You can now create events even faster — here’s how on Windows 10

Although after installing the Windows 10 November 2019 Update, you won’t see significant visual changes or new features, because this is a minor update to enhance the work available with the May 2019 Update, you’ll still find smaller improvements to existing features.

For instance, with the eighth semi-annual update, you’ll now find a new option embedded in the taskbar that will give faster access to create events and reminders without even having to open the Calendar app.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to quickly create calendar events and reminders using the new taskbar option available with the November 2019 Update.
