Stop installing these 4 apps—Windows does it all now

Windows has evolved to integrate functionalities that were once reliant on third-party applications, such as native support for ZIP files introduced in Windows ME in 2000, and the ability to open and create RAR, TAR, and 7z formats directly from File Explorer. Features like Storage Sense have replaced the need for tools like CCleaner by allowing users to manage temporary files more easily, and the effectiveness of Windows Defender has reduced the necessity for third-party antivirus solutions. Additionally, modern Windows can mount ISO files directly, eliminating the need for applications like Daemon Tools. The trend of operating systems adopting features from third-party applications, known as "Sherlocking," reflects a response to user demands while still allowing for optional third-party solutions.

The 7th Guest Remake launches in June, bringing back one of the earliest PC CD-ROM games

PC CD-ROM drives led to the development of notable games like Myst, Star Wars: Rebel Assault, and The 7th Guest. Nintendo secured rights for The 7th Guest for a planned SNES CD add-on, which was never released. In 2023, The 7th Guest was re-released on the Nintendo eShop after three decades. Vertigo Games is remaking The 7th Guest, featuring reimagined puzzles and environments, with a scheduled launch on June 4th, priced at .99, available on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch version expected later. Owners of The 7th Guest VR on Steam or PlayStation will access the remake for free, and those who purchase the remake on Steam or PS5 will receive The 7th Guest VR for free on Steam VR or PlayStation VR2.

File Explorer feels outdated again after this Files update

Windows 11’s File Explorer is being enhanced for speed and reliability but lacks a customizable toolbar, which many users find essential. In contrast, Files version 4.0.39 allows users to customize the toolbar by adding, removing, and reordering actions, which helps reduce visual clutter and speeds up access to tasks. Users can also display text labels alongside icons for better usability. Historically, File Explorer had tabbed browsing before the redesign in Windows 11. Files is available for purchase on the Microsoft Store or can be downloaded for free via GitHub, with an option to sponsor the developer.
