One in six Windows PCs still runs Windows 10, and the vulnerabilities are piling up

Approximately 17% of all Windows client devices are still running Windows 10, equating to about one in six machines. Windows 11 accounts for 78% of Windows devices, with third-party trackers indicating it surpassed 70% of desktop share as of February 2026. Official support for Windows 10 ended in October 2025, but Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program will provide patches until October 2027 for eligible devices. A typical Windows 10 device has an average of 1,903 active security vulnerabilities, nearly three times the 652 CVE-tracked flaws found on a Windows 11 machine. 66% of Windows 10 vulnerabilities are classified as "high" or "critical." Small and medium enterprises have 21.4% of their Windows devices still on Windows 10, while larger enterprises have 16.6%. The healthcare and pharmaceuticals sectors have 23% of devices on Windows 10, followed by consumer and retail at 22%, and manufacturing at 18%. Lansweeper is urging organizations to enroll in the ESU program and address reasons for remaining on Windows 10 as 2026 approaches.

X finally ships its rebuilt Android app

X has launched a revamped version of its Android app, a project that began nearly a year ago in response to user feedback about bugs and performance issues. The initiative was first mentioned in August 2025 when Nikita Bier, the Head of Product, sought to create the "Android Dream Team." On July 20, Bier announced the completion of the rebuild, describing it as one of the largest engineering efforts in the company's history. The new app is faster, smoother, and more reliable, with a modernized foundation that will facilitate quicker feature rollouts in the future. Although the update does not introduce new user-facing features, it focuses on performance enhancements, including improvements to scrolling, loading, and notifications. Future updates are promised to include additional functionalities, such as better support for hosting Spaces and improved performance on older devices.

Ditching Windows is the loudest feedback you can ever give Microsoft

Frustration with Microsoft's data collection practices has increased, particularly since the transition from Windows 7, where the amount of user data collected has significantly risen. Microsoft gathers extensive data points, including device IDs, user IDs, operating system information, and application usage data. Many users are turning to Linux as an alternative, as it respects user privacy and does not collect personal data without consent. Microsoft has also employed manipulative design tactics to influence user behavior, such as persistent prompts and misleading visuals. Additionally, the introduction of ads in Windows 11 has been viewed as disrespectful to paying customers, while Linux remains ad-free. Users are encouraged to switch to Linux to express dissatisfaction with Microsoft's practices and to reclaim their digital autonomy.

Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 4 is a big update hiding under the hood

Minecraft's Snapshot 26.3 update transitions the Java Edition from GLFW to SDL3, improving window management, input handling, and platform support. It uses SDL scancodes for key positions and SDL keycodes for text shortcuts, enhancing control responsiveness. The Raw Input mouse option has been removed, and players can switch between Borderless and Exclusive Fullscreen modes without restarting the game. However, Exclusive fullscreen mode may cause crashes on Windows and is not supported on macOS. Players in Spectator mode can now interact with Nether portals, End portals, and End gateways. The debug overlay has been improved, and the creative inventory has been reorganized. Armadillos will no longer roll up while submerged. New item components for cooking and brewing fuels have been introduced, allowing data pack creators to define parameters like burn duration and cooking speed. Sign behavior has been adjusted to prevent click events by default. There are extensive format changes to world generation, loot tables, predicates, number providers, and advancement triggers, updated to Data Pack version 111.0 and Resource Pack version 92.0. Snapshot 4 addresses various bugs, but players are advised to back up their worlds before using the snapshot to avoid potential damage to saved games.

Valve reassures Team Fortress 2 players that it’s still working on the Mann vs Machine update it announced last year: ‘We promise we’re making progress’

Valve has provided an update on the long-awaited Mann vs. Machine mode for Team Fortress 2, acknowledging the delay since the initial call for community submissions in June of last year. The fictional deadline of August 27 has passed without further communication until now. Valve humorously stated, "We're still working on the MvM update." Despite infrequent major updates, Team Fortress 2 has seen increased player engagement following a significant update in 2023, and a recent update introduced new community maps, cosmetics, and taunts, along with smaller patches for bug fixes.

Microsoft finally lets you pause Windows 11 updates until the exact date you want, and more, in latest patch

Microsoft has released a significant update for Windows 11 in July 2026, which includes user control over automatic updates, allowing users to pause updates for 1 to 35 days. The update addresses 570 bug fixes and introduces an automatic snapshot feature for system recovery, retaining system states for up to 72 hours, requiring 50GB of storage on devices with at least 200GB of disk space. Bluetooth functionality has improved, particularly in audio performance and synchronization. A new screen tint feature allows for custom colors and intensities for night viewing. The update is available for download, but some features may be rolled out gradually, and Dell PC owners may experience delays due to a USB connectivity bug. Additionally, Microsoft is streamlining Windows Search by removing sponsored content.
Edge Drop Clipboard Manager Brings Mouse-Driven Copy Management to Windows 11

Edge Drop Clipboard Manager Brings Mouse-Driven Copy Management to Windows 11

A new clipboard manager for Windows 11 called Edge Drop is in early testing, developed by AdiArtist. It enhances the clipboard experience by sitting on the left side of the screen and can be accessed by hovering the mouse or using the Alt+C shortcut. Edge Drop handles text, images, and various file types, automatically integrating copied items. Users can download it from its official website or GitHub, currently at version 0.1.0. The app allows users to drag items into it and features stacking capabilities for grouping related content, although it does not support combining different content types in a single stack. Unlike Windows 11's built-in clipboard history, which supports item pinning and cross-device syncing, Edge Drop focuses on mouse interaction. The name "Edge Drop" may face challenges due to a similar feature in Microsoft's Edge browser, which is being phased out. Users should be aware of potential rebranding and instability as the app is still in development. Installation involves downloading from the official website or GitHub, and it is not available in the Microsoft Store. Edge Drop is designed for creative workflows but may not suit users who prefer keyboard navigation or require clipboard syncing across devices. Ongoing development may introduce new features and improvements.
