@m08734471 @WindowsCentral Of course. It's given software must change to stay alive.

@jwk6 @WindowsCentral You realize of course not all updates are security updates, right? You realize of course some updates actually create vulnerabilities, right?

Microsoft confirms that it WILL let users postpone updates indefinitely on Windows 11. For over a decade, Windows has been heavy handed about ensuring users install updates as soon as possible, but those days are coming to an end. Later this year, Windows 11 users will have the option to pause updates for as long as they like. Currently, Windows 11 will only let you pause updates for a maximum of 5 weeks, at which point it will force you to install the latest available updates. This will no longer be the case soon, with users being allowed to choose to pause an update forever if they wish. windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@marcusash @JenMsft Great news! @JenMsft is awesome!

Many of you know @JenMsft. She has been *instrumental* in shaping the work we are committing to do in synthesizing a whole lotta of feedback. She is my key partner in ramping and in taking WIP forward. Expect to see and hear more from us as a team. Thank you Jen for all you do in keeping us grounded in the voice of our customers. 🙏🏽

@xoofx @_h0x0d_ Intern did it?

A very old request (March 2015) to split the .NET gc.cpp into smaller files just got merged github.com/dotnet/runtime… 🎉

@MattBuzzby @BattlPULSE On consoles I think you press up on the d-pad. Kinda dumb that it's not the same button/key though.

@BattlPULSE Still now way to ping enemies while driving vehicles.

@JezCorden Exclusivity is a lie. Look at the mobile phone game market. And look at smaller game studios. e.g. atomrpg.com You deliver games to all platforms for a reason. Eyeballs. Without eyeballs your game (software, service, book, music, art, etc.) may as well not exist.

Should Xbox have exclusive games?

@kellabyte I love my Autonomous ErgoChair Pro. It's not a large chair, but it very comfortable on the ass. It also reclines! Perfect for leaning back and gaming.

I could use some office chair advice. I got Libernovo Omni recently but my butt is sore after 15mins and after an hour I need to swap it out it’s just not comfortable. I’m pretty small Heard a lot of polarizing reviews about Herman Miller Embody. Some say back of chair hurts?

@XboxGamePass The Outlook app on Xbox?? Does it have LLMs too? That's exactly what gamers want. 😏

Something v cool is coming soon...

@matvelloso @davidfowl Proof that we never needed detailed specs in the first place??

The most impressive change that AI caused is that now engineers are writing detailed specs

@Daniel_Rubino Linux fans should use the playbook of Atheists. Instead they behave like Jehovah's witnesses. 😏

That 1% of Linux users ... One of the weirdest things about running a site focusing on Windows is the number of Linux users who like to chime in about switching to Linux in the comments. 🤔I respect the game, but two things always come to mind when I see it happen: 1. They're in a cult and are trying to recruit new members. (kidding, but not really) Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see Windows users trolling Linux sites (are there any?) about switching to Windows. I assume this is because we're just living our lives and not loading up and troubleshooting the latest Linux distro, or arguing with other Linux nerds about which distro is better, or trying to get our Wi-Fi to work. Again, maybe I'm wrong, I dunno, I've never even visited a Linux site or forum. 2. They still use Windows. This is the only other explanation that I can find as to why they hang around a site called, you know, WINDOWS CENTRAL, because they know they have to use it still for something because Linux fails them somewhere, or it's required of them for work (developers, etc.). Maybe it's like checking in on your ex to see how their loser new relationship is going, And hey, if you're using Linux and are happy, all the power to you! Seriously. But my feeling is Windows users don't think about Linux at all, but Linux users can't get Windows users out of their head. I dunno explain it to me.

@BFBulletin The bugs and one new map in 3 months will look great!

#Battlefield6 will support the upgraded version of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) on the PlayStation 5 Pro. PSSR is an AI library that analyzes game images pixel by pixel as it upscales them. The system update is expected to be released globally to PlayStation 5 Pro players sometime in March.

@majornelson By far my Windows PC.

Question: other than your smart phone, what’s the most useful modern day tech device you own ?

@WindowsCentral People just like to complain relentlessly, and bitch about things they don't even try to understand.

😤Community reacts: New Windows 11 Start menu? Windows 11’s new Start menu is rolling out and the community reaction is… not great. (Shocker. People complain on the internet.) Users say it adds clutter, removes control, and brings back the same frustrations they’ve had since launch. Some like the cleaner layout, but most are wondering why Microsoft keeps changing things that weren’t broken. (1/2)

@erikdarlingdata I'm just teasing. Making fun of the "what for the first service pack before we deploy" bullshit. This is the first I've heard of it, and I'm trying it today.

@jwk6 I suppose if no one uses it this will be the last CU. So you’d be safe.

If you were waiting for CU1 before testing out my new free SQL Server monitoring tool, here it is: github.com/erikdarlingdat…

@QuatoofCapital You can use the Files app in the mean time, but it costs a few bucks. You'll likely not go back to File Explorer until Microsoft starts enhancing it. files.community

Has anyone figured out how to stop Windows Explorer from "grouping' files so it's impossible to find anything? You can manually ungroup them, but then they're grouped when you look at the same folder 2 minute later.

@BethesdaStudios Seriously. No one gives a fuck about the creation storage expansion. Fix the bugs so people can play the goddamn content.

An update has gone out for Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition on PlayStation 4 that addresses missing DLC. For those on console interested in the Creation Storage expansion, we'll have more details to share in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience.

@majornelson Roger Wilco is coming back! 😉

Where is everyone going to after Discord?

@JenMsft Same here. Never mind those silly people.

"Video games are a waste of your time" I only have one life and I want to spend it doing things I enjoy

@Daniel_Rubino You won't ever go back.

@jwk6 I have yet to even try Workspaces lol, but will make it a point to

Eh, Collections in Microsoft Edge were OK a few years ago, but I haven't touched 'em in forever, and it makes sense to get rid of them. Did any of you use them? windowscentral.com/software-apps/…
