@Pirat_Nation Why this wasn't a priority for the past decade is mind boggling. It's like selling shoes and forcing a 10 pound insole and dental floss laces, no exceptions or modifications aloud.
Microsoft has shared an update on their promise from March 2026 to make Windows 11 faster, more reliable, and easier to use.
Many of these changes are now in test versions for early users and will reach everyone over time.
Here is a complete list of new and improved features delivered since March:
>The Windows Insider Program is now simpler with two main channels: Experimental and Beta.
It is clearer what each does, and you can switch or leave channels more easily without reinstalling Windows.
>Windows Update is easier to control.
-All updates now use one restart per month for the system, drivers, and other parts.
-You can skip updates during initial setup, pause them in 35-day steps, and the power menu always shows normal Restart and Shut Down options without forcing updates.
>Copilot and AI features are less pushy. -The “Ask Copilot” buttons were removed from Snipping Tool and Photos.
-In Notepad, the button now says “Writing Tools” instead of using a generic Copilot icon.
>File Explorer is more reliable and faster with fewer freezes, smoother opening and navigation, fewer sudden changes in the Home view, sharper thumbnails, and better dark mode support with less white flashing.
>Widgets and the Discover news feed are calmer and less distracting with fewer notifications and badges.
-The news feed is off by default and does not pop up.
-On the lock screen, Widgets show only the Weather tile by default. It also uses less memory.
>The system performs better overall, saving memory in many areas
The Start menu, Search, Action Center, and other tasks feel faster and more responsive.
More changes like taskbar options and Start menu tweaks are planned soon.
You can try the latest features early by joining the Windows Insider Program and selecting the Experimental channel.
Turns out the story of the year was just...made up. and it gets worse.
- John Doe is Chirayu Rana, 35, now a principal at Bregal Sagemount. he left JPMorgan and went straight to private equity.
- The whole "threaten his bonus" premise collapsed. Hajdini reported to a completely different managing director than Rana. she had no say over his compensation.
- JPMorgan pulled phone records, reviewed emails, interviewed the full team. found nothing. Rana even refused to participate in his own investigation.
- A colleague described Rana as "socially awkward" but someone who "met the requirements" to stay at the bank.
- Before any lawsuit, he tried to negotiate a payout in the "millions" to leave the bank quietly. they didn't bite.
- He filed court filing, then his lawyers retracted it for "corrections" and deleted it. But the Daily Mail already ran the whole thing and the rest twitter did its thing.
so he tried to get paid, didn't, then filed a now-retracted complaint against someone who couldn't touch his bonus. wild.
feel terrible for her and her family.
Ticketmaster Canada will no longer allow tickets for concerts, sports, and other live events in Ontario to be resold above their original price starting next week.
Ontario’s newly passed Bill 97 caps all resale ticket prices, including fees, service charges, and applicable taxes.
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani says the Warner Bros & Paramount merger should be stopped:
“This merger is bad for New Yorkers 3 times over. Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And 2 of America’s most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear.
Today, as Warner Bros. and Paramount shareholders vote, New York City is on record: this merger should be stopped.”
Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players. Starting today, we’re dropping the price from $29.99 to $22.99/month.
Future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch (about a year later). Current Call of Duty titles will remain available to Ultimate subscribers.
We’ll keep learning and evolving Game Pass to better match what matters to players.
