The proposed module may not sound very fancy compared to the latest PowerToys improvements. Still, it will be a great addition for Windows users who want to customize calendar settings, namely the first week rule and the first day of week rule. In other words, PowerToys will let you select which week qualifies as the first of the year (the first day, the first full week, or the first four-day week) and which day of the week is the first one.

Here is a scenario in which the new Date and Time module will come in handy:

My current culture (for Windows) is set to en-US, but I live and work in the Netherlands.

 

In the Netherlands the FirstDayOfWeek is Monday (I can change this in my regional settings and will be picked up by the plugin)

 

But the CalenderWeekRule in the Netherlands is FirstFourDayWeek (unlike en-US where it is FirstDay), and I have no way to alter this in my regional settings.

 

So now on my system when asking for the current week number I get a "wrong" (according to Dutch rules) week number.

You can track the process of the Date and Time module development on GitHub. Note that it might take a while before the new utility arrives in a new PowerToys update.

PowerToys is available for free in the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and 11. You can also get it from GitHub or winget using the "winget install powertoys" command.

The app will add the new Generate Image function this week, which will allow users to have control over AI-made images in PDF files. The feature will also let users adjust both the style and size of an AI-made image so they can fit in a PDF document.

In addition, the new Edit Image feature will let users access the Generative Fill, Remove Background, Erase, and Crop functions in the Firefly model. Users can edit images in PDF files so they can remove unneeded objects, or get rid of backgrounds and more.

In addition to the new AI-based image features, more functions are being added to Acrobat AI Assistant. One of them will allow users to find specific themes and trends from a number of different documents and sources. Users can drag all that content into Acrobat AI Assistant, which can then format that information. The new feature will include adding citations so people can know where the information in the document comes from. Users will also be able to go to a specific source for more information.

Adobe AI Assistant is also adding a way to generate summaries of meetings. The feature will offer fast access to a meeting's main topics and action items.

Earlier this year, Adobe added more AI-based features to some of its other software products. They included a new version of Photoshop with more advanced AI image generation functions, A few weeks ago, the Adobe Lightroom app added the general availability of Lens Blur, along with early access to Generative Remove.

For those not familiar, new Debian versions come out every two years and receive normal security updates for three years. They are then shifted to the long-term support branch, where they are supported by another team for a further two years. That’s the phase that’s ending now for Debian 10.

You have two options if you want to stay on Debian: you can either jump to Debian 11, in which case, you’ll need to do another update in two years, or you can go to Debian 12 and upgrade again in 2028 – if you don’t like messing around with your system, this seems like the best option. If you choose to do an in-place upgrade, you may need to upgrade through Debian 11 and then to 12.

In the announcement made about the upcoming end of life, the Debian Project said:

“The Debian LTS Team will prepare afterwards the transition to Debian 11 bullseye, the current oldstable release. Thanks to the combined effort of different teams including the Security Team, the Release Team, and the LTS Team, the Debian 11 life cycle will also encompass five years. To make the life cycle of Debian releases easier to follow, the related Debian teams have agreed on the following schedule: three years of regular support plus two years of Long Term Support. The LTS Team will take over support from the Security and the Release Teams on August 14, 2024, three years after the initial release on August 14, 2021. The final point update release for bullseye will be published soon after the final Debian 11 Security Advisory (DSA) will be issued.

 

Debian 11 will receive Long Term Support until August 31, 2026. The supported architectures remain amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf.”

If you are on Debian 10 and need to upgrade, you can find out how to do that on the Debian Wiki, which has full instructions.

After mocking Windows Blue Screens of Death for decades, it seems that Linux fanboys actually wanted one—and now Linux 6.10 will finally bring them one.

For all the mock, the Blue Screen of Death did have its uses for Linux especially when building a kernel without VT/FBCON support where viewing the kernel panic message was not easily available

After being talked about for years of DRM panic handling and coming with a "Blue Screen of Death" solution for DRM/KMS drivers, Linux 6.10 is introducing a new DRM panic handler infrastructure for being able to display a message when a panic occurs.

