Microsoft released the KB5034203 to Windows 10, and with this patch, the Redmond-based tech giant officially started the process of making Windows 10 EEA-compliant.
If you remember, late last year, in November, Microsoft declared the intention to makeWindows an EEA (European Economic Area)-compliant operating system, after the company was blacklisted in Europe due to it being considered as trying to monopolize the European market.
However, Microsoft announced its intention to turn Windows into an EEA-compliant operating system for various reasons, but one, in particular, is quite important:Copilot is not yet available in Europe, despite being released toWindows 11 in September 2023, and toWindows 10, in December 2023.
With Microsoft respecting European laws, the Redmond-based tech giant might release the AI tool on this market in 2024, and the company has to find a way to respect European regulation, if it wants to release the AI-based Windows to the region.
The KB5034203 is the first update to Windows 10 that renders the operating system EEA-compliant, and the process will be completed by March 6, 2024, so expect more updates with features that fit the European regulations.
In other details, the patch also brings the new lock screen experience to Windows 10: users will now get a detailed weather forecast on the lock screen, without having to log into the operating system at all. Plus,KB5034203also comes with a lot of changes and improvements which you can read about below.
