Microsoft just fixed a 9-month-old Windows bug, which is why it’s the perfect time to try Linux

Microsoft has fixed a long-standing bug in Windows 11 that affected dual-booting with Linux, which had persisted since August 2024. The issue arose from a Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) setting introduced in a Windows 11 update, which inadvertently disrupted dual-boot configurations by incorrectly applying the SBAT value on certain devices. As of May 2, with the release of Windows 11 version 24H2, users can now successfully dual-boot between Windows 11 and other operating systems, including Linux.

No, your printer isn’t possessed: a Windows 11 23H2 bug could be making it print random characters when connected via USB

Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 update has numerous bugs, leading many users to stick with the earlier 23H2 version. A specific issue reported with the KB5050092 preview update in 23H2 involves USB-connected printers producing pages filled with random characters upon startup, and disconnecting the printer does not resolve the problem. Users not reliant on USB printers may prefer 23H2, which lacks severe bugs found in 24H2. Gamers have faced challenges with Bluetooth connectivity and game compatibility issues, particularly with Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, which required a game update. Recent Nvidia Game Ready Drivers have further complicated the situation for gamers.

Microsoft has finally fixed Date & Time bug in Windows 11

An optional update for Windows 11, released on January 28, addresses a bug that prevented non-admin users from modifying their time zone settings. This issue was acknowledged by Microsoft in November 2024, and the patch is identified as KB5050094. Admin users were not affected by this limitation.

Microsoft says its Recall uninstall option in Windows 11 is just a bug

Microsoft is addressing a bug in Windows 11 where the Recall feature is incorrectly listed as an optional component that can be uninstalled. Brandon LeBlanc, a senior product manager at Microsoft, confirmed this issue and stated it will be fixed in an upcoming update. The Recall feature, which captures screenshots of user activity, was initially set to launch with Copilot Plus PCs in June but was postponed due to security concerns. Microsoft plans to preview Recall for Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs this October after enhancing its security. The Recall database lacked encryption, prompting Microsoft to make it an opt-in feature and implement encryption and authentication via Windows Hello. While inquiries about fully uninstalling Recall were made, Microsoft only confirmed the current listing as an uninstallable option is incorrect. There is speculation that an uninstall feature for Recall may be needed in European versions of Windows 11 to comply with the European Commission’s Digital Markets Act.

AMD’s Ryzen CPUs might be slower in PC games due to a weird Windows 11 bug – and while there’s a ‘fix’ you absolutely shouldn’t use it

AMD's Ryzen processors, including the Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series, are experiencing performance slowdowns during gaming on Windows 11, potentially due to a bug. Testing revealed that the Ryzen 9700X underperformed by several percentage points compared to AMD's internal benchmarks. In a suite of 13 games, the Ryzen 9700X showed a 3.8% performance increase when using a hidden admin account, while the Ryzen 7700X showed a 2.6% improvement. The overall performance drop outside of this mode was minimal. AMD has suggested the issue may be a Windows 11 bug, with hopes for a resolution in a future Microsoft update. There is uncertainty about whether this issue affects Intel CPUs or users on Windows 10. Hardware Unboxed has provided guidance on accessing the hidden admin account but warns against using it regularly due to security risks.
