Microsoft’s OneDrive Backup can be switched on for you during Windows 11 setup — but your files aren’t stolen; they’ve simply been moved into OneDrive and synced. If you prefer your Documents, Pictures, and Desktop to live locally, the change is reversible: stop folder backup in OneDrive, then...
Microsoft’s next-generation operating system, widely referred to in leaks and concept renderings as Windows 12, is shaping up to be less an incremental update and more a strategic pivot: an AI-first, modular OS that promises deeper cloud integration, a refreshed user interface, and a renewed...

Screenshots are one of those tiny productivity tools that repay learning a hundredfold: capture an error message, save a receipt, illustrate a how‑to, or document a configuration in seconds. On HP laptops running Windows 11, you have multiple ways to capture the screen — from the simple Print...
ZDNET’s compact roundup of "45+ time‑saving Windows keyboard shortcuts" is less a listicle and more a practical playbook: a curated set of high‑impact keystrokes that swap repetitive mouse motions for instant, repeatable actions and unlock features many users overlook. The author prioritizes...

Microsoft has quietly begun testing a Handoff-like “resume on PC” experience in Windows 11 Insider Preview builds that lets you start playback in Spotify on your Android phone and pick it up on your PC with a single click — a small but meaningful step toward the kind of cross-device continuity...
Microsoft is quietly rolling out a pilot in Windows 11 that lets you resume an active Android app session on your PC — starting with Spotify — by surfacing a taskbar “Resume” alert that opens the corresponding desktop app (or one‑click-installs it) and continues playback at the same position you...
Microsoft has begun quietly testing a true “pick up where you left off” flow in Windows 11 — a taskbar‑level “Resume from your phone” prompt that currently lets Android users move Spotify playback from handset to PC with one click. (blogs.windows.com) (theverge.com)

Microsoft’s Windows 11 is taking a deliberately different route to device continuity: instead of locking users into a single smartphone ecosystem, it’s building a handoff designed around Android phones and the Windows desktop — and the first public test, rolling out to Windows Insiders, uses...
Microsoft has started testing a native Android-to-PC handoff in Windows 11—beginning with Spotify—so you can start a song or podcast on your phone and continue with a single click on your desktop, complete with a one‑click app install if Spotify isn’t already on your PC. The preview is rolling...
Microsoft’s Copilot for Windows has taken another step toward becoming the primary way people find and act on files and apps in Windows 11, with a staged Insider rollout that adds semantic, natural‑language file and image search and a redesigned Copilot home — features gated initially to...
Today’s Canary-channel flight, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27924, marks a significant push by Microsoft into earlier-stage platform experimentation — and it ships with a packed, sometimes contentious mix of AI-driven features for Copilot+ PCs, new system-level settings, app updates, and...
Microsoft’s August Windows 11 update is less a routine patch and more a clear statement of intent: the OS is evolving into an AI-first platform where the system sees, suggests, and—when asked—acts, on behalf of the user.
