We're currently rolling out a refreshed gaming task view experience when in xbox mode to Insiders - I hope you like it 😊
A screenshot of the new gaming Task View - with new navigation bar to make key system actions easier to access while gaming (exit to desktop and power). The whole view has a big game window front and center, with left and right bumper actions, a big clock and showing the systray icons in the top (like batter %)

For those of you who wonder what we do here all day 😏 Emma, Yuki, and @YashMisra12 walk through some of the decisions we made on the new search experience - fun to see the team in action!

Last week, we shared the new Windows Search experience and how Search is moving from finding to doing. The team put together a Beyond the Build makers video, where @YashMisra12 and some of the team share the design and engineering decisions that shaped the experience. We’ll share more at today’s NYC Insider meetup. See you soon.

Is anyone else finding that they're missing a bunch of Twitter notifications recently? Like I go to my posts and I see comments I never saw in my notifications feed. Sometimes I even got a pop up notification about it but it's missing in my feed
