Some Windows 11 users have noticed that choosing the “update and shut down” option doesn’t always work as expected. Instead of fully turning off, the computer installs the update and then restarts, bringing you back to the login or desktop screen.
Electronic Arts and DICE are aiming to make a big splash with Battlefield 6, and early indications suggest they’re succeeding. After a fantastic multiplayer reveal in July, the game’s open beta in August was hugely popular, breaking player count records previously held by Call of Duty and generating a lot of buzz. This has created high anticipation for the game’s release on October 10th.
The newest operating system update (version 25H2) doesn’t have any brand new features specifically for the Settings app. However, most of the improvements made to version 24H2 over the past year are now included in both versions.
Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Surface Pro for ages, and Best Buy has a really good deal right now! Normally, the 12-inch Surface Pro costs $799, but they’re selling it with the keyboard for only $749. Since the keyboard usually costs $149 separately, that means you’re saving a full $200 if you get the bundle. And if you don’t need the keyboard, you can actually get the Surface Pro itself for just $699. It’s a great price either way!
Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 next week, on October 14, 2025. Many users are switching to Windows 11, while others are opting for Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates to continue receiving support for Windows 10 for one more year.
Researchers at Cambridge University recently created an artificial intelligence tool that can forecast how Alzheimer’s disease will develop. The tool is highly accurate – about 80% of the time – and could help doctors suggest the best treatments and support for patients early on, before the disease gets worse.
As a Windows 11 user, I was running into this really annoying bug with my multiple monitors. If I tried to open the notification center from the little system tray icon on a screen *other* than my main one, absolutely nothing would happen! It’s great to see they’re finally fixing these kinds of issues.
I’ve been daily driving the Beelink SER9 Pro for the last month, and this is my full review.
Two new playlists, called Moshpit and Search and Destroy, have been added to the game. These playlists are designed to lessen the effects of Skill Based Matchmaking. While people have different opinions on whether that’s a good thing or not, many players are reporting that their ping (the delay between your actions and the game server) is noticeably lower in these new playlists compared to the standard ones.
If we temporarily ignore how important Xbox Game Pass is to Xbox’s income – and the fact that most Game Pass users play on Xbox consoles – and also set aside the limitations and costs of Xbox Cloud Gaming, something interesting emerges. Considering the same technology could be used to let people create their own local “cloud” powered by their home electricity – essentially, like a traditional console – the current direction seems a bit odd. Nevertheless, this is the path Microsoft is taking.
