#windows update

About this time last month, Windows 11 did an update and after the reboot the right side of the Taskbar was blank -- no clock, no Tray, nothin'. Various solutions online didn't correct it, and deactivating or uninstalling Windhawk appearance tweaker (in case of conflict) didn't address this. Microsoft hasn't claimed responsibility but many people online have been seeing this performance (some since June) so it's not really a one-off thing. No universal solution has been found.

I'd uninstalled the latest Update and put a pause on updates, and then today the timer came off and it automatically updated... but tomorrow the August update drops, so my timing was a little off. Grrr. But I saw a response on Redit today: install RetroBar as a short-term fix to get the right-end components back, and maybe Microsoft will fix this shit in tomorrow's update (or not). Wish I would have seen this message a month ago but anyhow, things look better and Windhawk (reinstalled) is working with it so I'll just enjoy the Window 98 look for awhile.

Microsoft is rolling out another wave of Windows 11 improvements throughout August, with many of the updates focused on everyday usability rather than flashy new features. Some of the biggest changes include a more customizable Start menu, a taskbar that can once again be moved to different sides of the screen, and a redesigned Windows Search that puts local files first while giving users more control over web results and suggestions.

The update also includes better privacy controls, the option to hide recommended content in the Start menu, and refinements aimed at improving performance and reducing distractions. Many of these changes are expected to arrive gradually through monthly updates before becoming part of the larger Windows 11 26H2 release later this year, showing Microsoft's continued focus on quality-of-life improvements driven by user feedback.

A Microsoft finalmente confirmou o lançamento do Windows 11 26H2 para o final de 2026. Sempre que uma nova versão do sistema operacional é anunciada, o usuário comum fica com as mesmas dúvidas na cabeça: “O meu computador vai aguentar?”, “Essa atualização vai deixar o meu PC lento?” ou “Vou perder os meus arquivos?”. Se você já usa o Windows 11 no seu dia a dia, pode respirar aliviado. Hoje,…

Windows 10 is STILL NOT DEAD (Until 2027)

Microsoft is keeping Windows 10 alive, but why?

Microsoft has quietly "announced" they will be supported Windows 10 for consumers for at least an additional year through so-called "Extended Security Updates" (ESU). They first announced this last year when Windows 10 ended support, and at the time only mentioned 1 year of support. I suspected they'd extend it, and now they have. They updated the ESU page that support will last through September 2027.
