Microsoft is killing one of my most beloved Windows 10 features, a versatile tool that I use every single day, and I am incredibly sad about it.
I’ve recommended Windows 10’s Timeline tool (go.pcworld.com/tmtl) over and over again, calling it a truly helpful feature you don’t know about (go.pcworld. com/10hp) and recommending it as a key Windows tool to supercharge your productivity (go.pcworld.com/sprc). Timeline shows you a chronological history of your recent activity in supported key apps, including individual Office files, images, and browser tabs in Edge or Chrome. Clicking one of the files or webpages shown in Timeline opens it back up, making it dead simple to jump back into something you were working on before.
