searches, with the new feature.
To help users get back to what they were doing last, the left
side of the search home will provide an expanded list of your recently launched
apps, files, settings, and websites.
If you don't like the function, you can disable it by
navigating to "Privacy & Security," then "More
Settings," and then deselecting "Show search highlights."
Additional controls are also accessible for organisational
administrators, which you may find by going here (opens in new tab).
Microsoft has been very busy in terms of releasing new
services for Windows developers.
Developers who don't have access to powerful mobile
workstations will benefit from Microsoft Dev Box, which will provide
self-service access to high-performance, cloud-based workstations that are
pre-configured and ready-to-code for specific projects.
