I’ve learned it’s really important to properly clean a computer before you get rid of it – whether you’re recycling, trading it in, or giving it away.

The biggest news this week is Keeper, a charming new game from Xbox Game Studios.

Plus, more gamers are playing on multiple devices, creating a need for versatile accessories. This is all changing the landscape of gaming headsets.
I’m really excited about this latest Windows update! They’re finally bringing some smart AI features right into File Explorer, which should make finding things so much easier. Plus, they’ve given the sharing experience a fresh look. But it’s not just about looks – they’ve added some really useful stuff like Administrator Protection to keep things secure. The Settings app is getting a big overhaul too, with a new Advanced section and even letting you customize where those hardware indicator icons show up. They’re also opening things up to let third-party apps handle passkeys, and they’re slowly but surely moving features over from the old Control Panel, which is great to see. Overall, it feels like a really solid update focused on both usability and security.
Now that we’re part of Xbox, we’re really encouraged to connect with and learn from other studios.
