Windows 11 users have endured another wave of update-related headaches, and this time Microsoft has subtly confirmed what many suspected: recent mandatory system updates have negatively affected system stability. This development contrasts sharply with the company’s own narrative that Windows 11 is its “most reliable” operating system ever. June’s updates—KB5060842 and KB5063060—are at the heart of the latest round of issues. These cumulative updates were pushed automatically as part of Microsoft’s update cycle and were aimed at preparing systems for Windows 11 version 24H2. But rather than improving performance and security, they introduced new complications. Some users found themselves unable…

If you’ve been holding out for a compact, high-end keyboard that offers both portability and premium features, Logitech’s MX Keys Mini might be exactly what you’re looking for—and it just dropped to a remarkably low price. Usually listed at $100, this wireless keyboard is now available for only $59.99 from Woot, but the catch is that you’ll have to act quickly, as inventory is limited and the best part of the discount ends today. The MX Keys Mini is built for minimalist setups without sacrificing performance. Its 60% layout gives you a small footprint while still including full arrow keys,…

The TPM 2.0 requirement has been one of the most talked-about barriers for users looking to upgrade to Windows 11. Designed to boost system security and integrity, TPM 2.0 provides crucial features like secure boot, BitLocker support, and protection against firmware-level threats. For Microsoft, this component isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a baseline standard for running Windows 11, and it’s been that way since the OS launched in 2021. As a result, millions of users with otherwise capable PCs have found themselves stuck on Windows 10 due to missing or unsupported TPM modules. But despite Microsoft’s clear position, some users are…

Today marks the beginning of Microsoft’s rollout of Copilot Mode for Edge — an experimental new experience that replaces the standard new tab layout with a Copilot-driven interface and allows the AI to monitor all currently open tabs. Microsoft is pitching it as a free, time-limited test, with no word yet on what the future subscription model might look like. It’s entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in Edge’s Settings at any time. Once active, Copilot Mode replaces the content-rich “new tab” page with a clean interface that resembles Microsoft’s standalone Copilot app. Rather than surfacing a…

Sam Altman has often championed the transformative power of ChatGPT and OpenAI’s large language models. But in a recent podcast appearance, he took a different angle—one that should give users serious pause about how and where they’re using AI chatbots. Speaking with comedian Theo Von, Altman highlighted a major privacy concern: OpenAI retains all your inputs, and under current law, that means anything you say to ChatGPT could be legally requested and handed over. Altman didn’t mince words about how deeply people confide in ChatGPT. “People talk about the most personal shit in their lives,” he said, noting that many…

Following the release of the optional July update (KB5062660), Microsoft took to its Windows IT Pro blog to praise the direction of Windows 11 24H2, promoting it as a milestone in the platform’s evolution. The update introduced a range of new capabilities, including the controversial Windows Recall feature for EU users, a reimagined alternative to the Blue Screen of Death, and Quick Machine Recovery—a system tool meant to restore Windows machines that fail to boot properly in the wake of large-scale issues. Beyond these functional changes, Microsoft’s blog post delivered a more strategic message: Windows 11 24H2 is, according to…

Valve, are you paying attention? While you’ve been preoccupied with moderating adult content and leaving fans waiting for a new Steam Deck refresh, something far more dangerous has been creeping into your storefront—actual malware. For the third time this year, a game on Steam has been caught delivering malicious software to unsuspecting users, and this time it may not be the work of scammers, but the result of a compromised developer. Security firm Prodaft, via BleepingComputer, reports that the game Chemia—a post-apocalyptic crafting sim listed in Early Access—was injected with malware on July 22nd. Researchers say that two distinct spyware…
