MICROSOFT HIDES MSN FEED BY DEFAULT IN WINDOWS 11

Microsoft announced it will hide the MSN feed in Windows 11 widgets as part of a broader effort to make the feature "quiet by default." Users have been able to disable the feed manually for over two years, but the company is now making this the standard setting. "We're working to make Widgets feel less distracting and overwhelming by making the experience quiet by default," Microsoft stated. The company is testing new default settings designed to streamline the widget experience. In related leadership news, Microsoft reorganized its executive structure around the Office and Teams products. Ryan Roslansky, who leads Microsoft's LinkedIn division and took on the Office role last year, now oversees a newly created Work Experiences Group that includes the Teams organization. The changes stem from a broader reshuffle within the experiences and devices division.
