🪟Windows 11 May update on the 12th looks like a GOOD one!
The May 2026 Windows 11 update is one of those releases that looks small on the surface but ends up changing how you use the OS every day.
We walk through 11 new changes that you'll want to look out for when it starts rolling out.
From our Windows expert Mauro:
"I walked away from the May 2026 Windows 11 update feeling like Microsoft finally struck the right balance between useful upgrades and everyday polish.
Xbox mode is the feature that grabbed me first because it genuinely makes my PC feel like a console when I want it to. File Explorer feels faster, folder views are finally consistent, and the expanded archive support saves me from installing extra tools.
Even the small touches, like smarter Taskbar AI and tighter driver rules, make the OS feel more intentional. It is not a flashy update, but as I tested everything, I kept noticing little improvements that add up." (1/2)

@cybercpu @WindowsCentral Seven years later, they still can't fix the control panel bug you're talking about. They couldn't fix it and decided to simply create a new version of the taskbar in K2.

Are you sure that they don't want to and don't listen to their users? Because regardless of their faults Microsoft is doing a massive rework of Windows 11 directly because of complaints from users. They're optimizing the UI and making a bunch of massive changes.
So they're currently, right now, In the process of doing what you're criticizing them for not doing.

@cybercpu @WindowsCentral And a person who had no money created Linux without all that money, and most importantly, the Linux kernel is open source, while Windows isn't because they want a monopoly.

@dylanweenter @WindowsCentral What gets me is how hyper critical Linux users are about Windows while being very uncritical about issues in Linux. Linux can be littered with bugs and it's cool but one tiny detail in Windows isn't working right and it's the end of the world.

@ainda_humano @TheGalox_ In idle 2-2.5 GB, this is the official Windows, just cut down; there are builds right on the official website.

@dylanweenter @TheGalox_ Amigo, tenho interesse nesta versão.
Quanto de Ram atualmente seu windows consome?
Eu otimizei o maximo Aqui e continua com 3.5 gb sem fazer nada

👀 Todo apunta a que próximamente el menú de Propiedades del Explorador de Archivos dará el salto a WinUI 3.
Hace no mucho tiempo, nos habríamos puesto a temblar al oír esto. Sin embargo, tras ver el gran trabajo que Microsoft ha hecho con el cuadro de Ejecutar...
ADELANTE 💪🏼

The MicrosoftWindows.Client.FileExp (modern FE) resources.pri had a bunch of strings for "DeletedFileProperties" added to it in recent Insider builds, the same strings in the existing deleted file properties dialog. Revamped WinUI 3 file properties dialogs soon? 👀

@ainda_humano @TheGalox_ I'm thinking of upgrading to either 10 or switching to Mint. I currently have the LTS version of Windows 11, where everything that can be cut down is

@dylanweenter @TheGalox_ I guess returning to a windows 10 aprouch would be so much better. I don't get it microsclop is worried about widgets

@RaxRazing Yuno's stone fits perfectly into Asta's sword hole, but for some reason the mangaka didn't reveal this to us.

@ZoranTheWizard I would have installed Linux a long time ago if I could play CS 2 normally. Yes, I have Proton, but it doesn’t work well for these games

@eugenio8a8 I have a 5070 ti and I had freezes and lags. Does this mean it's old? I think Valve has completely lost their minds and couldn't do proper optimization.

@PolymarketCS2 Better delete Train, it's the least optimized card. It's literally terrible.

@XenoPanther You need to reflash the BIOS and install Windows again. This was the only thing that helped me, although my memory wasn't detected at all, even through a separate motherboard on another PC
English

For some reason, Windows thinks I don't have any storage and has a device with 2 touch points

@WindowsCentral Should you trust Microsoft, which tracks every fart of a user? This is something you should really think about.

Frustrated Windows 11 users are searching for "debloater" scripts to remove pre-installed apps, and the trend has expanded to customized .ISOs that offer a cleaner OS at installation.
AtlasOS, FoxOS, ReviOS, and GGOS — the scene is bigger than you think, but it comes with caveats.
Should you trust them, and is it worth "debloating" Windows in the first place?
