Windows 10 and 11 Users Can Now Clean and Refresh Their PCs with Microsoft’s Free Tool

Microsoft has introduced PC Manager, a free, built-in tool for Windows 10 and 11 designed to optimize system performance without the need for third-party software. After testing in China, it has been rolled out globally. Key features include: - PC Boost: Automatically clears temporary files, reduces RAM usage, and terminates unnecessary processes. Smart Boost identifies and removes files over 1GB. - Deep Cleanup: Targets outdated system files, browser caches, and the recycle bin to free up storage. - Startup Management: Allows users to disable unnecessary startup programs to improve boot speed. - Process Management: Provides an interface to quickly identify and close resource-hogging processes. - Large Files Locator: Scans for oversized files to help manage disk space. PC Manager is available in multiple languages and is expected to receive updates based on user feedback.

Intel driver 23.100.0 adds improved Wi-Fi sensing to Windows 11 / Windows 10

Windows 11 and Windows 10 users can benefit from Intel's driver update version 23.100.0, which enhances Wi-Fi connectivity and improves the detection of Wi-Fi networks, particularly on Windows 11 devices like the Spectre. The update includes a new refresh button for Windows 11 24H2 users, although it does not significantly speed up detection. Windows 10 users do not have this refresh option. The update also optimizes Intel adapters for better performance with Wi-Fi 6 technology and includes various security enhancements. Users can obtain the update through Windows Update or the Driver and Support Assistant tool. Additionally, Microsoft has warned of potential BSOD issues for Windows 11 24H2 users with outdated audio drivers, advising the use of the latest drivers for improved performance.

Microsoft fixes scanner discovery glitch in Windows 11 24H2

Microsoft has resolved compatibility issues related to the Scanner Communication Language (eSCL) protocol that affected device discovery for scanners and fax machines on Windows 11 systems. The problem, which prevented devices from being discovered, was acknowledged by Microsoft and addressed in the KB5048667 security update released on December 10. Affected users may need to wait up to 48 hours to receive the upgrade to Windows 11 24H2, although restarting the device may expedite this process. The issue was caused by devices failing to transition from eSCL mode to USB mode, necessary for proper driver matching. The compatibility hold impacted various devices using the eSCL protocol, including printers and modems. Users were advised against manually bypassing the hold to ensure adherence to safeguards. With the fix, devices should now be recognized correctly during the discovery process.

Intel and AMD PCs finally get Microsoft Copilot+ features

Microsoft has introduced two Copilot+ features, Recall and Click to Do, for compatible Intel and AMD PCs, which were previously available only on select Arm-based laptops. Microsoft Recall captures user activity by taking screenshots at regular intervals, allowing AI to help users retrieve information like recipes and past conversations. This feature has raised privacy and data security concerns. Click to Do allows users to perform common tasks directly from screenshots, such as copying text or editing images. To use these features, users need a compatible processor with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), specifically Intel's Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V series) or AMD's Ryzen AI 300 CPUs. The rollout of these features is selective, and other applications leveraging the local NPU are currently unavailable. Users interested in trying Microsoft Recall and Click to Do must join the Windows Insiders program and install Build 26120.2510 from the Dev Channel, with the understanding that they may encounter bugs or incomplete functionalities.

Intel unleashes XeSS 2 for Arc GPUs with huge changes to speed up PC games, borrowing a few pages from Nvidia’s DLSS playbook

Intel has introduced XeSS 2, an advanced graphics technology aimed at competing with Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FSR. It features two main components: XeSS Frame Generation for adding frames to enhance gameplay smoothness, and XeSS Super Resolution. Additionally, Intel has launched Xe Low Latency to reduce input lag, similar to Nvidia's Reflex. XeSS 2 is exclusive to Intel's Alchemist and Battlemage GPUs, requiring developers to integrate support for these technologies into their games. Intel has also released a new control panel called 'Intel Graphics Software' for its Arc GPUs, which centralizes driver updates, game optimization, and performance monitoring. The new XeSS 2 technology is designed to work only with Intel hardware, marking a shift from previous compatibility with AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

Scaling Your Startup’s Data Infrastructure with PostgreSQL

Robust data infrastructure is essential for startup development as data requirements grow. PostgreSQL is a leading open-source relational database known for its scalability and comprehensive features. A Timescale survey indicates that 51.2% of users increased their PostgreSQL usage in the past year. PostgreSQL employs a multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) system and write-ahead logging (WAL) for data integrity and recovery. Vertical scaling enhances hardware capabilities, while horizontal scaling distributes loads across multiple servers through replication, partitioning, and sharding. High availability is achieved via replication and failover systems, with load balancing optimizing resource usage. Performance optimization techniques include regular indexing, query optimization, and routine maintenance. Monitoring tools like pgAdmin and Prometheus are crucial for maintaining database health and performance.
