The Windows 11 Microsoft shipped in 2021 and the Windows 11 we have in 2026 are worlds apart — this is the full breakdown of what changed

Microsoft unveiled Windows 11 in October 2021, featuring a centered Start menu, revamped Taskbar, and rounded corners, along with productivity enhancements like Snap Layouts and a redesigned Microsoft Store. The initial release faced criticism for lacking familiar features from Windows 10, such as tabbed File Explorer and extensive Taskbar customization. Over the years, Microsoft has worked to restore many of these features and improve user experience. The Start menu has evolved from a basic design with limited customization options to a more flexible interface with size options and better organization of content. The Taskbar has seen the restoration of drag-and-drop functionality, app labels, and repositioning options. File Explorer now includes tabs, a Gallery feature, and improved cloud integration. The Settings app has become more consistent and capable, reducing reliance on the Control Panel. Productivity features like Search and Snap Layouts have improved significantly, with AI becoming a central aspect of the operating system. Performance has also enhanced, addressing initial sluggishness. Security and accessibility features have evolved, with stronger protections and expanded interaction methods. The setup experience has shifted to emphasize connectivity and Microsoft accounts, making local account creation more challenging. Despite these improvements, some legacy components and issues remain.

Russia charges Telegram CEO Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism

Russian authorities have charged Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, with aiding terrorism and placed him on an international wanted list. The Federal Security Service (FSB) alleges that Telegram facilitates criminal activities and operations related to Ukrainian intelligence, classifying it as a facilitator of "acts of sabotage and terrorism, mass murder, and cyber fraud." Instead of targeting the platform with fines or restrictions, Russian authorities are pursuing Durov personally. If convicted in Russia, he faces the possibility of life imprisonment. This case reflects a broader trend of governments holding technology executives accountable for content and activities on their platforms, with similar legal pressures observed on other platforms like Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube.
