New features
Notification Center
- Microsoft has enabled Notification Center functionality on additional monitors. This means you'll be able to see your calendar on any of your monitors, as well as the ability to display a larger clock and seconds display above your calendar. You can open Notification Center on any monitor by clicking the date and time in the system tray on the taskbar.
Note: This feature is rolling out gradually, so it may not be available to all Insiders in the Canary ring.
