Microsoft To-Do, as the name suggests, is a to-do list app that combines intelligent technology and beautiful design to help you prepare the work schedule.

Microsoft recently announced that the Word app will be updated with To-Do integration that would users to view the list of their remaining to-dos while working on Word document. For example, you can note down the things in Microsoft To-Do from any device and you will be able to edit the Word document, fill-in additional information to complete the document.

You can type ‘TODO: finish this section or <>’ and Word would recognise and track them as to-dos, explained Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365. In other words, you would need to mention to-dos within a placeholder and Word would track them with a deep link to the relevant list.

This feature will be rolled out to Word on Windows, Mac and web for Office 365 subscribers.

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

 

Microsoft testing blue light reduction feature for Windows 10

"Microsoft is slowly revealing new features in its next major update to Windows 10, and it appears blue light reduction feature might be a future addition. The software giant released a new build of Windows 10 testers yesterday with very few visible additions, but Windows enthusiasts have already started picking it apart for clues on new features. Twitter user "Core"has discovered references to a "BlueLightReduction" setting deep within the next major update to Windows 10 (codenamed Redstone 2). It appears to be a setting that will be toggled from the Action Center (notification center) in the operating system.

F.lux has been the most popular option for Windows users looking to reduce blue light in the evenings, but Microsoft's own native toggle will bring this feature to every Windows 10 user. Apple has also integrated a similar feature in iOS 9, but it hasn't announced any plans to bring blue light reduction to Mac OS yet. Microsoft only appears to be testing the feature right now, so there's no guarantee it will ship in the update due early next year. If Microsoft does implement it fully then it will presumably be available on the mobile version of Windows 10, too."
