Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Remake doesn’t dare touch the “magical balance” of the original

Microsoft preps this year’s Windows 11 feature tweaks: 26H2 hits Release Preview

Microsoft has introduced Windows 11 26H2 into the Windows Insider Release Preview Channel, coinciding with the rollout of August's preview update. This version shares its servicing branch with previous versions 24H2 and 25H2. Notable features in the August Preview Update include a movable taskbar, expanded Start Menu customization options, and the ability to exclude web and Microsoft Store suggestions from local search results. The update is delivered through an enablement package, allowing activation of already downloaded functionalities without a complete OS overhaul. Windows 11 26H2 resets the support timeline, offering 24 months of support for Home and Pro editions and 36 months for Enterprise and Education editions. Enterprises need to validate this release, but compatibility with 25H2 and 24H2 is expected. Microsoft advises organizations to test compatibility with their applications and infrastructure. The company has adopted a more cautious approach to updates since the problematic Windows 10 October 2018 update. The August Preview Update faced some criticism from users reporting issues, but Microsoft claims it is not aware of any significant problems.

"God Mode? Hardly." Microsoft debunks Windows 11's God Mode, but the trick still works

“God Mode? Hardly.” Microsoft debunks Windows 11’s God Mode, but the trick still works

The "God Mode" in Windows is activated by creating a folder and renaming it to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}, which transforms the folder icon to resemble the Control Panel and displays a comprehensive list of all settings tasks available in Windows. This trick was clarified by Microsoft engineer Brandon Paddock, who stated that the name "GodMode" is misleading, as the folder can be named anything with the same CLSID code, and it merely exposes two documented elements of the Windows shell. The functionality was intended for developers and not casual users, and the trick could be altered or removed in future updates.
