Microsoft released the unpolished version of News and Interests There’s another bug where the feed stops working after sign in and displays a blank window, which can be fixed by restarting Windows Explorer. The scrolling is not smooth and feels laggy in general, and overall performance suffers another blow when you use your laptop/notebook in the battery preserving modes. It does not behave like the scroll bars in other windows apps where the scroll bar matches the theme of the app. For example, you can notice stutters while scrolling and the scroll bar is white in dark mode. Unfortunately, the web view has its own share of issues. Windows 10’s News and Interests feed is technically based on the same feed that powers your Windows Search. In my case, it showed me that the sky is mostly cloudy, but that was not the case when I looked outside my window and compared the stats with other weather apps. However, we observed that the weather widget can show stale information after login. The default view of the weather widget seems to base its information on both your location setting and system setting. Stale weather information in News and Interests My device is in English US, the region from Windows settings is the United States and no Finnish language pack nor keyboard layout is installed,” a user explained the problem.

“I’m in Finland and when I change the language, it changes to English but after a while, it reverts back to Finnish.

Some users flagged localization issue where the feed will show news headlines from different countries in an incorrect foreign language. News and Interests feed has other issues too. I was able to reproduce this bug on my device running Windows 10 version 21H1. Similarly, some people said that the text on the taskbar button will look pixelated on high-resolution screens when the feature is enabled or disabled.

The issue does not appear on my laptop with 125% scaling,” a user explained the problem in a post on Feedback. “The new feature is cool, but for some reason, only the text is very blurry on 100 percent scaling, but on 150% it’s fine along with 175% & 200%. For instance, some users claim there’s an issue with the News and Interests feed where the weather widget icon is blurry. However, Microsoft’s News and Interests feed is far from perfect and it’s plagued with numerous quality issues.
