To illustrate how Windows’ importance within the company has been overtaken, let’s look at some financial data.

Windows Latest obtained exclusive first-look images of Lenovo's Project Swan, an unannounced ThinkBook laptop with a horizontally expanding display. The photos show a shortened, centered hinge and a rear panel consistent with the rail mechanism used on the Legion Pro Rollable.

March Rogers explains why Windows 11 won't get more transparency controls, citing usability, accessibility, and a developer community already filling the gap with Windhawk. Windows actually did glass effects first with Vista's Aero back in 2007, before Microsoft dropped them in Windows 8.

Microsoft is backing down on OneDrive Photos, and you'll soon be able to remove it without also removing the OneDrive sync client.

Microsoft is shutting down Microsoft Publisher on October 1, 2026, and it's now reminding everyone that it's finally time to move.

Windows 11's Weather app is actually MSN Weather, a WebView2 web wrapper that uses over 1.2GB of RAM sitting idle, nearly 5x what Apple's native Weather app uses on macOS. It also shows ads styled to blend in with real forecast data, on an OS you already paid good money for.

Microsoft told Windows Latest that it accidentally shipped the AI-powered OneDrive Photos app on Windows 11 more broadly than it should have.

Asked if Microsoft could make Windows run faster, Scott Hanselman replied, "Yep. On it." Windows 11 is getting speed gains from RAM optimization, the Low Latency Profile CPU boost, and a shift to WinUI, alongside ad removal from Search, Widgets, and the Photos app.

Microsoft is done with Windows 10 LTSC holdouts, tells them to just upgrade to Windows 11 already, ahead of end of life.

Microsoft's new adaptive hibernate policy in Windows 11 Insider builds hibernates less above 80% battery for faster resumes, and sooner below 10% to protect what's left. It's part of a months-long effort to fix Modern Standby's overnight battery drain, alongside a new driver initiative.

Microsoft now says it's adding a new AI-powered feature called "Explain This," which will generate contextual explanations.

If you have a Dell PC, Microsoft's Windows 11 update may have broken it, causing shutdowns, performance, and power issues.

Windows 11's out-of-box setup is packed with forced updates, ad-heavy promo pages for Microsoft 365 and Xbox Game Pass, and a mandatory Microsoft account sign-in with no local account option.

Copilot is coming directly to the Outlook Inbox via a new "Wrap up your day" feature, and it can't be turned off directly.

Windows Latest obtained three leaked marketing images of an unannounced Lenovo laptop with file names pointing to "Aeroblade." The side profile shows a blade-thin chassis, flatter keyboard keys, and a raised pod housing the USB-C ports, hinting at Lenovo's thinnest ThinkBook yet.