According to Phoronix, the initial DRM Panic code has landed, as has wiring up the DRM/KMS driver support for the SimpleDRM, MGAG200, IMX, and AST drivers.

Work is underway on extending DRM Panic support to other drivers, which will appear over coming kernel cycles for more widespread support.

For those curious about what DRM Panic can look like in action, Red Hat engineer Javier Martinez Canillas shared a photo of the DRM Panic "Blue Screen of Death". A BeaglePlay single-board computer was used, and Javier posted to Mastodon an example implementation.

It's simple and to the point. In the future, some operating systems could extend it by using QR codes for kernel error messages and other efforts to present more technical information while still being user-friendly.

On Linux 6.10+ platforms with the DRM Panic driver support, this "Blue Screen of Death" functionality can be tested via a route such as echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger.

Now, while Apple is openly mocking Microsoft for its misfired launch, the software giant is making improvements for Recall.

Albacore (@thebookisclosed on X) discovered several Recall improvements in the latest Windows 11 Canary build, 26236.5000. For starters, pressing Win + Shift + D launches a new Screenray utility that lets you quickly analyze what is on the screen and get translations, extra insights from Copilot, and more.

Image source: Tom's Hardware

Recall's home page received a redesign, with the biggest change being a new Topic section with snapshots arranged in a grid-style list. Now, Windows 11 opens a new home page instead of creating a new snapshot when you open Recall, which was a bit counter-intuitive. However, there is still a button to create a new snapshot right here, right now.

Image source: Tom's Hardware

Each analyzed snapshot gets its tag, which you can then find in the Topics section. You will also be able to assign custom tags to your snapshot collections and filter search results by apps.

Image source: Tom's Hardware

Another addition to Recall is a better integration of Copilot, which was rather strangely missing in the initial version. Clicking anything on a snapshot will bring a menu with various features, such as describing an image, finding similar pictures, creating similar pictures, copying, and launching other apps.

Image source: Tom's Hardware

For now, all that Recall stuff is hidden inside Windows 11 preview builds. Microsoft plans to give Insiders access to Recall in the near future, but you will be required to own a Copilot+ PC. Those with older ARM64 will have to use third-party hacks to get the feature working.

The rollout however had been paused due to some issues though information about that was not made public. Earlier today, the company resumed the rollout again for those on the Release preview channel.

Alongside that, Microsoft has also published Windows 11 version 24H2 (a.k.a. Windows 11 2024 update) as generally available for Copilot+ PCs. Here's what Microsoft writes in the support article for the update:

Important: Windows 11, version 24H2 is only available for Copilot+ PCs devices.

The update is available under KB5039239 and build 26100.863. The full changelog is given below:

Highlights

If you use the OneDrive cloud storage server and access files on your web browser, you should see a better search experience later in June:

We've added new filters for different file types, ensuring you can pinpoint exactly what you're looking for and with the date filter, you can narrow down your search results to find files created or modified within a specific timeframe. We understand that searching within a folder or document library is important to you, and for that, we have simplified scoping options that will enable precise searches within folders, sites, or document libraries. We've also visually updated the interface with more metadata, ensuring you effortlessly identify the right files every time.

If you use your Outlook email client on your Mac, you should soon be able to access Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant. Starting in July, Outlook Mac users can access Copilot via the left app bar.

Users of Microsoft Teams on the desktop and Mac will be getting some new features during the month of July. One of them concerns the Teams discovery feed:

You will now have the flexibility to show or hide (turn off/turn on) discover feed. Users can access this new toggle from the general settings section.

Another additional function concerns searching for answers in Teams messages:

You will now see message result suggestions when formulating a query. You can also narrow down search results to "messages" helping you quickly find Teams message content most relevant for you.

Microsoft will also add a way for desktop and Mac Teams users to turn notifications for a post in a channel on or off in July.

Word users for the desktop, Mac and on the web will get some Copilot summary improvements later in June:

Copilot in Word will be able to completely summarize documents that it could only partially summarize before. The upper limit is increasing to about four times more words.

Microsoft will also add a Word feature for Mac, Desktop, the web, and iOS versions in June that will let users "reference PDF files for Copilot to work with while generating content in Word."

