  2. Windows 11 July 2026 patch is out!

    Microsoft have recently released this month’s Patch Tuesday for Windows 11 computers and laptops, and they usually contain new features that the normal patches will include. These new features, along with many improvements and bug fixes, will enhance your user experience by making some of the features easier to use. The official changelogs for this month’s patch is:

    • [Secure Boot] This update includes additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Certificate deployment via Windows updates continues
    • [Apps (Known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects certain third-party apps that use OLE Automation to interact with Microsoft Office. After installing the June 2026 security update (KB5094126), these apps might fail to launch Office or open documents.
    • [Input] This update changes hotkey unregister and cleanup behavior. In rare cases, some built-in Windows experiences that rely on previous hotkey lifecycle behavior might temporarily stop responding to certain keyboard shortcuts. This issue can typically be resolved by restarting the app affected. If the issue is not resolved, report it through the Feedback Hub.
    • [Networking] This update introduces a security hardening change that enforces TDI transport registration requirements. As a result, applications that use sockets over unregistered third-party TDI transports might stop working after installing this update. Registered TDI transports are not affected. For more information, see Third-party TDI transports might stop working after installing Windows security updates released on or after July 14, 2026.
    • [Security] This update upgrades the curl tool in Windows to version 8.21.0 and includes security improvements that help protect your device.
    • [Remote Desktop (RDP) Security] Support for SHA-2 certificate thumbprints has been added for trusted RDP publishers, with SHA-1 support retained only for backward compatibility and planned for future removal. New guidance is available for managing RDP file security through Group to help organizations reduce phishing risks by controlling which .rdp files users can open. We recommend IT administrators migrate to SHA-256 thumbprints or a stronger algorithm as soon as possible to avoid disruption.

    To install this update, you can just click on a big Check for updates button in the Windows Update settings. Usually, Windows 11 automatically updates your computer to this patch update. Installation of updates on an SSD should not take more than 10 minutes, but performing the same update on an HDD may take more than 30 minutes.

    Enjoy the new features!

  9. Engadget: Microsoft is making the Windows Search Box more streamlined and useful . “Microsoft announced that a bunch of new adjustments are coming to the Windows Search Box in Windows 11. Each individual item is a minor improvement, but hopefully in aggregate, the changes will add up to a better experience for search.”

  11. If you're using #Windows and a #VPN service in order to get some #privacy, you may probably re-think and switch to a modern #Linux instead.

    If you need further incentive for that step:

    #Microsoft does generate a unique "Global Device ID" #GDID. This is not the bad news as all/most systems do have those (Linux: "man machine-id").

    The issue at hand is that Microsoft is transmitting that GDID with many network transmissions of yours and you can't prevent that from happening.

    Using that ID, the FBI identified bad guys that were using VPN for their felonies.

    While catching really bad guys is always a plus, it also proved that your privacy is ignored while #surveillance is maximized when your activities may always be tracked down to your unique Windows ID.

  15. It’s been 0 days since the last time I’ve had Bluetooth issues on #Windows11

    Before that it had been almost 2 weeks, one of which I was on holiday.

  16. For my sins, I still have a Microsoft Surface (Win 11, local account, mostly offline) to rip Blu-rays. And - jeez - it's so slow compared to five years ago when it was my main computer.

    I daily drive Linux Mint now but I'm so sorry for the rest of you on Windows 11. It just sucks. *

    (* -- except it does rip Blu-rays using MakeMKV without issues, unlike my two other Linux Mint machines.)

  22. Pour le coup au contraire le fichier mbox a sauvé la mise et a permis de récupérer un email important. Mais c'est pas une situation stable.

    Et au passage j'ai découvert que l'#HistoriqueDesFichiers de #Windows11 sauvegarde pas %AppData%. Ils veulent vraiment qu'on utilise #OneDrive (non)

La différence en matière d'utilisation de la mémoire vive est incroyable ! Et puis, c'est vraiment dommage qu'un système d'exploitation libre soit bien plus beau qu'un système payant ! », peut-on lire dans les commentaires sur Reddit. De nombreux répondants affirment également avoir sauté le pas vers Linux Mint."

  26. Got fixed bad crashes with several games. Windows just died, as if someone pulled the plug. It turned out to be a problem with three displays and two GPUs. For some reason i no longer remember, i had two displays wired through CPU-integrated GPU and one through external GPU. Moving all displays to the external GPU fixed the crashes.
