Microsoft has announced a wave of innovative features coming to Windows 11, its suite of apps, and the exclusive Copilot+ experience for PC. These updates focus on improving productivity, personalization, and accessibility, while also using AI to transform the user experience. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming.

Docker Desktop has officially arrived in the Microsoft Store, marking a major improvement to installation, updates, and enterprise management. This new distribution channel simplifies the lives of individual developers by giving IT departments greater control and streamlined deployment options.

Microsoft has released Windows 11 build 26120.3950 (KB5055653) to Insiders in the Beta channel. It shares the changelog with the today's Dev channel update.

Microsoft has released a new preview build of Windows 11, number 26200.5581 (KB5055651), to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel. Builds in the Dev channel are now numbered 26200, signaling that switching to the Beta channel will no longer be possible after installing build 26200.5510. If you wish to switch channels, pause updates in the Windows Update Center when 26200.5510 becomes available, make the switch, and then resume updates.

You need to clear icon cache if your desktop icons in Windows 11 look broken. That cache often becomes corrupted, and this is a common issue across all Windows versions. Here are the methods you can use to resolve this issue.

Microsoft has officially announced the general availability of the Windows 11 2024 Update (version 24H2) on its Release Information page. This marks the update's rollout to all users whose devices meet the minimum system requirements. The release of this latest version of Windows 11 initially took place on October 1, 2024, and is now accessible to a broader audience.

In a strategic effort to combat the growing prevalence of cyber threats, Microsoft announced that all newly created Microsoft accounts will now be created with passwordless authentication as the default setting. This move aims to mitigate vulnerabilities associated with traditional password systems, including phishing, brute-force attacks, and credential-based breaches that have historically posed significant security risks to users.

The Windows team has recently moved the mouse options from Control Panel to Settings, and now it is time for the keyboard settings. The actual Insider builds introduce character repeat delay and repeat rate options in the Settings app. This means their days of presence in the Control Panel are numbered.

Microsoft has confirmed an issue affecting Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2 after installing the April 8, 2025 cumulative update KB5055528. This problem prevents the upgrade to version 24H2 from downloading via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

Microsoft has reaffirmed its commitment to developing AI features for Windows with a focus on responsible AI principles. These principles, outlined in the Microsoft Responsible AI standard, focus on fairness, trustworthiness, security, privacy, inclusion, and transparency. Microsoft ensures that its AI-powered tools not only enhance user productivity but also prioritize ethical considerations and user safety.