That's all for this week's look back at the Microsoft 365 Roadmap. We will be back next Sunday to see what new entries have been added to the roadmap website.

The problem appears to have been first reported by PradeepSG on the Microsoft forum. They wrote:

Folders Shared with me are syncing as internet shortcut in OneDrive on Windows PC

 

Hi. I had some folders shared from different users in my OneDrive account. I had added the folders to my OneDrive with Add Shortcut to OneDrive button from Shared folders in cloud. The account is logged into a windows pc and every files including the folders shared with my were syncing fine until yesterday. Yesterday night the shared folders were completely removed from the Windows pc and folders are replaced with internet shortcut. .... I have tried unlinking the account and linking it back, changing the location of OneDrive on my windows pc and tried to get a new folder shared to my account and adding it to OneDrive. Nothing works so far.

This query has been upvoted by 240 others at the time of writing indicating that the problem is quite widespread. Here is another one of such posts published by a user נדב שביט which has also been upvoted by 50 others at the time of writing.

Another user kaydee8888 who also faced the same issue was able to figure out a workaround too:

I have my One Drive account for several years. I have my main account signed in on my laptop. I have 4 other users sharing their folder with edit access to my main account. I add them as short cut to my main account. In the past, on my laptop, they function as folders. Meaning, I can move, delete, add files and they essentially function as a folder. Now, all my shared folder from my other users suddenly becomes short cut. When I open the folder, it brings me to the browser for me to sign in and view them.

 

Edit Update: I am able to fix this by logging into One Drive with my other user account. Seems like not all accounts are affected only some. I know its not a fixed but at least a temporary solution.

Hence, it seems whatever the bug is, it does not affect all accounts the same way as the user was able to sign in via a different account to access shared folders. This is also evident from some of the responses to these threads.

Here is how it appears, courtesy of Denny Rosyadi on the Microsoft support forum:

Interestingly, a user on the Feedback Hub suggests Microsoft might allegedly be removing the option altogether. The user claims that they were informed about this change by "customer support." The user Richie V writes:

onedrive shared folder shortcut on personal accounts

 

I have been informed by customer support that adding a shared folder shortcut to the "My Files" section is being removed from onedrive personal accounts. This is a big bummer.

Curiously, this was posted a month ago which is prior to when most reports began emerging. However, it also has only a couple of upvotes which means not many people had the same experience. We will have to wait for Microsoft's official word on the matter.

Thanks for the tip, TReKiE!

This month, Windows users and insiders have been noticing something off on their systems and digging into the issue with the help of handy ol' Task Manager has revealed that Microsoft Cross Device Service is the potential culprit that is exhibiting high CPU usage.

These reports were not few and far between though as multiple users have confirmed the issue. Here's a thread on the Microsoft forum started by user leginmat90 which has been upvoted by 46 others at the time of writing. Here's another one on the Windows Eleven forum.

The issue has also been reported to Feedback Hub by a user and at the time of writing, it has been 160 others:

Cross Device Service is suddenly using an unexpected amount of CPU in the latest Windows 11 Insider builds (starting early June 2024)

Microsoft engineer Jennifer G has responded to this issue confirming it and has added that the company is looking into the resolution:

Appreciate your patience, we've identified the cause and are working on a fix

The response was posted a week ago though we are yet to receive the fix.

The Cross Device Service, as the name suggests, is what helps a Windows PC connect to, synchronize, and share files with devices like phones and essentially helps power Phone Link in Windows. The recent Windows 11 Beta Insider builds are testing features related to better Phone Link support, and it's possible that the bug slipped through.

The most recent one brings improved Android file sharing and another one from back in February updated the Cross Device Experience Host which replaced remote capture.

Windows 11 build 26100.863 is a rare Saturday build for Windows Insiders. The update does not have a traditional change log, and the only official word about the release is the following update in the blog post from May 22, 2024:

UPDATE 6/15: We have resumed rollout of Windows 11, version 24H2 to the Release Preview Channel with Build 26100.863

You can update your system to Windows 11 version 24H2 by enlisting your device in the Windows Insider Program in Settings > Windows Update. Public release in the Stable Channel is expected later this year.

