Until Windows 11, the lock screen in the Windows operating system was usually a window that didn’t attract much attention. Most users would quickly move on and start using their home screens. But Microsoft’s changes to this window for Windows 10 could turn that around.

The latest preview version of Windows 10 makes the lock screen highly functional

The new update introduces a number of new features that will allow users to access more information before turning on their PC.

First of all, with this new update, important information for users such as weather, traffic conditions and financial information can be added to the lock screen. This could make their daily lives easier by enabling users to access such information just before they enter their PC.

This update also brings the Windows Spotlight feature to the wallpaper. Windows Spotlight makes the lock screen more engaging by presenting users with a different image every day. Now this feature will allow users to have a changing background on their desktop, so they’ll see a new image every day.

However, this update doesn’t just affect the lock screen. Microsoft is constantly working to improve the overall performance and user experience of Windows 10. Given the fact that Windows 10 is still widely used even after the release of Windows 11, Microsoft’s improvements to this operating system are very important.

Importantly, support for Windows 10 will end in 2025. But during that time, there are assurances that Microsoft will still continue to update Windows 10 users. This is an important development for the millions of people currently using Windows 10.

As we said, all of the features mentioned above are already available in Windows 11. However, for those users who persistently continue to use Windows 10, this update will be very efficient. What do you think? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
