The Windows 10 timeline feature was added in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) and allows you to view your PC activity in chronological order. Press the Windows key and Tab key at the same time to display the task view, and move the scroll bar at the right end to display the apps and work contents started in the past with thumbnails.
In addition, you can share your timeline across multiple devices if you're signed in with the same Microsoft account. For example, if you create a document on your PC and view the timeline on another device logged in with the same account, you can continue creating the document without having to move the files using the media.

In Azure Active Directory. Your connected account isn't affected. If you want to view your web history, Edge and other browsers have the ability to look back on your recent web activity, and use OneDrive or Office to preview your recent files. You can also display it. ' However, the history of the timeline and local activity so far is not deleted, and it will remain in Windows 10.
'The timeline feature relied heavily on Microsoft's Cortana Assistant, and Cortana was needed to take advantage of the timeline feature on iOS and Android devices,' said IT news media The Verge. .. Following the end of support for the Cortana app for iOS and Android in January 2021, he said, 'It's no wonder that the timeline feature is gone.'
