Axing OS features with one brutal swoop of the Windows wand isn't unusual by any ways; information technology'due south something occasionally required to bandbox up the Os in a sort of digital spring cleaning. Sometimes, Microsoft replaces these features with new options, finer shelving the older features. Other times, it expunges them completely.

Then, with that in mind, at that place's been something of a Windows ten reshuffle. The unlucky features to get the boot this time around include the Legacy Microsoft Edge and XDDM-based remote display driver.

News of Legacy Border being canned shouldn't come as much of a surprise since Microsoft recently announced it was withdrawing support following the launch of Chromium-based Edge. Information technology echoes news of Microsoft 365 apps proverb farewell to Internet Explorer 11, as Microsoft looks to pull the plug on IE in 2022.

1 such feature is 'Personalization roaming' settings — like slideshow, wallpaper, lock screen images and emphasis colors — now stuck in development stasis for the near future at least, with Microsoft adding that it could be fully "removed in a time to come release."

This setting was basically a way to sync your visual preferences to other Windows-based devices. Globe shattering? Not so much. But it was nice to have.

Clearly, such decisions are taken on the merit of research earlier existence actioned. Some other characteristic to be shelved is the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-Line (WMIC), which has been "superseded by Windows PowerShell for WMI. Notation: This deprecation only applies to the command-line management tool. WMI itself is not afflicted," Microsoft says.

On a more uplifting and separate note, Microsoft has made some Microsoft Teams video upgrades, giving hosts better control over who is on screen. Organizers volition be able to disable and enable video from specific attendees, or plow off the feeds of everyone on a call.
