Reporting Microsoft news since 2012 and helping people figure all sorts of things in Windows, with which I am in love-hate relationship. Daily running Windows + Apple, but I don't care what gadgets people use as long as they are happy with them.
Windows 8 is underrated, Windows Phone was the best OS with no apps.
If the ever-increasing number of Windows 11 ads irritates you, this new app can help fix the situation. Aptly called "Oh F**k Go Back," the simple utility provides a fast and easy solution.
Microsoft Edge 126 is now available for testing in the Dev Channel. Version 126.0.2552.0 brings new taskbar media controls, PDF toolbar improvements, and various fixes across the browser.
Microsoft is rolling out a small feature update for Edge 124 in the Stable Channel. Version 124.0.2478.80 adds an internet speed tester to the sidebar toolbox and fixes two security vulnerabilities.
Did you know that modern Xbox consoles cannot remember more than one Wi-Fi network? Whether it is a problem or not, Microsoft is working on the ability to remember up to 10 Wi-Fi networks on Xbox.
Vivaldi 6.7 is now available on iPadOS and iOS. The latest release introduces SplitView support, allowing you to place up to three Vivaldi windows on one screen, sort notes and bookmarks, and more.
Valve reports that Windows 11's market share on Steam has nearly caught up with Windows 11. In April 2024, Windows 11 jumped from 41% to 45%, and now it is just 6 points away from Windows 10.
Microsoft's Cascadia Code font, which is used in Windows Terminal, has received a major update with support for Quadrants, Sextants, Octants, Large Type Pieces, more legacy symbols, and Nerd Fonts.
Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
The new report from Statcounter shows Microsoft Edge slowly climbing up and getting closer to a 13% market share. However, in April 2024, Chrome also increased its share in the desktop browser market.
The Arc browser is now publicly available on Windows 11, offering PC users a unique take on modern browsers. Its launch ad also cleverly dunks on Edge, suggesting sending it to Recycle Bin.
Microsoft has updated release notes for the latest Windows 11 Beta build to clarify that the "WindowsMigration" app is a component of Windows Backup that appeared in the Start menu due to a bug.
Microsoft Edge 125 is now available for final testing in the Beta Channel before its public debut for all users. The latest update introduces improvements for sleeping tabs, workspaces, and more.
A new version of Tiny11 Builder by @NTDEV_ is out with a new important feature: you can now make lightweight Windows 11 images with disabled telemetry. Future updates promise to bring more.
Mozilla released another minor update for the Firefox browser across supported platforms. Version 125.0.3 fixes the bug with blank 0.0.0.1 pages, text corruption on Linux, and more.
Microsoft Edge now displays a "Rewrite with Copilot" popup whenever you select text in text fields. If you do not like this behavior, here is how to get rid of the popup by turning it off in Settings.
