While Windows 10 has become better in many ways, the advertisements keep multiplying. No such luck, though: The news feed is already part of the New Tab page in the new Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge. You can hide the news feed, but it’s full of junk, and I wish Microsoft would remove it entirely. By default, it shows a news feed full of clickbait articles about the world’s wealthiest celebrities, credit card offers, shopping advertisements, and dental implant information. Microsoft said it removed the Start button from Windows 8 because of low usage, but the 3D Objects folder sticks around? Microsoft Edge’s Horrible News Feed Thanks to telemetry, Microsoft has to know how many people use this feature-and it can’t be many. You have to use a registry hack to hide the 3D Objects folder. At least you can easily uninstall apps like Paint 3D. Those features are cool, I guess, but they’re not important to most PC users. Microsoft talked up the idea of converting Minecraft worlds to 3D models and then printing them. The 3D Objects folder was added to Windows 10 as part of Microsoft’s 3D obsession back in the Creators Update days, when Windows 10 also received features like Paint 3D, Mixed Reality (actually just virtual reality) headsets, and 3D printer support. How many Windows 10 users actually use this folder? Is it really that important? I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of seeing the “3D Objects” folder under This PC in File Explorer. Thankfully, Windows 10 users can disable the People icon until then. Microsoft needs to get rid of this feature. The list of available apps for My People in the Store is tiny and extremely sad. Microsoft hasn’t even adopted My People for its services, so it’s unsurprising that only a handful of apps have integrated with it. Does Facebook’s Windows 10 app integrate with it? Of course not. It doesn’t even work with the SMS features built into the Your Phone application. You might expect that People would be integrated with other Microsoft applications like Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, Yammer, and Xbox Live Chat, but you’d be wrong. In reality, My People has integrated with very few services: In the default Windows installation, it only works with Mail and Skype. You can even pin your favorite contacts to the taskbar and have one-click access to your favorite people!


Click it, and you can chat with people on a variety of different services. The My People feature lives on Windows 10’s taskbar by default.
