Personalization of news and interests
A new set of features for customizing the news and interests feed allows for better customization for suggested highlights. On the taskbar, the "Manage Interests" option displays a personalization experience of what is really interesting to the user, allowing them to navigate between topics and save the most relevant ones.
For new users, the system even suggests a personalization card to remind them about these options of personal interest. The topics available on the platform involve a large number of categories, ranging from news, entertainment, sports, cooking and so on. Once chosen, the user can still view them in a list in the "Followed interests" option available on the left side of the news and interests panel.
Along with this option, features such as "Tune your feed" for easier navigation between news stories, the "Following Editors" option to view stories from a single editor/site, or the "I'm not interested in this story", "No like the font" or "Report an issue" to refine the user experience.

Display Settings
In order to improve battery performance on computers that have this feature, such as notebooks, for example, the adaptive display control option allows the user to have greater autonomy, compromising the brightness rate delivered on the screen. but with the trade-off of decreasing image quality. These image changes have generated a good number of feedbacks that have requested that this adaptive brightness be turned off.
Well, to meet the demand of users who prefer to disable or configure in a way that does not disturb them, this option was inserted in the system. In addition, the image mode in the HDR standard is also available (for monitors that are compatible).
Windows 10: Virtual Desktops and Auto HDR will arrive with update (Build 21337)camera setup
During the pandemic, using webcam has become much more popular. Perhaps because of this, Microsoft noted that it was necessary to improve the system's native features. In addition to the option to add and remove cameras, the update now brings the configuration of image defaults such as brightness and contrast control.
These features are usually already available in video conferencing applications such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, but the option to configure it directly from Windows makes it the default setting for all programs that use the camera, including the native Windows application. Until then, these features are basic, but they show an interest from the company as it advances in its configuration molds. Depending on the features supported by the camera, you can configure brightness and contrast, enable HDR or Eye Contact default, or correct camera rotation.
