Microsoft retires Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop application
The chromium version of the Microsoft Edge is the latest browser from the Redmond giant that is currently being offered to Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux (as preview). Now the software giant is ramping up its efforts to kill the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) browser. Last year, Microsoft took a new move to phase out Internet Explorer for its new Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge browser.
With the latest Windows 10 Insiders Preview Build 21387, Microsoft drops the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop application. If you are using any legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and applications, you can still access them by using the built-in Internet Explorer mode (“IE mode”) of the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser. The company said the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10

Microsoft turns off the “Eco mode” feature in Task Manager

Now, with the latest Windows 10 build 21387, released to the insiders in the Dev Channel, Microsoft turned off the "Eco Mode" feature to address several issues reported by the Windows Insiders. We are turning off the “Eco mode” feature in Task Manager in order to refine the experience and address several issues
