Microsoft is finally letting you skip updates during Windows 11 setup

Microsoft is introducing changes to the Windows 11 Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) by allowing users to click “Update Later” during setup to bypass post-installation updates. This aims to streamline the installation process and enable quicker access to desktops. The feature is currently being rolled out, but the timeline for widespread availability is uncertain. Users should be cautious, as skipping updates may expose their PCs to security vulnerabilities until they manually install the updates.

Medieval sandbox sim Noble Legacy just got much more realistic, but it’s the new town pets I’m most excited about

A significant update for Noble Legacy has been released, introducing substantial changes to the medieval simulation game developed by Studio 369. The update enhances town management, allowing for larger player towns and improved villager behavior, including new factors like temperature and cleanliness. Players can recruit villagers, assign tasks, and create production chains while managing local issues and defending against bandit raids. Titled "Life, Death, and Industry," the update adds survival elements, improves villager AI with unique traits and dialogues, and emphasizes health management through warmth and hygiene. New facilities like bathhouses and apothecaries are introduced, along with a system of afflictions affecting villager performance. The population cap has increased from 50 to 70, and players can implement kingdom-wide policies through edicts. The update also features the first unique hero recruit, Hardwin the Hermit, and introduces two new scenarios along with dynamic quest generation systems. Bandit behavior has shifted to focus on resource targeting, and players can now keep town pets that assist during raids. New trading options for livestock and visual updates to buildings and armor sets have been added. A custom game mode for difficulty adjustments and a creative mode for unrestricted building are also included. The update is live and available at a discounted price until April 27.

Windows 11 is finally removing the 32GB FAT32 capacity limit

Microsoft has released new test builds for Windows Insiders, specifically Dev Build 26300.8170 and Beta Build 26220.8165, which remove the 32GB limit on FAT32 formatting for external drives. Users can now format external drives up to 2TB using FAT32 through the Command Prompt. This change, which has been anticipated by users, is a shift from the long-standing restriction that required third-party applications or specialized commands for larger drives. The enhancement applies only to the Command Prompt, as the graphical interface remains unchanged, and the 4GB file size limit for individual files on FAT32 drives still applies. This feature is currently available only in preview versions for Windows Insiders, with a broader rollout planned for future standard Windows 11 updates.
