NTDEV’s latest builder shrinks a full Windows 11 ISO down to a reported 2.29 GB by surgically removing nearly everything most users expect from a modern desktop OS — from Xbox and Solitaire to Windows Update and Windows Defender — producing an extremely compact, intentionally unserviceable image...
A routine security update intended to tighten Windows kernel defenses has instead opened a new attack vector: a reliably exploitable information‑disclosure bug tracked as CVE‑2025‑53136 that leaks kernel addresses on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 24H2 builds. The vulnerability—rooted in...
Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.6682 (KB5065782) to the Beta Channel on September 12, 2025 — a targeted maintenance-and-experience flight for PCs running Windows 11, version 24H2 that layers incremental Copilot-era UX polish, accessibility improvements, and a handful of...

Microsoft’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 was supposed to make AI agents safer to run at enterprise scale; instead, recent reports show a control-plane failure that left some agents discoverable and installable despite tenant-level policy locks—forcing administrators into time-consuming, per-agent...
If Windows 11’s July 2025 cumulative update (KB5062553) won’t install on your PC and you’re seeing rollback messages or error codes such as 0x800f0922, 0x80073712, or “Updates failed — your device is missing important security updates,” this guide walks through a practical, evidence-backed...
Microsoft’s Copilot agent governance has slid into the spotlight after multiple, independent reports found that tenant-level policies intended to prevent user access to AI agents were not reliably enforced — a misconfiguration and control-plane gap that left some Copilot Agents discoverable or...
