Microsoft is now releasing the updated Photos app to Insiders running Windows 11. The company traditionally does a gradual roll-out, so not everyone is getting the app right now. However, the good news is that you can just directly get the app from Microsoft's servers and enjoy it.

MIcrosoft today released ISO images for Windows 11 Build 22454, which was earlier available via Windows Update to Insiders on the Dev channel. Now you can clean install it on demand.

You can use a number of methods to change Time Zone in Windows 11. Incorrect time zone might be one of the reasons why your computer shows the wrong date and time. Although Windows 11 can detect time zone automatically, the process might fail if there is no active Internet connection.

Microsoft today released a couple of new builds to Windows 11 Insiders on the Beta and Dev channels. Both builds are actually minor releases, at least according to the official changelog.

Microsoft plans to launch Windows 11 on October 5, 2021. The new operating system might feel like a cosmetic-only update with minor feature improvements and controversial changes. Still, there are tons of enhancements and refinements "under-the-hood." Microsoft posted a video where Steve Dispensa, VP of Enterprise Management at Microsoft, details how Windows 11 improves performance on existing hardware compared to Windows 10.

Panos Panay, head of Windows & Devices, posted another teaser on his Twitter. This time it is dedicated to the new version of the Photos app for Windows 11. Members of the Windows Insider program are likely to receive an update in the coming weeks.

As you may already know, Windows 10 and Windows 11 are able to show promotional messages to the user right on the desktop. In order to promote integration of the upcoming Windows 11 with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft pushed such an ad to Insiders. But Explorer (that implements the shell of the Windows desktop) stopped responding, leaving users without a working Start menu and taskbar. That's what we wrote about on Friday. Here are some details on this issue.

There are multiple ways to disable the User Account Control (UAC) in Windows 11. UAC is a security layer that asks a user to confirm changes in the system different apps may try to make. By default, Windows 11 shows a UAC prompt when a program tries to run with elevated privileges (as Administrator).

Here is how to Join Windows Insider Dev Channel on Windows 11 with an unsupported device. Microsoft has started testing the next feature update for Windows 11, scheduled for release in fall 2022. Already, insiders on the Dev channel are receiving rs_prerelease builds with numbers 224XX and higher, which refer to either version 22H1 or 22H2.
