January 21, 2026WW 967: 2nd-Generation Bonobos - Windows 11 Gets Emergency OOB Update!
This week, the hosts go deep on out-of-band updates, unwanted "innovations," and the uneasy cost of tech's latest gold rush. Plus, securing a Microsoft account is not as hard as some think, and neither are passkeys once you get past the jargon. And for developers, AI Dev Gallery offers a fascinating glimpse at what you can do for free with AI used against a CPU, GPU, or NPU.
Windows 11
Microsoft issues an emergency fix for a borked Windows Update. Right. A fix for a fix.

Hell freezes over, if only slightly: Microsoft quietly made some positive changes to forced OneDrive Folder Backup. Donʼt worry, itʼs still forced (and appears to be opt-in, but isnʼt). But you can back out more elegantly. So itʼs opt-out, not opt-in, but a step forward. Plus, a new behavior

Windows 11 on Arm PCs can now download games from the Xbox app (previously only through the Insider program)

Over 85 percent of Xbox games on PC work in WOA now

Prism emulator now supports AVX and AVX2 and Epic Anti-Cheat, and there is a new Windows Performance Fit feature offering guidance on which titles should play well.

Beta: New 25H2 build with account dialog modernization, Click to Do and desktop background improvements. Not for Dev, suggesting itʼs about to move to 26H1

Notepad and Paint get more features yet again. Notably, these updates are for Dev and Canary only, suggesting these might be 26Hx features (then again, versions don't matter, right?)
AI
Just say no: To AI, to Copilot, and to Satya Nadella

Our national nightmare is over: You can now (easily) hide Copilot in Microsoft Edge

ChatGPT Go is now available worldwide, ads are on the way because of course

Wikipedia partners with Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, more on AI
Xbox & gaming
January Xbox Update brings Game Sync Indicator, more

Solid second half of January for Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft will likely introduce a free, ad-supported Xbox Cloud Gaming tier because of course

January 14, 2026WW 966: You Can't Spell Gmail Without AI - Is Microsoft's AI Strategy Doomed to Burst?
Satya Nadella gave up much of his CEO duties in 2025. Are we on the cusp of a new CEO? And does some money manager/political duo like Amy Hood and Brad Smith actually make more sense in this role than an engineer-type for the modern Microsoft?
Microsoft is trying to win our hearts and minds on AI
After spending three years trying to jam AI down our collective throats, Microsoft has only met resistance. Now, the real marketing begins

Governments and regulators: Microsoft will build out its AI infrastructure by actually paying for it and respecting the communities in which this happens

Customers: Satya Nadella is blogging, and he wants us to stop complaining about AI. He's the wrong messenger
Windows 11
First Patch Tuesday of 2026 brings security and bug fixes but no new features

IDC says that PC sales rose 8.1 percent in 2025, warns again about 2026

The good & bad of Paul's Panther Lake laptop

Dell doesn't sell any PCs to consumers so it obviously has opinions about why consumers don't buy PCs for AI

Microsoft will soon retire its Lens mobile app
AI
Apple predictably partners with Google to bring Gemini to Siri

Samsung correctly points out we're all using AI already so there's no reason to complain about it

We can't trust AI, so Microsoft is letting Copilot go shopping with our credit cards

We can't trust AI, so OpenAI is giving ChatGPT access to our private health data

Gmail is getting more AI because email is the low-hanging fruit of data collection

January 07, 2026WW 965: Almost Meat - CES 2026 Laptops, Processors, AI, & Robots!
PC makers are shaking up CES with wild designs and next-gen chips, but the real story is Microsoft's bold software moves, AI's hardware hunger, and a candid debate over whether any tech company still puts users first. Come for the Windows updates, stay for the whisky warnings and robot bathroom assistants.
CES 2026 is here with the 4K hummingbird feeder of your dreams
New PCs and more from HP consumers/commercial, HP gamers, Lenovo, others

The first official Copilot+ PC desktops

Snapdragon X2 Plus joins X2 Elite and X2 Elite Extreme

Intel Panther Lake has meaningful CPU and graphics performance gains, but predictable reliability issues

AMD Ryzen AI 400 series is a minor bump
Windows
Paul was the first to report that Microsoft is refactoring it all with Rust

A Microsoft distinguished engineer wrote about his desire to refactor all C/C++ code in the company with Rust by 2030

Some mistook this to mean "rewriting Windows with Rust,ˮ so he had to issue a clarification. But I never wrote that.