This week is a busy one for Windows Insiders. Microsoft released plenty of preview builds, giving users in every channel something to try. The Canary Channel received build 26236 with the new account manager (the same build number is available for Windows Server 2025 testers); the Dev Channel received build 2610.961 with unknown improvements under the hood; the Beta Channel received build 22635.3785 with Start menu updates.

Besides updating Windows 11 preview builds, Microsoft shipped new Insider updates for Windows 10. The now-resurrected Beta Channel for Windows 10 currently offers build 19045.4593 with the Windows Backup app improvements and more.

Another important announcement Microsoft made this week is about Recall, its controversial AI-powered feature for Windows 11 version 24H2. It will no longer be shipped on June 18, and Microsoft plans to test the experience with the help of Windows Insiders with compatible hardware (Copilot+ PCs).

In build 22635.3785, which was recently released in the Beta Channel, Microsoft implemented proper jump lists for apps pinned to the Start. That change is well-documented in the release notes. What was not mentioned is the ability to drag a pinned to the Start app and pin it to the taskbar. It was one of those odd omissions where you can pin apps from the "All apps" list but not from the pinned section. Fortunately, that is now fixed.

Another change in build 22635.3785 hides in the redesigned "All Apps" list. It now properly supports folders, which you can expand or collapse similarly to tile folders in Windows 10.

Microsoft also wants to give you more control over what appears in the notification area. No, you still cannot decouple the battery, volume, and network indicators one from another. What you will be able to do is hide the notification bell icon and display the shortened time and date on the tray clock. For now, none of those two options work, so we have to wait for Microsoft to announce it or at least ship in the hidden but working state.

Speaking of the taskbar, Microsoft recently fixed a nasty bug that was causing all sorts of odd issues with the taskbar. You can read more about it here.

Speaking of seamless upgrades, Microsoft this week published a new blog post on its official Tech Community website busting all the "myths and misconceptions" surrounding Windows 11 upgrades and moving to cloud-based Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). The blog post is aimed at IT and system admins.

A part of that article explains how Windows 11 fundamentally is not much different than 10:

The fact is that Windows 10 to Windows 11 is, by design, the same as a Windows 10 feature update. If you’re like most organizations, feature updates aren’t major projects. Windows 11 is built on Windows 10, even carrying a Windows 10 version number for the highest compatibility. So, you can take a more business-as-usual approach to this upgrade.

 

Windows 11 is built on the same foundation as Windows 10. It’s an evolution that improves upon Windows 10 strengths and addresses its limitations.

And Microsoft has good reason for that too. On the verge of the Windows 11 launch, a large-scale survey showed how most enterprise systems just weren't ready for the new OS due to the harder system requirements, and the situation was not ideal even a year later in 2022.

Harjit Dhaliwal, a Senior Product Marketing Manager of Windows Commercial at Microsoft, who penned the article, says:

Let’s discuss the myths around the move to cloud-native management, with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID, and Windows 11. In this post, we will address some common questions and misconceptions by sharing insights and perspectives gathered from the conversations we’ve had with organizations of all sizes from around the globe this past year.

 

We understand that as an IT pro a big part of your role is to help manage change, and to mitigate risks when implementing those changes. So, when considering a joint move to cloud-native management and keeping up to date with Windows 11, why does the task seem so daunting?

These "misconceptions" have been looked at under several points. Microsoft has dissected each one of them trying to explain to administrators why they need not be concerned about such issues or worries. They are:

• Misconception #1: To deploy Windows 11, you must also go full cloud native.

• Misconception #2: That name change means a bigger change.

• Misconception #3: Application compatibility is a risk when upgrading to Windows 11.

• Misconception #4: The Windows 11 experience change means business productivity will be adversely impacted.

• Misconception #5: Variation in device configuration increases total cost of ownership.

