Windows 10 has replaced Windows 11 as Steam’s top OS again

Windows 11 has experienced slow adoption rates, taking over three years to gain traction in the gaming community, while Windows 10 has regained its status as the preferred operating system on Steam as of February 2025. The latest Steam Hardware Survey indicates that Windows 10 64-bit has increased by 10.47%, giving it over 50% of Valve's user base, compared to Windows 11's 44.10%. Factors contributing to Windows 10's resurgence may include its reputation for speed in gaming and issues with Windows 11, particularly following the 24H2 update. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in Simplified Chinese users on Steam, which now accounts for 35% of the platform. Meanwhile, the transition to Windows 11 is ongoing, with a consistent 2% monthly increase reported by Statcounter, likely influenced by the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. Despite this, the upgrade process has faced criticism due to initial compatibility issues related to TPM requirements.

Улучшенную версию GTA 5 Enhanced уже взломали и выложили на торренты

On March 4th, Rockstar Games released the Enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V, which can be upgraded from the original title at no additional cost, but requires players to purchase the game first. This has been particularly challenging for players in Russia. Hackers have cracked the Enhanced version, making it available on torrent sites. The Enhanced edition features improved graphics, faster loading times, and exclusive content for GTA Online. However, it has received a mixed rating of 50% on Steam, with players criticizing the graphics, unstable servers, and the inability to transfer progress from the original version.

GTA 5’s free Enhanced PC update spoiled by missing in-game text chat, but it may only be temporary

Grand Theft Auto 5 has received an Enhanced update on PC, featuring ray-traced graphics, support for AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS, and new luxurious vehicles for GTA Online. Players who own the previous Legacy version can upgrade at no cost, but the Enhanced version requires double the RAM and graphics card memory. Enhanced version players cannot interact with Legacy players, creating a community divide. The update includes kernel-based anti-cheat protections, which have raised concerns about intrusiveness and false positives. In-game text chat has been removed, leading to player dissatisfaction and discussions about its importance for accessibility and communication. Players have also reported issues with transferring progress between versions. Many are expressing interest in news about the upcoming GTA 6 trailer and its console release.

More Android phones should copy how the Xiaomi 15 offers its AI writing tools

The Xiaomi 15 series integrates AI writing tools directly into the Android text selection menu, allowing users to summarize, proofread, extend, or rewrite text across all applications. Users can access these features by selecting text and tapping the AI writing button in the selection menu. In contrast, competitors like Google Pixel and OnePlus limit their AI writing capabilities to specific first-party applications. Samsung's upcoming One UI 7 update will also enable system-wide access to AI writing features, indicating a potential trend in the smartphone industry towards broader integration of such tools.

I wish Monster Hunter Wilds’ open world and changing seasons were ambitious enough to justify its PC performance woes, but they’ve yet to truly wow me

Over 1.3 million players are currently engaged in Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, but only about 13,000 users have left reviews, with the feedback being largely negative. The game holds a "mixed" rating, primarily due to performance issues. Players have reported low-resolution textures and frequent frame rate drops. Previous titles from Capcom, such as Monster Hunter: World and Dragon's Dogma 2, faced similar performance criticisms. Monster Hunter Wilds introduces new features like a seamless open world and seasonal changes, but these do not significantly alter the core gameplay of battling large monsters. Despite some visually striking environments, technical flaws detract from the overall experience.

Finding Windows 11 sluggish when you’re working with files and folders? You’re not alone – and it’s high time for Microsoft to sort out File Explorer

Microsoft is addressing performance issues with File Explorer in Windows 11, which users have reported as being slow to respond. A specific bug causing delays when closing the application is being worked on, but many users continue to express dissatisfaction with the overall performance, including delays of up to ten seconds when opening folders. Users have reported frequent crashes, especially when using tabs, and slow response times for the right-click context menu. Feedback indicates that these issues persist even on modern PCs with ample memory and fast SSDs. Despite being available for over three years, File Explorer's performance problems have not been fully resolved, and recent updates may have worsened the situation for some users.

Microsoft trims more CPUs from Windows 11 compatibility list

Microsoft has released a list of CPUs compatible with Windows 11 24H2, specifying that OEMs must use Intel's 11th-generation or later processors for new PCs. This update is directed at OEMs, not end users, and emphasizes that older pre-11th-generation Intel processors are not supported. Intel's 11th-generation chips were introduced in 2020 and have since been phased out, with many older processors now in a "legacy software support model." Users with eighth, ninth, and tenth-generation Intel processors may still use them if they meet other requirements like TPM 2.0. Microsoft has not clarified if this announcement indicates future reductions in CPU support, although it has historically adjusted hardware requirements.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 File Explorer can be slow when using title bar buttons

Windows 11's File Explorer has performance issues, affecting users even on high-end devices like the HP Spectre with 32GB of RAM. Users report slow responses and partial loading, particularly when using the close, minimize, or maximize buttons. Microsoft has acknowledged these concerns with the release of Windows 11 Build 22635.4950 (KB5052078) in the Beta Channel, indicating they are working on a fix for the slow closing issue. While some users have noted minor improvements, many feel that significant enhancements are still needed compared to Windows 10's File Explorer. Feedback from users highlights ongoing frustrations with sluggish opening times and modern design elements that seem to exacerbate the loading process. Microsoft is investigating these performance issues further.
