How to Enable Windows Timeline

Microsoft has introduced a new feature called Timeline in Windows 10 after rolling out the latest update. It is designed in a way so users can switch between platforms such as Android and iOS phones. It includes an overview of currently recent applications across your machine and gives you a detailed insight of all the items you were working on. This may extend to continuity in Windows applications in Android and iOS applications on other platforms.

Lately, however, many users have reported that they cannot see the timeline on their computer. It either seems to be disabled or doesn’t show complete information in its interface. By default, Windows doesn’t support third-party applications in its timeline feature. This feature is currently still under development and because it isn’t a complete product yet, you might see little use for it.