Finally, the meat of the blog post has been summed up by Dhaliwal as follows:

While there are costs and risks associated with either adopting or resisting change, the move from Windows 10 to Windows 11 can be taken with confidence and considered business-as-usual. Indeed, many organizations have already built the muscle to successfully deploy the fourteen Windows 10 semi-annual feature updates to date, and Windows 11 simply represents their next rollout.

 

The management tools, processes, and risk mitigations you have in place will continue to work for your Windows 11 deployment as they are today. Your organization should not be afraid of moving to Windows 11.

Microsoft had once described how its internal rollout process for Windows 11 was its smoothest ever and the company probably wants admins to feel the same way about their own organizations too. Perhaps coincidentally, Microsoft recently announced it will stop force-installing Windows feature updates on managed PCs.

Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you, you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Windows Update. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your device over time once they are ready.

The tech giant later stated that the app was totally harmless and it was not meant for capturing or analysing any user data nor did it run any code in the background.

Today, on its Windows health dashboard website that tracks various WIndows server and client bugs, Microsoft has closed the issue and declared it as "resolved." The company says that the app has been removed from both client and server systems alike and users will no longer find it on their Installed apps list.

Microsoft recommends installing Edge stable version 126.0.2592.56 (the Dev version was released at the end of last month) which was released today. Make sure to restart the browser in case you still see the app after finishing the browser update. The company writes:

Resolution: This issue is now resolved with Edge browser updates released on April 26, 2024, and June 13, 2024. Edge version 124.0.2478.67 was released on April 26 and removed the package ‘Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows’ from all servers affected by this issue. Edge version 126.0.2592.56 was released on June 13, 2024, and removed the same package from all Windows client versions affected by this issue. The ‘Microsoft Copilot’ entry will not show in the Installed apps list in the Settings menu once the Edge browser is updated.

Hence, all you have to do is update to the latest Edge release and you should be good. If you still find the Copilot app on your Installed apps list even after restarting the browser after the update, make sure to restart your Windows as well. If it persists, you should probably file the bug on Feedback Hub.

Never having to miss another meeting sounds pretty sweet. The feature, shared by Ben Cunningham of The Browser Company, was shown in a short demo video (with an interesting background track choice) tucked away in the browser’s sidebar. The video shows a small calendar icon ticking down until the user’s next meeting. Hovering over it brings up more of the calendar, including several more upcoming meetings. Once the meeting is about to start, it pops up below the calendar, where you can now tap on “Join” to go straight to the video call.

Right now, the feature is only available to use with a single calendar that’s specifically chosen in your favorites. However, Arc supports both Zoom and Google Meet for this, so that helps.

said differently: Arc can now abstract any website/app into a set of programmable APIs that let you pull data from them and do actions on them.

combine this with the natural language understanding of LLMs and you have the underpinnings of "a browser that can browse for you"

— Josh Miller (@joshm) June 13, 2024

Perhaps the bigger piece of news comes from Josh Miller, the CEO of The Browser Company, who gave a sneak peek at what the goal is for Arc by referring to the differences between artificial general intelligence and artificial personal intelligence. The former refers to how a chatbot, such as ChatGPT, is taught to respond based on data it was trained on. It understands context at a level comparable to human intelligence — but it doesn’t understand anything outside of the current conversation. However, personal AI draws from what it already knows about you to make your life easier.

“I want my current tools to better understand me. To anticipate my needs. To do work on my behalf. To give me five good minutes back every day,” said Miller.

To that end, it appears that this calendar integration is only the beginning of a larger change for Arc. According to Miller, this feature can be easily expanded to include many more websites and apps in the browser. The calendar feature, for instance, is not powered by the Google API. Miller explains that his team “automatically creates APIs based on structured data from webpages and applications. If you can see it, then we can create an API for it.”

The potential here is huge, as countless websites or apps could begin to work together from one browser without additional work from their developers. This is similar to the kind of thing Apple was aiming for with its AI updates — AI that works to help the user as opposed to the general audience. If you’re interested in checking the feature out, it’s available on Mac in the latest update.

