Windows 10: WinRE Update KB5075039 fixes issue from Oct. 2025

On March 3, 2026, Microsoft re-released update KB5075039 to restore functionality to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) for Windows 10, which officially fell out of support in October 2025. This update followed a bug caused by dynamic security update KB5067039, released in October 2025, which introduced a problematic USBHUB3.SYS driver version that disabled USB keyboards and mice in WinRE. Microsoft acknowledged this issue on October 17, 2025. In mid-January 2026, Microsoft released recovery updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11, including KB5075039 on January 15, 2026, targeting Windows 10 versions 21H2 and 22H2, but it did not resolve the issue. The re-release of update KB5073933 on March 3, 2026, addressed a critical bug preventing WinRE from starting when the previous update KB5068164 was installed. The installation of KB5073933 is recommended for Windows 10 22H2 users with ESU support to ensure a functional recovery environment.

The Original Final Fantasy 7 Gets a New Re-release for PC on Steam

Final Fantasy VII has received a significant update on Steam, introducing several enhancements: a 3x Speed Mode for faster navigation, a Random Encounter Toggle, a Battle Enhancement Mode that maximizes the Limit gauge and restores HP and MP during battles, and an Autosave Feature. This updated version replaces the 2013 edition on the Steam store, which will no longer be available for purchase. Players who previously owned the 2013 edition will receive the new version for free and retain access to the older version, but save files from the 2013 edition are not compatible with the new release. The update aims to align the game with modern console ports and improve upon the earlier Steam edition's performance. Additionally, anticipation grows for the conclusion of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy, with Part 2, titled Rebirth, set to launch on Switch 2 and Xbox later this year.

How Does Jack Black Feel About The Minecraft Movie’s Theater Audience ‘Going Nuts? (I Can’t Get Enough Of His A+ Comparison)

This year features several anticipated video game adaptations, including The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Mortal Kombat II, and Street Fighter. A Minecraft Movie became the highest-grossing film in the domestic market of 2025, earning 8.3 million globally. The film's success was marked by enthusiastic audience reactions, reminiscent of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Jack Black noted the audience's fervor and compared it to his childhood experiences with the cult classic. Warner Bros. re-released the film due to its reception, and Black's song “Lava Chicken” became the shortest hit to reach the Billboard charts. A sequel is in development, with production expected to start in April and a release date set for July 23, 2027.

The only CRPG using D&D’s original setting is finally on Steam, with fan patches and quality-of-life fixes pre-installed

The US edition of PC Gamer magazine awarded The Temple of Elemental Evil a score of 79% in 2003. The game faced criticisms for issues such as NPC companions hoarding loot, poor pathfinding mechanics, and various bugs. The re-release of the game on Steam serves as a bridge between classic RPGs and modern user-friendly experiences, offering a faithful representation of D&D's 3.5 ruleset. The gameplay features deep tactical options, strategic movement considerations, and unique skills that enhance encounters. The new release is described as a thoughtful repair rather than a mere remake or remaster, with curated improvements that maintain the charm of the original.

‘This is suspect’: Scarface game modder claims surprise PC ‘remaster’ was listed without the film IP owner’s knowledge

An HD remaster of Scarface: The World is Yours has been released, but concerns about its legitimacy have arisen, prompting the publisher to temporarily hide the store page and enter discussions regarding licensing and technical issues. The original game, released in 2006, appeared unexpectedly on the Epic Games Store and Steam, with claims of an "optional HD graphics upgrade." However, it was discovered that the version sold on Epic Games is essentially the existing PC version with fan-made patches. The developer of one of the patches expressed surprise at the lack of communication about their work's inclusion and speculated that the rights holder for the Scarface movie may be unaware of the release. Players are advised to avoid purchasing the game until further clarification is provided. Additionally, a sequel to Scarface: The World is Yours was once in development but was ultimately shelved, with concept art and footage surfacing online in 2022.
