In the co-op pirate survival game Windrose, players earn experience points (XP) by exploring islands and completing tasks, which include finding and opening treasure chests. The game map indicates the number of chests remaining at each location. During gameplay, the PC Gamer team found one chest at a Traveler's Camp but struggled to locate the second. A memory of a previous camp led them to search for trees with red scarves tied around them, which consistently marked the location of hidden chests. Digging at the base of these trees allowed them to successfully find the second chest at various Traveler's Camps.

Microsoft is phasing out the Copilot branding from various native applications in Windows 11, including Notepad and Snipping Tool, replacing the Copilot button with a writing tools menu. Similar changes are being made in other applications like Photos and Widgets. The updates aim to reduce the number of Copilot entry points while maintaining core AI functionalities. Microsoft is shifting its focus to embedding AI directly within applications instead of highlighting it as a standalone feature, resulting in a more streamlined user experience. Users will see fewer visible AI shortcuts, but functionality such as AI-assisted features will remain accessible through different menus.

Windows 11's taskbar has faced criticism for its lack of customization options, prompting the development of a tool called Windhawk. Windhawk allows users to customize the taskbar extensively, including options for translucency and styles reminiscent of Windows XP and Vista. It features a "Taskbar Clock Customization" mod that displays CPU and RAM usage on the taskbar, and a "Taskbar on top for Windows 11" mod that enables users to move the taskbar to the top of the screen. The "Taskbar Volume Control" mod turns the entire taskbar into a volume control area, while the "Middle click to close on the taskbar" mod allows users to close applications with a middle-click. Additionally, the "Click on empty taskbar space" mod lets users set custom shortcuts for various actions. Windhawk also includes mods for adjusting thumbnail sizes, adding power buttons to the Start menu, and restoring the classic context menu, enhancing the overall user experience and functionality of the Windows 11 taskbar.
