Steam Client Officially Moves to 64-bit on Windows 11 and Windows 10

Valve has officially concluded support for the 32-bit Steam application on Windows 10 and Windows 11 as of December 19. Updates for the 32-bit Steam client will continue until January 1, 2026. Users are encouraged to migrate to 64-bit operating systems, as the number of users on 32-bit systems is low. Those remaining on a 32-bit OS will need to upgrade their hardware or reinstall a 64-bit operating system to continue accessing the official Steam Client. The gaming community may create unofficial backports for 32-bit builds, but using older software carries security risks. Valve ceased support for Windows 7 SP1 x64 and Windows 8.x x64 in early 2024.

Google Pixel Ghost Apps Bug Plagues Models 7-10 in Android 16 Update

In late November 2025, Google Pixel users reported a "ghost app" issue where apps reopen without user intervention, affecting multiple models from Pixel 9 to Pixel 10. This problem has been linked to recent software updates and has been described as a systemic glitch. Users also reported "ghost touches" on older models like the Pixel 7, where screens register inputs without contact. Complaints include apps struggling to stay closed, overheating, and inconsistent performance, with theories suggesting bugs in Android 16 and issues with the Pixel's Tensor chips. A botched privacy update may have exacerbated the problem by throttling background processes. The ongoing reliability challenges have led to a significant erosion of user trust in the Pixel brand.

Windows Update will soon add app updates to its functionality

Windows Update is evolving to support individual application updates, moving beyond its traditional focus on system-wide updates. Microsoft plans to introduce a new orchestration platform that allows developers to implement software updates directly through Windows Update, streamlining the process and enhancing user experience. This integration aims to improve the efficiency and timeliness of updates for end-users.
