Windows Weekly 902: Nothing to Declare

2 hours 12 minutes

Join Leo, Paul, and Richard on a potentially Spanish-adjacent episode! Patch Tuesday arrives and Microsoft finally admits that 24H2 is a thing. Plus, a discussion on Satya Nadella recently describing the LLMs behind Copilot and other AIs as a "commodity." In Xbox news, Microsoft finally reveals it's moving Halo to Unreal Engine, and it's renaming the tarnished 343 Industries after laying off much of that studio.

Windows 11

24H2 appears on the Microsoft Support site for the first time

22H2 gets its final cumulative update (same update as 23H2)

24H2 new features: Share local files from search results, Sign out moved to where it belongs, media controls on lock screen, Copilot Plus management in Settings > Account, etc. - 22H2/23H3 mostly the same

Paul is updating the Windows 11 Field Guide for 24H2 this month - the first several chapter updates are live

Dev and Beta: New builds right after 24H2 ships? Why not? And there are some interesting new features in the pipeline

New Canary build today as well

Passkeys are a joke in Windows 11 ... someday, they'll be less of a joke, but today is not that day.

Paul finally has a Lunar Lake laptop in-house. Or in-casa, one could say

Antitrust

Google is ordered to open up Android apps and the Google Play Store- Breathtaking.

DOJ is open to breaking up Google - even better

Web browser makers you've never heard of want the EU to add Microsoft Edge to the DMA list

Microsoft 365/AI/Dev

Microsoft announces major new features for OneDrive

Colored folders, yay, but will it fix the ensh*ttification?

.NET 9 Release Candidate 2 lands on schedule, no new features

RIP, Surface Duo

Xbox

Finally, Microsoft makes a good decision for Halo fans

Flight Sim 2024 will get a technical alpha on PC

Red Dead Redemption is coming to the PC on October 29

Diablo IV to be first Microsoft game enhanced for PS5 Pro
