Microsoft has confirmed a display bug in Windows 10 that is incorrectly warning some users their systems “have reached the end of support,” even when those devices are still eligible for Extended Security Updates (ESU) or are running supported Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) releases. The false alert has caused confusion and concern because it appears in Windows Update and explicitly claims, “Your device is no longer receiving security updates,” a statement that — in many reported cases —...

A misleading “Your version of Windows has reached the end of support” banner began appearing in Settings > Windows Update on a subset of Windows 10 PCs after the October cumulative update, alarming administrators and home users even though many of those machines remain entitled to security updates through Extended Security Updates (ESU) or are running supported LTSC/IoT Enterprise builds; Microsoft has acknowledged the display error and delivered a two-track remediation (a cloud...

Microsoft’s November Game Pass cadence opens with a heavy hitter and a handful of sharply contrasting indies: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will arrive as a day‑one Xbox Game Pass release on November 14 across Cloud, Console, and PC, while an eclectic lineup that includes Dead Static Drive (November 5) and cozy critter‑adventures joins the service in early November. The first wave of November additions delivers blockbuster spectacle and boutique creativity side by side — but it also surfaces the...

Microsoft’s “create confidently with AI” pitch for Copilot and Designer distills a simple idea: anyone can turn a brief sentence into a usable image, and Microsoft wants that first step to be fast, safe, and integrated into the apps people already use. The company positions Copilot as an approachable on‑ramp for novices while folding richer imaging tools into Microsoft Designer, the Photos app, and Office workflows—promising low friction, iterative control, and tight integration with...

ADMANITY’s CEO Brian Gregory has announced the filing and public rollout of PRIMAL AI — an asserted, trademarked emotional persuasion layer and the commercial packaging of what the company calls its “Mother Algorithm” — a portable communication logic intended to make any large language model (LLM) deliver brand-level, conversion-focused messaging without retraining the base model. Background / Overview ADMANITY positions itself as a decade-plus research project that distilled advertising...

A recent emergency WSUS patch intended to close a critical remote‑code‑execution hole instead produced an unexpected outage in Microsoft’s restart‑free Hotpatch delivery for a small number of Windows Server 2025 instances — a servicing mishap that forced affected systems off the Hotpatch cadence for two months and sent administrators scrambling to choose between immediate security and zero‑downtime guarantees. Background / Overview Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is a widely used...

Microsoft’s announcement that it will invest roughly $15.2 billion in the United Arab Emirates and has secured U.S. export approvals to deploy advanced NVIDIA GB300-class systems in-country marks a watershed moment in the global AI infrastructure race—one that reshapes where frontier AI compute lives, how hyperscalers manage export controls and national security constraints, and what IT leaders should expect when planning for cloud-native AI deployments. Background Microsoft’s investment...

Reddit users in the United States, India and several other countries were hit by a widespread outage on November 4, 2025, leaving tens of thousands unable to load feeds, post or even log in—an interruption the company said it had identified and was actively fixing while the incident renewed focus on how DNS and cloud control‑plane dependencies can amplify a single failure into a multi‑region disruption. Background The November 4 outage echoed a string of high‑profile cloud incidents this...

OpenAI’s blockbuster move to buy $38 billion in cloud compute from Amazon Web Services is more than a commercial transaction — it’s a strategic realignment that reframes the architecture, economics, and geopolitics of contemporary AI. In a single stroke the ChatGPT maker has signaled an end to absolute dependence on one cloud partner, reinforced the indispensable position of NVIDIA as the dominant supplier of AI accelerators, and reignited the cloud “proxy wars” among the hyperscalers that...

Windows 10 did not fall silent when Microsoft pulled the plug on free mainstream support; instead it remained a large, stubborn presence on desktops worldwide, forcing enterprises and consumers into a pragmatic — and sometimes uncomfortable — set of choices about security, upgrades and migration paths. While Microsoft has made Windows 11 its strategic focus, the real-world landscape after October 14, 2025 shows a slow, messy migration: Windows 10 continues to power tens — and likely hundreds...

Microsoft’s terse changelog entry in a recent preview update finally does what it promises: the Start menu option “Update and shut down” now appears to power machines off after applying updates, addressing an intermittent bug that left some PCs restarted and still running instead of shut down. The remediation was identified in Windows Insider preview flights and folded into the October 28, 2025 optional preview cumulative package (KB5067036) for Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2, and...

A sudden, global disruption to Microsoft’s cloud fabric late on October 29 laid bare a fragile dependency at the heart of many modern services: an inadvertent configuration change to Azure Front Door (AFD) produced widespread latency, authentication failures and portal downtime that—while largely recovered within hours—left businesses, gamers and administrators scrambling and raised urgent questions about change control, identity concentration and operational transparency. Background /...

Microsoft’s new ND GB300 v6 virtual machines have cracked a milestone that changes the practical limits of public‑cloud AI inference: one NVL72 rack of Blackwell Ultra GPUs sustained an aggregated throughput of roughly 1.1 million tokens per second, a result validated by an independent benchmark lab and reported by multiple outlets. Background / Overview Microsoft packaged NVIDIA’s latest GB300 NVL72 rack into the Azure ND GB300 v6 VM family and used an MLPerf‑style Llama 2 70B inference...

My 512GB laptop still feels fast because of a tiny, underrated Windows feature that quietly does what most users don’t want to do themselves: it keeps the system drive tidy, prevents low‑space thrashing, and offloads seldom‑used cloud files so the OS always has breathing room. Background / Overview Windows has always needed free space to operate smoothly. Beyond the obvious storage used by applications and media, the operating system relies on headroom for temporary files, update staging...

Microsoft’s October servicing wave left an unexpected scar: a prominent, in‑OS warning telling some Windows 10 machines they’d “reached the end of support” — including systems that are legitimately enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU) or running Long‑Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) editions that remain covered for years. The message was a display/diagnostic error, Microsoft confirmed, and the vendor pushed a two‑track remediation (a cloud configuration correction for connected devices...

A small patch of the Microsoft Store quietly flickered to life this week, revealing a string of Xbox 360-era games that had long been delisted — and each listing carried the same tantalizing label: “Coming Soon.” What began as a single screenshot shared on X (formerly Twitter) quickly spread into a swell of cross‑region sightings, forum threads, and headlines. The change is real in the storefront UI that users are seeing in some locales, but what it means — whether a planned re‑release, a...
