Hot Take:

Microsoft’s latest Patch Tuesday is here, and it’s like they just dropped a holiday gift bag filled with geeky delights. Not only are they patching holes in the Windows 11 fortress, but they’re also giving us a shiny new Start menu and battery icons that are more colorful than a box of crayons. And just when you thought your remote admin privileges were secure, they’re bringing a post-quantum twist to the party! It’s like Santa came early, but instead of cookies, he wants you to click ‘Check for Updates.’ Get ready to unwrap those digital goodies, folks!

Key Points:

  • Windows 11 KB5068861 and KB5068865 updates are mandatory for security and feature enhancements.
  • New Start menu UI lets you remove the Recommended feed, but may feel cluttered with default icons.
  • Battery icons now boast color indicators, providing at-a-glance charging status on the lock screen.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
