Microsoft has warned about a bug that causes Windows 10 apps to display an "Open With" dialog box with the notification "How do you want to open this file?". It appears when you right-click on the app icon in the taskbar and select one of the available direct actions from that menu.

Windows 11 Build 22635.3785, the latest Beta channel build of version 23H2 released to insiders, comes with a few hidden features. For example, the build expiration date can now be visible in the Settings app, while earlier it was exclusively shown in the winver app. The Jump lists in Start and a new user interface for Desktop Spotlight are two officially announced features. But both are available to a limited number of Insiders, as Microsoft is collecting feedback before making them available to wider audience. Here's how to enable these features in your Windows 11 Build 22635.3785 Beta instance right now.

The AI-powered Recall feature in Windows 11 will analyze desktop content at the user's request, rather than in a default mode, as the company previously demonstrated. It is getting several user interface improvements that include the ability to organize them with tags, search them using advanced filters, and more.

Last Saturday, Microsoft resumed the earlier suspended rollout of Windows 11 version 24H2. It is again available to Insiders in the Release Preview channel. Microsoft has issued Build 26100.863, but didn't provide the list of changes.

Windows 11 Build 22635.3785 is a new release for Insiders on the Beta channel. With this update, the Start menu shows the jump lists for pinned Start menu apps. It also allows you to directly share your files to the linked Android smartphone. Finally, Microsoft is again testing various Spotlight UI variants on the desktop.

Windows 11 Build 26120.961 (KB5038575)  is now available in the Dev channel. It is a minor update, with no feature changes. It only comes with reliability improvements, and also includes an updated Store app.

Microsoft will be releasing its new Copilot Plus PCs next week, but without the controversial Recall feature that captures screenshots of user activities. The company has decided to hold off on including Recall in order to test it with the Windows Insider program. Initially, Microsoft had intended to offer Recall as an optional feature with enhanced security measures, but has now chosen to delay its launch.
