The News & Interests feature keeps failing: localization errors

"

One of the novelties that have arrived this year in Windows 10 is the new weather and news feed, called News and interests, located on the taskbar next to the icons and the clock. A function that already in the beginning caused numerous problems and that to this day still continues to generate discontent among users"

At the time it was the high resource consumption it caused, but it was only limited to development builds. The problem is that when it reaches everyone after passing through the development channels, complaints are multiplying and many choose to eliminate it.

Location failures, blurred vision and more

"

The News & Interests feature>It is based on information from Microsoft&39;s MSN and the content appears personalized based on your web browsing activities."

"

The problem is that with the June 2021 update, News and Interests> is reaching all users on a mandatory basis. If you have it active, you will see a new weather icon appear on the taskbar."

"

A feature, News & Interests, that appears is causing location-related failures or as the icon does not appear sharp and is looks blurry on the taskbar."

Other comments refer to a text, that of the button, which appears pixelated on screens with a higher resolution, although Most notable are localization flaws, where the feed places users in a different location, resulting in the feed showing news headlines from different countries in the wrong foreign language.

"

News & Interests gets data based on device location settings and in this sense other users refer to Wrong weather forecasts ."

Changes present also when running web view, with flickers appearing during scrolling, glitches between light and dark mode or problems when a battery saving mode is active.

It is clear that Microsoft still has a lot to do if it wants users to bet on this function and not end up disabling it in their teams.
