Windows 11’s taskbar search might finally use Google and Chrome if that’s what you want

A recent update to the early-release version of Microsoft Edge (Edge Canary) includes new settings that control how Windows handles searches entered into the taskbar. Outside of the European Economic Area, Windows will now automatically open Microsoft Edge and use Bing for any search typed into the taskbar, even if you’ve chosen a different browser as your default.

First look at Microsoft’s new auto light/dark mode switch for Windows 11 — coming soon to PowerToys

As a tech fan, I’m really impressed with this new PowerToys feature – they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into it. It’s called “Light Switch,” and it’s super easy to use. The interface is clean and intuitive, letting you set specific times for Windows to automatically switch between light and dark mode. It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference in my day-to-day experience!
