Windows 10 21H1 projected to launch as soon as next month

Microsoft has recently released the News and Interests experience it’s been testing in the Windows Insider program to preview builds of Windows 10 version 21H1, and there’s a chance it would make its way to older versions of the operating system as well.

The latest cumulative updates for insiders bring the News and Interests feature to Windows 10 21H1, 20H2, and 2004, so most likely, it would soon roll out to everyone out there in the production channel.

The News and Interests feature brings a weather widget to the taskbar. When clicked, the new icon launches a modern UI where users can access news and articles on pre-configured topics.

Microsoft says the feature is still in preview, obviously without sharing any specifics as to when production devices could get it.

“We are rolling out news and interests on the Windows taskbar to Beta and Release Preview rings. This has been available in the Dev Channel, with on-going improvements based on Insider feedback. News and interests on the taskbar make it easy to stay up to date with information at a glance, and we look forward to hearing what you think,” the company explains.

Windows 10 21H1

The next Windows 10 feature is projected to be finalized in just a few weeks and then shipped to the first wave of production devices by the end of May.

It’ll be just a small release with the focus on under the hood improvements.

“Based on feedback and learnings during the past year of extensive remote work, learning and play, version 21H1 will be delivered with servicing technology (like that used for the monthly update process and how 20H2 was delivered).  Windows 10, version 21H1 will have a scoped set of features improving security, remote access and quality. The features we are releasing in this update are focused on the core experiences that customers have told us they’re relying on most right now,” Microsoft said.

Windows 10 21H1 should reach the RTM phase in a few weeks.
