Windows 11 Insider Release Preview Build 28000 delivers a cleaner Xbox mode for gaming and expands File Explorer archive support without requiring third-party tools. Input handling gets a practical upgrade with haptic feedback for compatible pens, a streamlined voice typing interface, and better Arabic keyboard options. Security tightens noticeably as Microsoft removes automatic trust for cross-signed drivers and adds batch file locks to stop mid-execution tampering. Routine quality fixes round out the release by speeding up startup apps, raising FAT32 formatting limits, and smoothing out Windows Hello reliability across upgrades.

The latest Windows 11 Release Preview patch delivers a practical mix of performance tweaks and hardware tracking tools that streamline everyday workflows. Task Manager finally exposes NPU usage metrics, multi-app camera support eliminates streaming conflicts, and shared Bluetooth audio routes sound to two paired devices without extra configuration. Storage dialogs now accept gigabyte inputs instead of forcing awkward megabyte math, while background indexing routines and unnecessary UAC prompts get streamlined to reduce routine friction. Microsoft is still pushing this update through a gradual rollout phase, so verifying the exact build number after rebooting ensures systems finish their housekeeping tasks before heavy workloads begin.

AMD has rolled out the Adrenalin Edition 26.5.2 driver update for Windows 10 and 11, bringing fresh game profiles for Forza Horizon 6 and 007 First Light alongside targeted stability tweaks. While the patch improves memory management on Radeon RX 9000 series cards, it also introduces several known crashes with titles like Battlefield 6, Subnautica 2, and Blender. Users running newer graphics hardware should expect intermittent application timeouts and texture flickering when using the built-in Record and Stream overlay feature. The safest way to apply or roll back this update remains using the AMD Cleanup Utility to strip corrupted configuration files before installing the new driver package.

UniGetUI 2026.1.10 drops a practical mix of bug fixes and interface tweaks that actually clean up the daily package management workflow. The update logging gets tighter, and the app now warns users when the winget host switches versions instead of silently breaking connections. Navigation bars finally handle long translations without overflowing, while Windows installers shrink in size and non-Windows builds gain system tray support. Stale entries after failed installs, accidental portable file deletion during updates, and broken elevation prompts all get patched so the tool stops wasting time on phantom packages.

Today's tech roundup covers a wide range of hardware and software reviews that highlight both promising innovations and noticeable compromises across different categories. The Klipsch Pro Media Lumina speakers sound decent enough, yet they completely lack the deep bass you would expect from a dedicated subwoofer. Cooling options are equally split this month since the GEEKTC paste spreads easily while Noctua delivers premium silence for hot days, but the PCCooler CPU cooler falls short on thermals and noise control despite its clean look. You will also find reviews of a sturdy Endorfy gaming chair, a high-end Keychron keyboard, the Directive 8020 video game, and an Asus motherboard that all present unique trade-offs worth considering before you buy anything.

Windows Terminal v1.24 finally cuts the sluggish store license check on startup to speed up launch times and stop random access errors. The update completely reworks mouse mode text selection so shift clicks behave predictably and absolute coordinates replace the old half cell guessing game. Custom tab titles now stick properly after sessions end, while a stubborn neovim window shrinking bug finally gets patched out of the codebase. A new configurable URL warning dialog joins several behind the scenes memory leak fixes that keep screen readers, large payloads, and malformed graphics from crashing your terminal.

Today's reviews roundup bring several new gadgets that bring distinct advantages to different workflows. The GEEKOM A7 Max handles office tasks efficiently but struggles with heavier gaming because its limited memory configuration restricts graphics performance, while Dell countered with a surprisingly fast XPS 16 model that pairs an elegant thin chassis with a brilliant OLED screen. Gamers seeking better peripherals should look into the GuliKit TT PRO and MAX controllers since they deliver precise tracking and extensive customization options across multiple platforms. Enterprise storage also saw major improvements as Memblaze introduced a QLC drive capable of exceeding three million random read operations per second.

The Open Shell Menu 4.4.198 pre-release finally patches two bugs that have been making the classic start menu feel broken on modern Windows. It stops the search bar from grabbing the wrong program before apps finish loading, which saves users from launching background processes by accident. The update also repairs the open and save file dialog window after Windows 11 updates caused it to freeze solid. Anyone tired of chasing UI trends should grab this version to restore stable shell integration without the usual bloat.

Visual Studio Code 1.119.1 arrives with essential security patches that close remote code execution vulnerabilities in webviews and Jupyter notebook markdown rendering. The update also repairs MCP deeplink installation failures and restricts sensitive file access within chat tools to prevent accidental data exposure. Users can safely install the new build over their existing setup, though testing terminal integrations afterward is a smart move. With the current endgame plan closed, the development team has already shifted focus to stabilizing the next feature branch.

NVIDIA just pushed GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.49 for Windows 10 and 11, primarily targeting the frame pacing stutter that breaks DLSS Frame Generation when V-Sync is turned on. The update also adds official DLSS and RTX optimizations for Forza Horizon 6, Directive 8020, and Subnautica 2, so those titles will load faster and apply the correct rendering paths automatically. Creative professionals will benefit from a quiet patch that finally stops the viewport flickering issue in Foundry Mari 7.0v2. Installing the driver through the standard express setup handles everything cleanly without forcing manual component selection or registry tweaks.

The May 2026 Security Update delivers 265 patches, with the bulk of the work focusing on Chromium browser hardening and critical Windows kernel fixes. High severity flaws in the TCP/IP stack and Win32k graphics subsystem are addressed to block privilege escalation and remote code execution attempts. Office components and Azure cloud services also receive important remote code execution patches that require a current servicing stack for smooth deployment. Users should install the update immediately, verify the new build number after reboot, and check Microsoft's known issues list to avoid unexpected deployment delays.

PeaZip 11.1.0 finally cleans up the messy Extract to context menu by grouping last output paths, bookmarks, and history into logical submenus instead of dumping everything in one flat list. The update pushes compression backends forward with 7z and p7zip moving to version 26.01 while baking in security patches that actually stop corrupted archives from causing headaches. Developers kept the software accessible for older systems by maintaining backward compatibility with Lazarus 3.x and 2.x alongside the new 4.x compiler build. Users who just want a faster right click extraction workflow will get exactly what they need without any forced cloud integrations or bloated settings panels.

The refreshed GEEKOM A9 Max packs serious AI processing into a tiny chassis, but reviewers point out one major flaw that limits its overall appeal. MSI addresses thermal needs with the MAG CORELIQUID A15 360, offering gamers a durable liquid cooler that features straightforward installation and subtle ARGB lighting. Digital artists can skip their laptops entirely since the 3DMakerPro Toucan handles all scanning operations independently without external hardware. Nextorage rounds out the roundup with a dependable PS5 compatible SSD that prioritizes steady read speeds over unnecessary marketing gimmicks.