“Informed”, “transparent” and “fair”? Google’s internal browser tracking was introduced to users via a pop-up that said “turn on ad privacy feature” after opening the Chrome browser. In the European Union, users are given the choice to either “Turn it on” or to say “No thanks”, so to refuse consent. In a letter to noyb, Google argued that choosing to click on “Turn it on” would indeed be considered consent to tracking under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In reality, the company concealed the fact that selecting this option would turn on first-party tracking.

Dark patterns. It is no secret that Google has experimented with different wording and interface designs to maximise the consent rates among users. This is done using so-called dark patterns, which are manipulative designs used by companies to trick users, often unlawfully, into agreeing to things they would never otherwise accept.

But this is an extreme case: Google didn’t just change the colour or size of a button, but simply lied to its users. The only logical way to interpret the Privacy Sandbox pop-up shown to users is to think that Google Chrome is now starting to (technically) protect them from ad tracking. This message was even reinforced by the repeated use of words like “protect”, “limit” and “privacy features”, accompanied by misleading imagery.

Max Schems, Honorary Chairman of noyb: “Google has simply lied to its users. People thought they were agreeing to a privacy feature, but were tricked into accepting Google’s first-party ad tracking. Consent has to be informed, transparent and fair to be legal. Google has done the exact opposite.”

Being “less terrible” is not a “privacy feature”. Google main argument is that the new Privacy Sandbox is less invasive than third-party tracking systems. While this may be true, it does not mean that Google can do whatever it wants without complying with European data protection law.

Max Schrems: “If you merely steal less money from people than another thief, you can’t call yourself a ‘wealth protection agent’. But that is basically what Google is doing here.”

Browser now calculates user interests. With its Privacy Sandbox, Google wants to take full control over the analysis of the online behaviour of its users: Chrome now tracks every website you visit to generate a list of advertising topics. These include “Student Loans & College Financing”, “Undergarments” or “Parenting”, “Jobs & Education” and “Finance/Credit & Lending/Credit Reporting & Monitoring”.

Advertisers then receive this information from the Chrome browser.

Max Schrems: “People are increasingly critical of the fact that big tech companies are making billions from invasive ad tracking technologies. Instead of actually improving the situation, Google is responding with a kind of unlawful ‘privacy washing’ by introducing a new tracking system.”

Complaint filed. Article 4(11) of the GDPR clearly states that consent must, among other things, be a “specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes”. Given the highly misleading pop-up banner, the complainant had no way of knowing that he was actually consenting to the processing of his data for targeted advertising. Instead, he was led to believe that Google would protect his personal data. This means that Google clearly didn’t meet the requirements for free consent under the GDPR. noyb is asking the Austrian DPA to order Google to bring its processing operations into compliance with the GDPR, to stop the processing of data collected on the basis of invalid consent, and to inform the data recipients that they must stop processing this data. Last but not least, noyb proposes that the authority impose an effective, proportionate and dissuasive fine.

Speaking of MSA, the company also published another page that guides users on how to switch from a Local to a Microsoft Account. However, since that last update, the company has added a new section that describes the opposite—switching from a Microsoft Account (MSA) to a local one.

Despite this, Microsoft says that it still recommends an MSA over a local account with a separate section that has since been added to this page. In the new section, it explains the differences between the two and the benefits an MSA has over a local account. Microsoft writes:

Important: Microsoft recommends using a Microsoft account, not a local account, when signing in to Windows. Using a Microsoft account in Windows allows for seamless integration of Microsoft services, enhanced security, and sync across devices, unlike a local account.

 

[..]

 

The main difference between a local account and a Microsoft account is that a local account is specific to one device, while a Microsoft account can be used across multiple devices and Microsoft services.

 

• A local account is created on the device and doesn't require Internet connectivity to sign in. It's independent of other services, and it's not connected to the cloud. Your settings, files, and applications are limited to that single device
• A Microsoft account, on the other hand, is associated to an email address and password that you use with Outlook.com, Hotmail, Office, OneDrive, Skype, Xbox, and Windows. When you sign in to your PC with a Microsoft account, you’re connected to a Microsoft cloud service, and your settings and files can sync across various devices. You can also use it to access other Microsoft services

Microsoft's official guide about switching from an MSA to a local account is given below:

You can use the Settings app to switch your Microsoft account to a local account.

