No, it's not you. Windows Hello doesn't work in the dark anymore. For reasons. Say "Hello" to the Windows Hello controversy of the month!
Windows
- AI agent in Settings and Recall export experience in Dev/Beta channels - plus the old clock is back, baby
- July Patch Tuesday preview: App defaults (EEA only), Share images with visual preview, and some fixes for Windows 11 (The first one is coming to Windows 10 too - tied to the DMA news from last week.)
- Commentary: What Apple gets right in macOS 26 (and otherwise)
Surface
- One year with Surface Laptop 7
- Microsoft issues its first firmware updates for Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 in several months, sort of
Microsoft 365
- BBB complains about how Microsoft promotes Microsoft 365; Microsoft disagrees but will change the way it communicates about these features
AI
- OpenAI, Microsoft, and... the nuclear option??
- The Open AI Files provides an insider view of the company and finds it lacking
- Copilot Vision is GA in the United States - It's also free to try on mobile
- The Browser Company starts explaining Dia, finally
Xbox and Games
- Microsoft announces (extends?) partnership with AMD on future Xbox hardware - a one minute video with plenty to parse
- Next-gen hardware
- Multi-year partnership with AMD on Xbox consoles and gaming handhelds
- Compatibility with existing game libraries
- Working closely with the Windows team, ensure Windows is the number one games platform
- Microsoft shares Xbox Ally details with devs, a hint at the coming Windows-based Xbox platform requirements?
- More Game Pass titles for June, including an old favorite
- Minecraft gets three great updates
- Steam will run natively on Apple Silicon soon. Unlike all the games.
Tips and Picks
- Tip of the week: Don't give in
- App pick of the week: Camtasia online
