July 09, 2025Windows Weekly 940: The Donkey Always Wins
It's been a big year for Windows 11 updates. This month is at least semi-manageable! Also, a few more bits from the layoffs. Plus, Amiga Forever 11 and C64 11 Forever help you live in the past!
Patch Tuesday
Copilot+ PC only: Ask Copilot action for Click to Do

24H2 only: Show smaller Taskbar icons. Screen curtain feature in Narrator. Settings home page for commercial customer

23H2 and 24H2: Windows Share shows preview when sharing web content. Beginning of PC migration feature in Windows Backup. More changes for EU users to meet DMA requirements, mostly Edge related

Xbox and gaming
No, Phil Spencer is not retiring

Romero Games forced to cancel Xbox shooter, lay off 100 employees

Warcraft Rumble Mobile won't get any more updates

Xbox angst in the wake of last week's layoffs is mostly undeserved

Xbox fans keep finding new ways to complain - Most of the game/studio closures we know about were well-deserved. If anything, Microsoft let these things continue for too long with no viable deliverables

But what is Xbox? Looking at the platform and what Microsoft has done under Phil Spencer paints a very different picture than all the moaning we see on social media

Game Pass was key to getting Satya Nadella to keep Xbox going, but after the Activision acquisition, the day and date promise was unworkable. After the changes and price hikes, it's possible that Game Pass has peaked.

Microsoft uploaded an out of date version of Call of Duty: WWII to the Store and hilarity ensues

Sony to publish a game for Xbox for the first time
