Microsoft has just released Windows 10 build 21313 for users in the Dev channel, and the highlight is the news and interest update that now becomes available for users in more languages and markets.

Microsoft is bringing a new experience to the taskbar, allowing users to pin the weather to the taskbar and expand the UI with a dedicated popup showing news and other info.

Previously, the feature was only available for users in certain regions, but Microsoft is now making it available for more testers.

“We’ve heard your feedback! Today we’re excited to announce that we’re expanding the news and interests experience on the taskbar to a broader set of international languages and markets. Previously, the experience was only available in United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and India. This now means that the news content, weather forecasts, sports and finance updates will be based on your location anywhere in the world!” the company explains.

“News and interests will automatically detect your language and location, and deliver a localized experience consisting of content from local publishers and data providers.”

Chromium Edge now offered as the only option

Microsoft also announced that the Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge is replacing Edge Legacy once and for all in Windows insider builds – the change is also projected to happen on production devices with the April Patch Tuesday rollout.

There are obviously several other improvements in this build, and you can check out the full changelog in the box after the jump.

For example, users are no longer allowed to copy and paste a screen snip directly into File Explorer, with Microsoft explaining that it discovered an issue with the whole thing, so it plans to re-enable the same functionality at a later time in a future Windows 10 Insider build.
