Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin glitch affecting all supported Windows versions — yes, even the trash needs debugging

Microsoft is addressing issues from its June 2026 Patch Tuesday update, which has caused critical flaws for Windows 11 users, including BitLocker lockout problems. Additionally, a new complication linked to Update KB5094126 affects all supported versions of Windows, where users may see the "internal" filename in the Recycle Bin confirmation dialog instead of the user-friendly filename. This glitch is limited to the dialog box and does not affect the actual file or deletion process.

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.

Android 17 is making Pixel widgets vanish, but Google already has a fix in the works

Users of Android 17 have reported that home screen widgets are disappearing after the latest stable update, specifically on devices with a work profile. Google is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, which may be included in the next month's security update. Currently, there is no effective workaround other than removing the work profile, which allows users to restore their widgets by restarting the device and re-adding them.

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.

Android 17 users are running into some strange problems with Wi-Fi data in certain apps

Android 17 has been released for Pixel phone users, introducing new features like Bubbles. However, users of devices from the Pixel 7 to the Pixel 10 series are experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues, where apps are not utilizing the Wi-Fi connection and instead using mobile data. This problem predominantly affects Google apps, although some still work over Wi-Fi. Discussions suggest that enabling IPv6 support on home routers might resolve the issue, but attempts to replicate the problem by disabling IPv6 and mobile data were unsuccessful. The issue has raised concerns about the thoroughness of testing prior to the update's release.

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.
