I uninstalled Windows 11’s worst app, the 2GB RAM-eating WhatsApp, and the website does...
A year after Meta killed the native app, WhatsApp's WebView2 wrapper still lags. I tested WhatsApp Web, the Edge-installed web app (579.6MB hiding behind a 2.5MB entry), Smart Connect streaming at 83.5MB and Telegram at 340.1MB, and asked why Meta can't build a native app.
Windows 10 had it, but Microsoft says it’s never coming back to Windows 11...
Windows 11 lets you move the taskbar from Settings, and Microsoft says that's intentional. We revisit Tali Roth's reflow explanation, the hidden Left/Top/Right/Bottom menu in testing, and why power users and Windows 10 holdouts deserve more weight than internal metrics give them.
“Without AI slop”: Microsoft says AI built a Windows 11 feature, and it just...
Marcus Ash says Diego Baca had a working prototype of the Quick Settings speed test within a day. In our tests, it matched phone results in under 30 seconds. With WinUI finally gaining tables and charts and legacy dialogs moving over, Clipchamp, Weather and Teams deserve to be next in line.
What really happens when you hold the power button to force shut down your...
Microsoft says crash dumps aren't collected unless you send Optional diagnostic data, but Required data still flags the long press itself. Here's what the Diagnostics & feedback page, Kernel-Power Event ID 41, and Microsoft's little-known 0x1C8 bug check with its "release the power button" screen reveal.
Microsoft killed Android apps on Windows 11, but they’re back in taskbar Search, streamed...

Windows 11 is full of web apps eating 1GB+ RAM because Microsoft neglected WinUI,...
Microsoft promised a DataGrid and charts for WinUI at Build 2026. TableView, Chart and InkCanvas are now in an experimental Windows App SDK release, almost five years after third-party vendors started selling these controls for WinUI. Here’s what each one does and what’s still missing.
Tested: Windows 11’s 2026 feature update is just 174KB, but your PC still needs...
Windows 11 24H2, 25H2 and 26H2 share one servicing branch, so 26H2 is a tiny master switch for up-to-date PCs. Windows 11 23H2 is on the older 22H2/23H2 branch, so it needs a full OS swap built on a 5.3GB base image, and 23H2 Enterprise support ends on November 10.
Microsoft explains why Task Manager freezes right when you need it most on Windows...
Microsoft's own docs say Task Manager's ancestor ran at high priority to respond under any load, but Raymond Chen says priority can't help a thread stuck waiting on a lock, a slow network file or Windows' UI system. Here's what AutoBoost, focus boosts and QoS can and can't do.
Windows 11’s faster, customizable right-click menu released, enable it right now using these steps
I tested the new File Explorer context menu on my daily PC, and it opens instantly with just eight items by default. Settings now let you add Print, Send to and Copy as path, move Ask Copilot or Clipchamp in or out of the main menu, show Cut and Copy inline, and hide the legacy menu.