Heads-up: That will happen, but this is really about Azure first and the core underlying code in Microsoftʼs most important platforms

Microsoft released hardware-accelerated BitLocker in late 2025 and never told anyone. It requires the latest PC CPUs

Copilot app update that adds text editing actions to Copilot Vision across channels

Dev and Beta got first previews of AI agents on the Taskbar, starting with the Researcher agent, plus underlying Agent Launchers experience

IDC says the global memory shortage (thanks, AI!) could screw up PC and smartphone growth this year

December 28, 2025 WW 964: Happy New Year! - Paul & Richard Get Toasty by the Fire
This isn't your usual Windows Weekly. Pour a glass and settle in as Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell ditch the headlines for whisky-soaked tech stories, behind-the-scenes Microsoft confessions, and the unexpected joys (and disasters) of vintage hardware. These are the tales you only hear when the mics are (almost) off.

December 17, 2025WW 963: I've Got an Apple Guy - Windows 11's Best Updates of 2025!
We were inundated with new Windows features in 2025, but which ones actually moved the needle? Fortnite isn't just back on iPhone and Android, it's available on Windows 11 on Arm, and it works great! Plus, 2 big mobile wins for Epic Games and some thoughts on the "right" way to roll out AI features.
Windows 11
Best Windows 11 updates of 2025, in no particular order...

Dark mode improvements to File Explorer

Widgets major overhaul with separate widgets and Discovery feed

Xbox Full Screen experience - especially good on handhelds, of course, but also any PC you use for gaming with a controller

Click to Do (Copilot+ PC only)

External fingerprint reader support for Windows Hello ESS

-External/USB webcams supported by Windows Studio Effects (Copilot+ PC only)
Quick Machine Recovery is the tip of a wave of new foundational features like Admin Protection, Smart App Control (updates), and more that go beyond surface-level look and feel

Redesigned Start menu isn't perfect but it's a nice improvement

Copilot Vision, though this type of thing may make more sense on phones

AI features in Paint, Photos, Notepad, and Snipping Tool

Natural language interactions like the agent in Settings, file search, and more (mostly Copilot+ PC only, but you can do this in Copilot as well)

Bluetooth LE support for improved audio quality in game chat, voice calls

Gaming on Windows 11 on Arm and Snapdragon X: Major steps forward, but the same issue as always

Looking ahead to 2026: 26H1, Agentic features that work, potential Windows 12, and AI PCs
AI
An extensive new interview with Mustafa Suleyman confirms why this guy is special and how confusing it is that Copilot is so disrespected

Microsoft Copilot is auto-installing on LG smart TVs and there's no way to remove it

GPT-5.2 is OpenAI's answer to Gemini 3

ChatGPT Images is OpenAI's answer to Nano Banana Pro

Disney invests $1 billion OpenAI, sues Google

Opera Neon is now generally available for $20 per month

AI is moving quick as we all know but the bigger issue may be the incessant marketing about features like agents that don't even work now

Microsoft is getting pushback on forced Copilot usage, price hikes

Google is expanding its use of "experiments" outside of mainstream products with things like NotebookLM, Mixboard, CC, and much more. Maybe this is the better approach: Test separately and then integrate it into existing products

Oddly enough, Microsoft does have a Windows AI Lab for this kind of experimentation

Many small models vs. one big LLM in the cloud
Mobile
Fortnite is back in the Google Play Store in the U.S. as Google plays nice

Apple loses its contempt appeal, the end of "junk fees" (Apple Tax) is in sight
Xbox and gaming
Xbox December Update has one big update for the mobile app and one big update for Xbox Wireless Headphones

There's a new Xbox Developer Direct coming in January

Half-Life 3 may really be happening, but it will be a Steam Machine launch title so it could be a while
Tips & picks
Tip of the year: De-enshittify Windows 11

App pick of the year: Fortnite

RunAs Radio this week: Zero Trust in 2026 with Michele Bustamante

Brown liquor pick of the week: Lark Symphony No. 1

December 10, 2025WW 962: Peak Bloat - The Last Patch Tuesday of 2025
December 2025's Patch Tuesday brought major shifts, but the real action is in Microsoft's pricing, privacy battles, and the arms race to control AI-enabled browsers. Plus, Paul recommends Tiny11 Builder for a clean install, or Win11Debloat for an existing install. Then, Rufus to create installation media without the forced Microsoft account (MSA) sign-in or hardware requirement checks. Use MSEdgeDirect to use the default web browser for stories from Widgets, web-based search results, etc. And ExplorerPatcher can fix the performance and reliability issues in File Explorer.
It's the final Patch Tuesday of 2025
Major dark mode updates (with a fix for the "flashbang" problem)

