Windows 11 setup now prompts you to install TikTok and Netflix apps during first boot

Microsoft has introduced a new feature called Assisted Setup in Windows 11, which allows users to install popular third-party applications like TikTok, WhatsApp, and Spotify immediately after the out-of-box experience (OOBE). This feature is gradually rolling out with build 26340.9354, released on September 8. Users can opt for automatic downloads and installations of these applications, but they must explicitly consent to download them, unlike pre-installed apps like OneDrive and Phone Link. The setup process also allows users to pin popular websites to the taskbar, with recommendations based on geographical location. Windows 11 26H2 has been officially released.

How to find and hide an app on Android Auto

The sudden disappearance of apps from the Android Auto launcher can be resolved by launching the app on your phone and reconnecting to Android Auto. This issue is often due to features in the Android operating system, such as Samsung's automatic disabling of unused apps to conserve battery life. To prevent apps from disappearing, users can disable the "Auto disable unused apps" setting in their phone's battery settings. Users can also customize the apps displayed in Android Auto by navigating to Settings > Connected devices > Android Auto > Customize launcher. Not all applications are compatible with Android Auto; only those designed for the platform will appear. While there is no dedicated "hide app" function, users can manage app visibility through customization options.

I’ve Been Gaming On Linux For Five Years – Is It Ready To Replace Windows?

Steam Deck debuted in early 2022 with SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system that uses the Wine-based Proton compatibility layer to run Windows games. This development has significantly advanced Linux gaming, with approximately 95% of games functioning well on Linux. Steam's Verified program lists nearly 9,000 Verified games, and around 30,000 playable titles, with only about 1% of popular games failing to run entirely. Anti-cheat systems remain a major limitation, preventing popular titles like "Fortnite" and "League of Legends" from being playable on Linux. Game streaming services like NVIDIA GeForce NOW offer alternatives for playing anti-cheat games on Linux. Linux distributions provide better controller support compared to Windows, particularly for handhelds and living room PCs. Accessing non-Steam games can be cumbersome, though tools like Heroic Launcher help. Compatibility issues with proprietary standards, such as HDMI 2.1 support, persist in Linux gaming.

The phrase “Technoblade never dies” has become a tribute within the gaming community, and his legacy continues to influence content, including a tribute in the upcoming 2025 film “A Minecraft Movie.”
