This is the new weather and news feed that Windows 10 launches: a resource hog
Table of contents:
Microsoft is distributing builds within its test channels, and the latest build adds an interesting and striking change that brings more features to the taskbar. In it we now find a section with information called News and interests with the weather which when clicked gives us access to a kind of news feed. "
A system to be informed similar to the one that Samsung mounted on its Android phones thanks to Upday and especially Google Discover. Information at your fingertips on the taskbar in a tool that, apparently, in the future can be customized by the user.
Functional and gluttonous
A functionality that collects the data displayed from MSN In this way it offers information about news and weather forecasts. A feed which, according to Windows Latest, is based on Windows Search using Microsoft.Windows.Search, which is located in the Windows > SystemApps folder, which is also responsible for the default Windows search experience. "
13, 5% of CPU for just watching a news…
The striking thing about this function News and interests>if it is being used it can be very gluttonous and require up to 145 MB (in tests) of device memory and a striking CPU consumption with up to 13.5%. Data that goes to zero if we stop using it."
This high consumption of resources has led Microsoft to announce that users will be able to customize the information feed and disable irrelevant content for thus minimizing the impact on consumption.
For now, the information that appears cannot be customized, it can only be shared, hidden, read for later or decided if we want to see more news like this.
This is a news feed that is currently under development, so it may reach all users in future builds. A reason for which the failures that it still offers can be excused. We will be attentive to see how it evolves.
