Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday update strikes again

Microsoft has confirmed a bug affecting the Recycle Bin across all supported versions of Windows following its June 2026 Patch Tuesday update. The glitch causes the confirmation dialog to display an "internal" filename instead of the user-friendly filename when deleting files, although the actual file and its deletion process remain unaffected. The issue affects various Windows client and server versions, including Windows 11 (versions 26H1, 25H2, 24H2, 23H2), Windows 10 (versions 22H2, Enterprise LTSC 2021, Enterprise LTSC 2019, Enterprise LTSB 2016), and Windows Server (2025, 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012). Microsoft is developing a permanent solution, but it is unclear when it will be released. Commercial customers can contact Microsoft Support for Business for a workaround.

I tried Microsoft’s region-locked PC Manager and now I wish everyone could use it

Microsoft PC Manager is a free application for Windows 11 that optimizes system performance by consolidating various tools and options into a cohesive interface. It has been in development for over two years and is set for general release in 2024, but it remains limited to a select audience and is not officially available in all regions. Users have found workarounds to access the app despite these regional restrictions.

After years of forgetting Windows shortcuts, I finally found a method that makes them stick

On Windows 11, keyboard shortcuts enhance productivity, but many users are only aware of a few common ones like "Windows key + E" for File Explorer and "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V" for copying and pasting. To help users discover more shortcuts, the Microsoft team behind PowerToys has released a revamped Shortcut Guide in version 0.100. This guide can be accessed through the GitHub page or the Microsoft Store and activated via PowerToys settings. Users can customize the guide's color theme, position, and exclude specific applications. The guide can be opened using the "Windows key + Shift + /" shortcut and provides organized shortcuts for Windows 11 and PowerToys. It also includes context-aware functionality, showing relevant shortcuts based on the active application. The development team has provided guidelines for developers to integrate their apps into the Shortcut Guide.

I discovered a dead‑simple way to remember Windows 11 shortcuts, and it changed how I use the OS

The Microsoft team behind PowerToys has released an updated Shortcut Guide in version 0.100 for Windows 11, which now appears as a context-sensitive flyout instead of a static reference page. This guide provides relevant keyboard shortcuts based on the application currently in use, improving user efficiency and learning. Users can access the Shortcut Guide by installing PowerToys and can customize its settings, including color theme and activation shortcut. The guide displays shortcuts for various applications and includes a list of Windows 11 and PowerToys shortcuts when no applications are focused. Developers can integrate their apps into the Shortcut Guide as well.

Microsoft modernized almost everything in Windows 11, but this 90s feature quietly lives on

Screensavers were originally designed to prevent burn-in on CRT monitors in the 1980s and 1990s, but evolved into a form of personalization with options like 3D Text and flying toasters. By 2026, the necessity for screensavers has diminished due to modern displays' ability to avoid burn-in and Windows 11's power management features. Screensavers are now mostly used for personal photo slideshows or basic visuals, accessible through Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Screen saver, with options including 3D Text, Bubbles, Mystify, Photos, and Ribbons. Microsoft has shifted focus to AI and performance improvements, leaving screensavers as a legacy feature that is not actively developed. There is potential for screensavers to be reimagined as a modern ambient mode that enhances the idle experience by displaying personal photos or useful information. Currently, Windows 11 lacks a cohesive system that integrates various idle features, leading to a static or blank display when users step away.

I tried Bus Simulator 27 on PC, and it’s a super relaxing game… Until it just isn’t

Bus Simulator 27 is set to launch later this year, with a free demo available on Steam until June 22. The demo lacks support for DLSS or FSR, and during testing at 1440p on high settings with an RTX 5090, frame rates ranged from 70-80 FPS, with occasional drops. The AI traffic exhibits erratic behavior, often stopping abruptly and inconsistently adhering to speed limits, leading to penalties for the player in case of collisions. The voice acting can be distracting, interrupting the gameplay experience. The game is priced modestly, with additional content available for purchase, but there are concerns about optimization and AI dynamics that need addressing before the full release.
