You can change language for News and Interests feed, and this post will guide you how it can be done. The May 2021 cumulative update for Windows brought a brand-new widget to the taskbar.

Microsoft continues transforming the Office app on mobile platforms into a universal all-in-one productivity-oriented program. The app already supports tons of features, previously available in individual apps. For example, you can open any Office file, create and edit PDF, scan images, business cards, whiteboards, and QR codes, create forms, and even sharpen your presentation skills with an AI-based coach. The latest update on Android brings another welcomed addition to the Office app: Voice memos with automatic transcription.
As a part of the Windows Insider program, Microsoft, from time to time, hosts special bug-hunting events called "Bug Bash." During Bug Bash, Microsoft publishes "quests" - special tasks made to test the quality and stability of the new code, spot bugs, and gather more feedback and diagnostic data. Bug Bashes were an important part of the Windows Insider program, with two or even three "bashes" during a development cycle of a new update. For some reason, Microsoft hasn't hosted these events for the past few years. Luckily, the company is back with another Bug Bash to polish the next Windows release and fix as many bugs as possible.
Here's how you can remove a user profile from Microsoft Edge.
Edge Chromium brought lots of new features to the browser from Microsoft. Multi-profile support is one of those things that was previously missing. In a modern browser, support for multiple profiles is a must-have, especially if you share a computer with other people. But even if you are the only one who uses your PC, creating a new profile in Edge Chromium lets you separate work, entertainment, studying, etc. If you no longer need one of those profiles, Microsoft Edge has an option to quickly remove a user profile in just a few clicks.
You can enable the new Sharing Hub in Google Chrome. It hosts a number of quick actions, including Cast, Generate QR-code, Copy Link, and Save page.
As modern browsers increase the number of built-in features and capabilities, their UIs become more and more cluttered with different buttons and options. Some companies prefer a radical approach to solve this problem by purging redundant UI elements. For example, in the latest Firefox 89 Beta, Mozilla removed the Page Actions menu from the browser, moving available options to different places in the UI. Interestingly, Google just did the opposite: The company introduced a hub that combines several sharing-related features in a single menu.
Microsoft made it possible to cast media from OneDrive for Android to a TV or any other compatible device. Here's how to use this feature.
After adding 8K video and Live Photo support to OneDrive for Android and iOS, Microsoft is back with another much-needed update. This time, the Android client for the cloud-based storage from Microsoft gets special treatment. Version 6.9.1 is now available from the Google Play Store with the long-overdue ability to cast media from mobile to Chromecasts, TVs, and other devices compatible with popular media streaming protocols.
With the release of the May 2021 cumulative updates, Microsoft stopped supporting several Windows 10 versions. To be precise, three releases reached the end of life today, but if you are a regular consumer, you should only care about one.
Mozilla Foundation continues to purge lots of different features of its browser in an effort to refresh the appearance of Firefox. Aside from a big redesign, codenamed "Proton UI," Firefox 89 will bring some changes to the address bar.
At the beginning of this year, Microsoft announced an enhanced dark mode for Word. With the new feature, Office Word switches canvas' color from white to dark, easing the strain on the users' eyes. The dark theme for Office apps is not something new. In fact, it is available since the release of the Office 2016. Still, even with the dark theme applied, Word keeps pages white. Upcoming updates for Office will finally fix this inconvenience.
Here's how to enable Shopping Coupon Finder in Edge on Android, so the browser will be able to find shopping coupons for you.
Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have lots of shared code under the hood, but what makes the former stand out are some additional features and conveniences. One of such things is a built-in coupon finder. This feature automatically scans a website for available but hidden coupons to save you quite a lot of money. After bringing shopping features to desktops, Microsoft is now working on an identical capability for mobile.
