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. A restart of the Teams client may serve as a temporary workaround. Microsoft is analyzing diagnostic data and monitoring service changes to address the problem. 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.

Microsoft releases emergency updates to fix Windows Server issues

Microsoft has confirmed that some administrators are experiencing difficulties installing the KB5082063 security update on Windows Server 2025. This month's Patch Tuesday updates have caused certain Windows servers, especially those with domain controller roles, to enter a restart loop due to failures in the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). Microsoft has released emergency out-of-band updates, including KB5091157 for Windows Server 2025, to address both the installation failure and the restart issues. Additionally, some Windows Server 2025 devices may boot into BitLocker recovery mode after installing the KB5082063 update. A bug affecting Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 that caused unexpected upgrades to Windows Server 2025 has also been resolved. Microsoft has issued various emergency updates throughout the year to address other issues, including a Bluetooth device visibility bug and vulnerabilities in the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS).
Fix: "Cannot Complete the Archive Extraction" in Windows

Fix: “Cannot Complete the Archive Extraction” in Windows

Users may encounter the error message “Cannot complete the archive extraction wizard” when using the built-in Windows extractor for ZIP or RAR files, indicating limitations of this tool. Common issues include damaged archives, incompatible compression methods, long file paths, restricted extraction locations, insufficient disk space, or interruptions from security software. To address these challenges, users can: 1. Use third-party extractors like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or PeaZip for better compatibility and success rates. 2. Check if the archive is corrupted and re-download it if necessary, ensuring the download completes fully. 3. Shorten the file path by moving the archive to a simpler directory to avoid exceeding path limits. 4. Temporarily disable antivirus or real-time protection, as it may interrupt the extraction process. If problems persist, testing the archive on a different PC can help determine if the issue is with the archive or the current system. If the archive fails on another computer, it is likely corrupted or incomplete, requiring a fresh download or replacement.

Microsoft’s April patch puts Windows domain controllers into reboot loops — third known issue from KB5082063 is affecting Windows Server 2016 through 2025

Microsoft has acknowledged that the April 2026 security update for Windows Server, patch KB5082063, has caused significant disruptions for some enterprise domain controllers, leading to continuous reboot cycles in non-Global Catalog domain controllers used in Privileged Access Management (PAM) deployments. This has resulted in the unavailability of Active Directory authentication and directory services on affected servers. Additionally, the installation of KB5082063 may fail on some Windows Server 2025 systems. This issue marks the third consecutive year that April security updates have caused problems for Windows Server domain controllers. In previous years, Microsoft issued emergency fixes for similar issues, including crashes and complications with NTLM authentication. Administrators currently have limited options, including delaying the update, isolating a test domain controller, or engaging with Microsoft Support for tailored mitigation steps.

PC gaming is growing, but it isn’t because of Dota 2 and Fortnite

The gaming industry is undergoing significant transformation, with a notable shift in revenue dynamics. According to Newzoo's 2026 report, PC gaming is expected to surpass console gaming by 2028, driven by lucrative titles like League of Legends and World of Warcraft. In 2025, 56% of PC gaming revenue will come from games outside the top 20, highlighting the growing importance of non-top titles. Total playtime in PC gaming has increased by 14% from 2022 to 2025, with non-top 20 games seeing a 44% rise in engagement. Player preferences are leaning towards RPGs and adventure games, while first-person shooters remain popular on Xbox despite some genre fatigue. The gaming industry is characterized by cyclical trends, indicating that while certain genres may decline temporarily, they are not obsolete.
