I decided to update Windows 10 yesterday only to find it had installed another piece of junk that I don't want, this information rubbish that pops up on the task bar. Luckily I found out how to turn it off after a bit of faffing around but I am getting fed up with them forcing all this crap on us.
If you are wondering how I only updated yesterday it's because I use Sledgehammer so that Windows updates when I want it to and not when it wants to. This way I escape any bugs or any other problems from new updates.

It is really dodgy that they included this within a "Quality" update which is not meant to include new features. There are reports of it messing up system tray icons and dual monitor setups.
I think they have done this now in preparation for Windows 11 which no longer includes live tiles in the Start Menu. They clearly still want a way to present promoted items.

ofcourse it's dodgy it's a leak for crying out loud.
No, 11 Ultra haha.
I’m talking about the new news and weather app in Windows 10 though. Which was delivered through the official release channel.

I am still confused why they even bothered with the number system they should have just called it windows (drop the numbering included in the name) and make the build number do all the talking..( ie Microsoft Windows [Version 11.0.xxxxx.xxxx]

They might still do that, the OS that’s leaked isn’t final so who knows.
Marketing. They need something "new" every so often so they can do a big song and dance about this new thing they have to sell.

Just seen that MS have confirmed its real, and what they'll show on Thursday, will be a later build (about a month newer).

Link?
It was referenced in an Azure support document Microsoft published to GitHub. The document has since been removed but screencaps exists.
At some point you are going to have to accept it will be called Windows 11.
