It\u2019s just so\u2026 blurry. Why is the text so blurry?<br \/>\nThe real question isn\u2019t why it\u2019s so blurry, of course. The real question is why Microsoft rolled out the taskbar weather widget to everyone\u2019s Windows PCs in such a buggy state.<\/p>\n<p>As<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.windowslatest.com\/2021\/06\/13\/windows-10s-news-and-weather-feed-on-taskbar-is-a-mess\/\"> Windows Latest<\/a> points out, Microsoft was aware of the blurriness (and other issues) before this feature was released. The issue was even <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently fixed in a preview build.

If you click the weather information in the Weather widget you\u2019ll see the weather on MSN.com in your web browser.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a surprise. The Weather widget is designed to push MSN on Windows 10 users.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MSN_Ads_News_on_Your_Taskbar\"><\/span>MSN <s>Ads<\/s> News on Your Taskbar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-734466 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/news-panel.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The News and Interests panel popping up from Windows 10's taskbar.\" width=\"650\" height=\"392\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever wondered why you have to click your mouse to see the latest trending news stories on MSN?

This Weather widget is a great new source of revenue for Microsoft.

Well, here are some other problems with the Weather widget:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It Ignores Your Default Browser<\/strong>: When you click a story, it will always open Microsoft Edge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web-Based Configuration<\/strong>: Rather than a normal Windows settings interface, the News and Interests panel is configured on a web page in your browser.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s Just So Blurry<\/strong>: Seriously, why is it so blurry?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to prominent Windows leaker Albacore, this is just \u201cthe old Search\/Cortana app\u201d showing a different web page. It uses the old and discontinued EdgeHTML engine from the original Edge browser, which was removed from Windows 10 in favor of the new Edge.<\/p>\n<p>Albacore says the blurriness is caused by the fact that the widget itself is an embedded web view. Yes, with this feature enabled, the Windows taskbar is now basically showing a website all the time. Welcome to Windows in 2021.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">News and interests:<br \/>\u2013 is the old Search\/Cortana app simply showing a different page, thus using old EdgeHTML instead of Chromium<br \/>\u2013 adds blurry web bits into your taskbar<br \/>\u2013 truncates text because sizing is hard<br \/>\u2013 for some reason sources icons from..

It doesn\u2019t feel like something designed to make Windows better.
