1+ day, 6+ hour ago (900+ words) It’s a popular myth that 32-bit Windows is limited to 4GB of RAM because a 32-bit address can only represent 2^32 combinations, which works out to 4GB. This is one of those things that sound true until you look at the history of…...

5+ day, 18+ hour ago (422+ words) If you’ve set up Bing-powered wallpapers on Windows 11 (and Windows 10), you might see a full-fledged advertisement for J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter + Fantastic Beasts 11-film collection. And if you haven’t seen it yet, the ad doesn’t appear to be showing up…...

Windows 95's Start menu was invented by a chimpanzee-lab psychologist: 'Even a rocket scientist couldn't figure out Windows"
1+ week, 5+ day ago (655+ words) When someone on X posts a picture of their new 5K Dell UltraSharp monitor, worth more than $2000, you would expect questions about the picture quality. But not for Dave Plummer, a former Microsoft engineer. A user saw that his Windows 11 taskbar…...
Microsoft extended Windows 10, but Nvidia just made the extension meaningless for gamers
1+ week, 5+ day ago (456+ words) Windows 10 is fully supported until October 2027 as part of Extended Security Updates (ESU), which makes sense given that 3 in 10 PCs still run the “retired” OS. But it’ll eventually become difficult to keep using it, specifically for gaming, as Nvidia is…...
Windows 11's faster, Bing-free Search released, enable it using these steps
1+ week, 6+ day ago (809+ words) The August optional update brought some of the most requested changes Windows 11 has ever shipped, and the new Search, without Bing and Copilot results, is my favorite of the bunch. However, for most users, it will not turn on immediately....
Why Windows stopped including fun games like Minesweeper, Solitaire, and Pinball
1+ week, 6+ day ago (431+ words) If you installed Windows in the 1990s or 2000s, you did not need Steam, the Microsoft Store, or even an internet connection to find something to play.

2+ week, 2+ hour ago (440+ words) Microsoft had a change of heart, and it appears to be sending a full-screen alert to people who were pushed into syncing files to OneDrive when they first set up their PC or clean-installed Windows 11. The company has also dropped…...
Windows 11 is accused of using AI to slow your PC, but it's not what you think
2+ week, 11+ hour ago (752+ words) Some posts have used the opportunity to sell their Windows tweaking service, while claiming Microsoft is hurting gaming performance by running AI without your permission. Funnily enough, the scaremongering screenshots that started the panic also show that there is nothing…...
