Why You Should Install Windows 11’s December 2025 Patch ASAP

Recent trends in cybersecurity emphasize the importance of timely security updates to protect sensitive data. Two significant vulnerabilities addressed in recent updates include one that allowed privilege escalation through the Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver and another that made GitHub Copilot for JetBrains susceptible to remote code injections. The KB5072033 update also includes bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements for Windows 11 users, such as recommendations to disable AI features like Recall for better performance and fixes for erratic behavior in the "Ask Copilot" extension. Additionally, it resolves an issue in the networking stack affecting external virtual switches and a visual glitch in File Explorer that caused a bright white flash when switching directories. However, a known issue with the new patch may make it difficult for some users to locate the password icon on the lock screen, which can be temporarily resolved by hovering the cursor over the area. Users can check for updates through the system tray or by navigating to Start > Settings > Windows Update.

Steam now warns players if Early Access titles haven’t been updated for a year

Valve has introduced a feature for Steam Early Access titles that displays a warning message at the top of the developer Q&A section, informing potential buyers of the last update date for the game. This notification appears if it has been more than 12 months since a build was assigned to the 'default' branch in Steamworks or since the developer posted an 'update' type event. The goal is to enhance transparency and communication between developers and players, addressing concerns about abandoned projects in Early Access.
