Users can find the release candidate in Linus' Linux Git repository and are encouraged to report any bugs.

Microsoft Looks Ready To Stop Forcing Windows Updates At The Worst Time

Additionally, the power menu will include options for "Update and restart" and "Update and shut down" when an update is pending. The new model is currently in testing, and it is unclear when it will be available to all Windows 11 users or if it will apply uniformly across all device categories and update types.

Microsoft beefs up Remote Desktop security with … hard-to-read messages

Microsoft has released an update to improve the security of its Remote Desktop feature, which includes a warning for users opening Remote Desktop (.rdp) files. However, this warning is not displaying correctly for some users due to a bug identified in the Known Issues list after the April 14 update. The issue primarily affects users with multiple monitors set to different display scaling, leading to overlapping text or obscured buttons. Microsoft has advised users to synchronize their display scaling settings or use keyboard navigation as a workaround. The company plans to address this issue in a future Windows update but is not issuing an Out-of-Band update specifically for it. Additionally, a serious vulnerability (CVE-2026-40372) was discovered in the .NET framework, affecting versions 10.0.0 to 10.0.6, which requires immediate attention. This vulnerability impacts all Windows versions that received the update, including Windows 11 26H1.

New Slay the Spire 2 update reworks Ironclad’s most unpopular card and makes lower Ascensions easier

Developer Megacrit has released beta patch notes for Slay the Spire 2, focusing on refining the Ascension difficulty scaling. Changes include reduced HP for Scrolls of Biting, Owl Magistrate, and Slimed Berserker at lower Ascensions, while making them stronger at higher levels. The Vantom Act 1 boss has been nerfed, and the Waterfall Giant elite heals less in low-difficulty encounters. The team is monitoring the performance of the Act 3 boss, Doormaker, but is hesitant to make further changes. Card updates feature new artwork and significant reworks for Conflagration and Drum of Battle for Ironclad, with Conflagration now dealing two damage to all enemies four times at base. Regent's Parry has been adjusted to align better with Dexterity and Frail mechanics. Neow's blessings have seen some improvements, with Booming Conch providing additional energy and Neow's Fury allowing players to choose cards from the discard pile. Tezcatara's Nutritious Soup relic has been buffed to grant Strikes additional damage and cost nothing. The patch also includes various smaller balance changes, user interface enhancements, and bug fixes.

Microsoft: Some Teams users can’t join meetings after Edge update

Microsoft has acknowledged an issue with its Edge browser affecting users trying to join Teams meetings, documented under incident report TM1288497.

This issue follows a previous bug where an Edge update disrupted the right-click paste functionality in Teams, with a fix scheduled for the next platform update. Additionally, Microsoft reverted a service update that prevented some users from launching the Teams desktop client. Ongoing challenges related to Universal Print sharing have also emerged due to changes in the Microsoft Graph API code.