 

Important: Microsoft recommends using a Microsoft account, not a local account, when signing in to Windows. Using a Microsoft account in Windows allows for seamless integration of Microsoft services, enhanced security, and sync across devices, unlike a local account.

 

• In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Accounts > Your info, or use the following shortcut:

   

  Your info

   

• Select Sign in with a local account instead. You'll see this link only if you're using a Microsoft account

• Type the username, password, and password hint. The username must be different than any others on the device

• Select Next, then select Sign out and finish. Sign back in with your new local account

   

You can view the support page here on Microsoft's official website.

Aside from these guides, the company has also published a couple of support pages related to the requirements of certain Windows 11 AI features. These include one for the Paint Cocreator and another for AutoSR.

Microsoft has also announced that Windows 10 version 21H2 has reached the end of servicing status. The company had published a reminder for the same 30 days ago. In its announcement, the company says that Windows will initiate an automatic update to version 22H2 and as always, it has also reiterated about updating to Windows 11 on eligible PCs.

Microsoft writes:

As of June 11, 2024, Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 21H2 have reached end of servicing. The June 2024 security update, released on June 11, 2024, is the last update available for this version. After this date, devices running this version will no longer receive monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats.

 

To help keep you protected and productive, Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update for Windows 10 business devices not managed by IT departments when these are at, or within several months of reaching, end of servicing. Moving to Windows 10, version 22H2 keeps your device supported and receiving monthly updates that are critical to security and ecosystem health.

 

As always, we recommend that you upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11.

In addition to these, Microsoft has also reminded us about the differences between LTSC and non-LTSC as it has clarified that Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC 2021 will continue to have mainstream support till January of 2027 with the latter having an extended end of support scheduled for 2032.

The full changelog is given below:

For Windows Insiders on Windows 10 in the Beta Channel, we’re beginning to roll out the following improvements:

[Search on the Taskbar]

 

• We’re made some fixes to improve the overall stability of searching for apps in the search box on the taskbar.

 

[Windows Backup]

 

• You will be able to seamlessly backup and restore personalization preferences of Activity History and Printer Device Settings that are not hardware or accessory dependent such as “Let Windows manager my default printer” and “Store my activity history on this device”. The goal is to ensure that the most used preferences of these settings are backed up, while avoiding those that are tied to specific hardware, to facilitate a seamless transition to a new PC.
• We are making some important bug fixes to enhance the backup and restore functionality. As part of this work, the issue causing backup failures when desktop and lock screen backgrounds were backed up twice has been resolved.

 

Insiders in the Beta Channel on Windows 10 who want to be the first to get features gradually rolled out to you can turn ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available via Settings > Updated & Security > Windows Update. Over time, we will increase the rollouts of features to everyone with the toggle turned on. Should you keep this toggle off, new features will gradually be rolled out to your device over time once they are ready.

This update includes the following features and improvements for Windows Insiders in BOTH the Beta and Release Preview Channels:

• This update addresses an issue that affects MSIX applications. When you install them from an HTTPS URI, they fail to open. This issue occurs when the download of the application is not complete. This damages the package.
• This update affects mobile device management (MDM). When you enroll a device, the MDM client sends more details about the device. The MDM service uses those details to identify the device model and the company that made it.
• This update addresses an issue that affects the default Japanese Input Method Editor (IME). The candidate window stops responding when you do not expect it. Then, it goes back to a former composition state at random.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Direct Composition batched presentations. A brief flash of triangles or boxes show on the screen. This issue affects browsers, like Microsoft Edge, and other apps.
• This update brings Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.
• This update addresses an issue that might stop your system from resuming from hibernate. This occurs after you turn on BitLocker.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC). The issue copies unsigned WDAC policies to the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) disk partition. It is reserved for signed policies.
• This update addresses an issue that affects an app’s jump list on the taskbar. Completing actions from that list might fail. A jump list is a menu that appears when you right-click an app on the taskbar or Start menu. It gives you quick access to recently or frequently used app items.
• This update addresses an issue that affects a folder context menu. When you choose the command that removes items, the command adds items instead. This occurs when a third-party service implements a sync feature.

