Following the public release of Windows 11 last year, Microsoft has been adding new features to its latest desktop OS every now and then. However, with a recent cumulative update, the company has added a brand new feature to its previous-gen Windows 10 OS. The new feature is called Search Highlights, and it initially showed up on the Windows 11 Insider Build 22572, which was released earlier this month. Check out the details below.
Microsoft has started rolling out a new, optional update for Windows 10 that brings the new Search Highlights feature to the platform. The update comes as KB501143 for Windows 10 versions 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 and takes the build numbers of these Windows 10 versions to 19042.1620, 19043.1620, and 19044.1620, respectively.
Users will be able to access the Search Highlights as soon as they open up the search on Windows 10. Furthermore, the users can hover, click, or tap the illustration in the search box to get more details at a glance, which is pretty neat.
Apart from this major new feature, Windows 10 also gets the ability to change colors of toast buttons and the new policy for apps to get their top three priority notifications in the Action Center by default. It also fixes the issue wherein Android users are unable to sign in to Microsoft apps and the one that makes the Back button of the credential page invisible. There are a number of other bug fixes included too.
