Windows 10: Windows 10 KB5058481 sends users to Bing from new Calendar UI’s rich content

Windows 10 KB5058481 is now rolling out as an optional update, and it’s one of the last few updates for the dying operating system. KB5058481 adds back seconds to the Calendar after it was removed for some users earlier this year, but it also revamps the UI, which now has rich content for events. The rich content now sends you to Bing.com.



Until last year, Windows 10 had a basic standard look for the Calendar UI. As you can see in the screenshot below, which I made to compare the “evolution,” the Calendar UI originally had a big clock at the top with a date underneath it, and it worked just fine.

The first Calendar flyout UI is the standard UI since Windows 10’s launch in 2015. Earlier this year, Microsoft started experimenting with a new Calendar flyout that drops seconds for a more minimalist look.



The updated Calendar flyout without seconds was rolled out to some users only, but more people started seeing it in April 2025 after security updates. After feedback and outrage, Microsoft is finally adding back seconds to the Calendar UI with Windows 10 KB5058481 (May 2025 Optional Update), which is available today.

After the update, as you can see, the clock now shows seconds clearly and also specifies AM or PM.

The weather section includes an icon and two temperatures (high and low). There’s also a new event section below that shows a real calendar event with an image.

It doesn’t look bad, and it only makes the Calendar flyout more colourful, but in our tests, Windows Latest noticed that when we click on the image icon representing the event, it opens that as a query on Bing.com.

Yes, Calendar flyout is now sending users to Bing.com to learn more about the event, which might be the whole idea behind adding the icons in the first place. I made a video that shows off the new Calendar flyout in action:

This change is rolling out with Windows 10 KB5058481, which is an optional update and requires users to download it manually by selecting “Download and install.” Once you’ve received the update, you’ll automatically begin seeing the new Calendar flyout.

It may not show up immediately as it’s being rolled out, but once it’s there, you’ll automatically see the event images, and when you click on the image, you’ll be redirected to Bing.com.

I don’t think it’s a big deal that Microsoft is sending users to Bing, as it does that all the time, but if you dislike how Calendar Flyout has changed, you can tap on the three dots and hide the agenda view:



While it makes the Calendar Flyout more compact, it does not remove the event image, which still opens Bing.com.

The Calendar Flyout is limited to Windows 10 KB5058481, which is the May 2025 optional update, but it’ll begin rolling out to everyone with the June 2025 Patch Tuesday.

The new option of adding Bing calendars in Windows 10 Calendar

I have just discovered this wonderful new feature of the Windows 10 Calendar app which allows you to incorporate Bing calendars showing dates and times of games for your favorite teams and competitions, air dates of your favorite shows, etc. Astonishingly
useful, and very clever improvement.

However:

• Once you add the specific Bing calendar, the entries therein become associated by default to one of my accounts that reside in the Calendar app, and I have no way of associating them to a different account. Can they be associated to a different calendar
  account by default?
• These new entries (TV shows, sports fixtures) can be color-categorized, but they can't be deleted individually unless you uncheck the entire Bing calendar that planted them in your calendar app in the first place. Which will delete all entries from that
  calendar, of course. Is there a workaround? Can they be deleted individually?
• Once I incorporate a Bing calendar to the Calendar app (albeit associated to the wrong account -- see avove,) that Bing calendar and its entries will show up in any device where I have the Calendar app and the associated account configured. For instance,
  on my Windows phone, which is great. However -- Is there a way to incorporate these Bing calendar entries to the Outlook 2016 mail client? I have the supporting account installed in it, but it is not showing the Bing Calendar entries which
  do show up in the Windows 10 Calendar app. And I tend to work more with the Outlook 2016 calendar than with the Windows 10 Calendar app.

 

The new option of adding Bing calendars in Windows 10 Calendar

So, does the response given here mean "no, this feature is not currently supported and MSFT would need to add it"?

The ambiguous way that MSFT personnel reply to answers is little short of taxing to users. Reply swiftly and plainly and it would help save us a lot of wasted energy.

I have this same query and reading the above can assume it's not part of Outlook Calendar 2016 (as I can't find a way to achieve it whereas the Calendar internet app does do it) but I'm not sure ......

 

Windows 10 Bing Metro UI apps no longer open (e.g. News, Weather, Sport)

I recently did an upgrade to the latest Windows 10 insider preview (to test out the Ubuntu Bash on Windows).

After testing I rolled back to a previous stable version (then disabled the insider preview updates), so I'm now back on a stable version.

But now none of the Bing Modern-UI apps open.

If I click News, Weather or Sport the mouse pointer spins for a few seconds and then nothing. If I have Task Manager open, the apps don't even show up.

If I go to the Windows Store page for the apps to try and uninstall them, I don't get any options as the page loads but the spinner on the app page just spins forever (so the uninstall/install button never shows up).

I've attempted to reinstall the default apps from Powershell using Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" but it hasn't fixed anything.

Other Modern-UI apps work (Like Mail, Calendar etc).

I've also created a new user account on the machine and the Bing apps work fine under that user account (they just don't work on my user account).

Does anyone have any ideas of what's wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks
