Microsoft is ending mainstream support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 — yet for many users the story doesn’t end there: Microsoft has opened a narrowly scoped, one‑year consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program that lets eligible Windows 10 devices receive security‑only patches...

Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) has been tied by multiple independent community tests and tech outlets to a serious storage regression: under sustained, large sequential writes some SSDs can stop responding, disappear from Windows, and — in a...

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 11 — a device praised for its exceptional standby and all‑day battery endurance — is suddenly being hamstrung for some owners: a firmware/UEFI interaction is capping affected units at roughly 50% state of charge, and in many cases the usual UEFI toggle to disable that cap...
Microsoft’s slow-but-steady retirement of Windows 10 has accelerated into a clear endgame: the company has shut down the Windows 10 Beta testing channel, confirmed a hard end-of-support date for the platform, and rolled out a narrowly scoped consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program that...
