Microsoft is urging users to transition to Windows 11 as support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025. The company emphasizes the importance of upgrading to Windows 11 or purchasing a new PC to "stay on the right side of risk" due to the cessation of security updates for Windows 10. A promotional video on the official Windows YouTube channel highlights these points and encourages users to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro PCs with Intel vPro technology. The messaging has received mixed reactions, with some users expressing discomfort with its tone.

Microsoft has updated Notepad to include new text formatting options, such as bold and italic styles, hyperlinks, and the ability to format lists and headings. This update began rolling out at the end of last month and is currently being tested with Windows Insiders in the Dev and Canary channels. The new features support Markdown-style input, allowing users to toggle between formatted Markdown and syntax views. Users can disable formatting entirely in the app settings to maintain the traditional Notepad experience. The update has raised concerns among users who relied on Notepad for stripping formatting from pasted text, as the new options may complicate this process. Microsoft has not yet responded to inquiries about user demand for these changes or the possibility of reverting to the original Notepad experience. The decision to enhance Notepad comes after the removal of WordPad from Windows in 2024.
