RuneScape: Dragonwilds (PC) Review

RuneScape: Dragonwilds introduces players to the new continent of Ashenfall, where they face the Dragon Queen Kuldra amidst a significant dragon threat. The game features a new biome called the Scorned Wilderness and a raid-style dungeon, requiring 40 to 60 hours of gameplay to complete its story content. It includes a sophisticated crafting system that allows for extensive customization of the game world. The combat system has been modernized, incorporating various weapon types and a nuanced parrying system, while the magic system offers unique runes that alter spell effects. Players experience skill progression through the use of tools or weapons, but the early game lacks healing potions, making it challenging. The game encourages exploration with a robust crafting system and in-game mounts, as well as the ability to create travel routes using loadstone teleporter panels. It also features dungeons with platforming elements and diverse enemy encounters. RuneScape: Dragonwilds supports full crossplay for consoles and has a roadmap for future updates.

Windows 11 is getting a new look as Microsoft’s design boss confirms more ancient dialogs are next

Microsoft is modernizing outdated dialogs in Windows 11, including the Voice packages dialog, which currently lacks the rounded corners characteristic of the operating system's design. March Rogers, Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, confirmed that this dialog is scheduled for redesign, along with other legacy interfaces from older Windows versions. Microsoft is using a dual strategy for modernization: some dialogs are receiving dark mode support, while others are being rebuilt using WinUI 3. The File Properties dialog has already been successfully updated with this framework. The new Run dialog, developed with C# and WinUI 3, features dark mode and improved performance, while the legacy version will still be available. Additionally, the AutoPlay feature and Print Management app are also being redesigned in WinUI 3. Outdated interfaces, such as the local-account switching flow and the Windows 8-style input switcher on the login screen, are also set for redesign. Microsoft is updating various pages in the Settings menu, but the Control Panel will remain part of the Windows ecosystem.

Microsoft’s research boss reveals why Windows 11 features don’t show up, and his fix half works

Windows 11 has introduced new features such as a resizable Start menu, a movable taskbar, and the option to remove Bing from Windows Search. Users report not seeing significant changes after updates, leading to frustration. Marcus Ash, the design and research lead for Windows & Devices, acknowledged this issue, explaining that features may not appear immediately due to gradual rollouts. Users can enable the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” option, but this does not guarantee instant access to new features. The September 2026 update includes a movable taskbar, a smaller taskbar option, and the ability to disable Bing results in Windows Search, though immediate visibility of these changes is not assured. Microsoft is also testing new features with Windows Insiders, including a customization tool for the context menu, enhanced File Explorer performance, a reduction in memory footprint for devices with 8GB RAM and above, a new WinUI-based Run dialog, a revamped Properties dialog, a redesigned pop-up for connected drives, the ability to remap the Copilot key, and improvements to Bluetooth connections and headset calls.