Note that any of the new features listed with an asterisk below will be released gradually for those Release Preview Insider members. Here is the changelog.

• * New! We are advancing the Copilot experience on Windows. It is now pinned to the taskbar and will behave like an app. This gives you the benefits of a typical app experience. For example, you can do things like resize, move, and snap the window.
• * New! This update adds a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings home page. This home page shows on Home and Pro editions when you sign in to Windows using your Microsoft account. The card appears if you actively play games on your PC.
• * New! The show desktop button is on the taskbar again by default. To change this, right-click the taskbar and choose Taskbar settings. At the lower part of the page, you will find Taskbar behaviors.
• * New! This update affects File Explorer. You can now create 7-Zip and Tape Archive (TAR) files using the context menu. When you right-click a file, a Compress to item gives you ways to compress a file using tools like gzip, bzip2, and more. There is also a new compression wizard in Additional options. It will help you choose more formats and add details. You can use different types of compression to add many files to archives in other TAR formats. You can also change the compression level and choose the types of data to store in each archive.
• * New! This update adds support for Emoji 15.1. Windows supports Unicode symbol-like shapes for family groupings. But Windows will keep using people for them. Also, you can choose the right or left facing direction for some people emoji. The new emoji are:
  • Horizontal and vertical head shake
  • Phoenix
  • Lime
  • Brown mushroom
  • Broken chain 48617543
• * New! You can now copy files from the Windows Share window. Just click the new Copy
• * New! This update affects OneDrive. You can now use it as a RemoteApp in Azure Virtual Desktop.
• * This update changes the units for DDR speed from MHz to MT/s.
• * This update addresses an issue that affects USB devices. Ejecting them using the Safely Remove Hardware option fails. This occurs when Task Manager is open.
• * This update affects process handles. Task Manager releases them more quickly when it stops a process.
• * This update makes Task Manager more reliable.
• * This update affects the sort order of processes in Task Manager. Performance is better when you change the order.

  • The readout of item names by screen readers
  • High contrast heatmaps and more.
• * This update makes resizing the Task Manager window easier when you grab the top of its window.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Group Policy. It fails to detect when a network’s speed is slow. Instead, it assumes that a fast link is present.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). When you use them with SMBdirect in your networks, the networks fail. You also lose the ability to manage clusters.
• This update addresses an issue that affects GPUs. They do not enter the idle state that stops them from consuming power.
• This update adds the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM ForceDisableModeChangeAnimation (REG_DWORD). When you set its value to 1 (or a non-zero number), it turns off the display mode change animation. If the value is 0 or the key does not exist, the animation is set to on.
• This update brings Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) profiles up to date for certain mobile operators.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Snipping Tool. When you use it to record videos on some PCs, the audio has distortions.
• This update addresses an issue that affects Azure Virtual Desktop sessions. A deadlock stops you from signing in to them.

Now, thanks to a new third-party mod, you can finally have your taskbar placed on the left.

Moving Windows 11's taskbar from its traditional place is possible thanks to a new Windhawk module fittingly called "Vertical Taskbar for Windows 11." It is open-source and available for free on the official Windhawk website (via Deskmodder). To make it work, you need to download Windhawk and then install the mod itself. After that, the taskbar will move to the right, giving you more vertical space for your content (you can find the wallpaper below here).

It is worth noting that the mod is not perfect. It has a few interesting quirks. The system tray and app badges are rotated 90 degrees (get ready to twist your head to the right to check time), the Start menu still pops at the middle of the screen, windows fly upward when minimizing or restoring, and jump lists appear in random places. Also, it is not compatible with other taskbar mods and you cannot move the taskbar to the right.

The mod was just released, so maybe some improvements will arrive in future updates. For now, users will have to settle for this rather crude but still working version.

According to the official description, the mod works with Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2. There is no information on whether it works with Windows 11 version 21H2 or the upcoming Windows 11 version 24H2, which, as we know, is not very friendly to some UI customization apps.

Microsoft, just let us move the taskbar already!