AI Agent in Settings, Click to Do, Windows Studio Effects, and Search improvements for Copilot+ PCs

Many other improvements: FSE, Share, Settings, Widgets, more
More Windows 11
New 25H2 preview build on Beta/Dev adds MCP public preview, Quick Machine Recovery auto-enabled, Unified Update Orchestration Platform, Windows MIDI services
Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is getting a lot more expensive in mid-2026. You didn't think all those free AI updates were free, did you?
AI
Paul has been talking about "programmatic" apps and services because he wasn't sure of a term for this type of interaction. But there is a term for this: Semantic. As in semantic web. And there you go

Microsoft one of 1,000 companies partnering on Agentic AI Foundation because you're getting agents whether they work or not

Gartner says NO to AI web browsers

The New York Times is suing Perplexity for all the obvious reasons

Can the AI boom survive its own hype? This episode takes on the future of OpenAI, tech's subscription fatigue, and why "Made with AI" labels might be the new scarlet letter. Plus, Microsoft's ugly sweaters are back for some reason.
Windows 11
Week D comes a week late and in the wrong month, but it's a big one, and a preview of what to expect next week in Patch Tuesday

More pervasive dark mode

Copilot+ PC exclusives: Improvements to Click to Do, Windows Search, Windows Studio Effects, Agent in Settings

Expansion of FSE availability

Improvements across Settings, Share, File Explorer, Desktop Spotlight, more

Aluminium OS is the name of the ChromeOS/Android Frankenstein that will take on Windows

Android 16 QPR2 is here with about 1,000 new features and maybe a saner approach to OS updating than what we see on Windows
AI
AI slop is no enshittification: Human error is still a much bigger issue

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is right: The "Made with AI" label is silly and needs to go

OpenAI declares a "code red" after Google finally figured out AI

Opera quietly does an about-face on AI in its browsers

Opera Neon gets one-minute deep research, Gemini 3, and Nano Banana

November 26, 2025WW 960: Snow & Claus - Windows 11 & Agentic AI
Pavan Davuluri only spoke at one Ignite 2025 session, and it did not deserve the hate he got. But what did he really say?
Copilot is a front-end for apps and cloud AI services, agents are background processes.

Apps in Windows need to become programmatic so AI and agents can control them.

You are in control. You being IT and the user. These experiences are off by default, opt-in, and optional. This is the end of whatever BS argument anyone has about this stuff.
Copilot Voice because AI is better when you babble and is often more natural than typing
Key concept: Apps, CLIs, etc. expect exact commands, AI is all about intent, just do what I want, not exactly what I say. This is why, yes, people WILL want to talk to their PCs (and other devices)
UIs for these new features will look/feel natural in Windows
Search box in Taskbar is getting updated to orchestrate between local/web search and Copilot capabilities, including agents

Agents will appear as app icons in Taskbar when fired, can be check in on, can post notifications for you to attend to

Integration of M365 Copilot capabilities with Windows - Better together story, with things like Writing Assistance for every text box

Accessibility updates thanks to AI - Fluid Dictation, which is what makes Copilot Voice make so much sense

All the security, privacy, and IT management the audience expects
Windows Insider Program
Dev and Beta builds include Full Screen Experience on all PCs, new Notepad app, more
Hardware - Earnings
Lenovo PC business up 12 percent to $15.1 billion, 25.6 percent unit share

HP up 4 percent to $14.6 billion, but job cuts for AI are coming

Dell PC business up 3 percent to $1.41 billion
AI and Stuff
Microsoft releases local Fara-7B agentic model for computer use

ChatGPT's new coding model is optimized for Windows

Dear God, you must see Nano Banana Pro to understand Google's lead

Google is bringing AirDrop to Android, starting with Pixel. This is what happens when regulators "force design changes on OS makers."
Xbox and Gaming
Xbox Cloud Gaming usage is up 45 percent YOY. Sure. What's 45 percent of 3 people?

Xbox Cloud Gaming is adding per-game resolution settings, to 1440p for Game Pass Ultimate customers

ROG Xbox Ally is getting default game profiles, in preview for 40 titles now

Microsoft open sources the source code for Zork, Zork II, and Zork III

November 12, 2025WW 958: Personal Turkey - Will Valve's Steam Machine Make a Splash?
Windows 11 just got its most noticeable Start menu revamp in a while, but is it a productivity boost or just more Microsoft meddling? The team digs into Patch Tuesday's big surprises and whether generative tools are transformative essentials or just a passing fad.
