Last September, Microsoft announced a revolutionary feature for its Windows 10 browser, Microsoft Edge. That feature, called Windows Defender Application Guard, is now available on the latest Insider Preview Build 16188 for PC that was released last week. What is the Windows Defender Application Guard and How Does it Work? Microsoft is using its Hyper-V…
Microsoft’s Build developer conference is underway in Seattle, United States. There were several milestones Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spoke about during his keynote address. First, Microsoft’s Windows 10 is now being used by 500 million devices every month. Windows 10 was launched in July 2015. Around October that year it went past 100 million, and by December…
Windows 10 Mobile has clearly been pushed to the sidelines as Microsoft pursues its device-agnostic agendum via the latest Windows 10 Redstone 3 build, which will theoretically be the platform on which the elusive Surface Phone will run. However, since Microsoft and Qualcomm are releasing their Cellular PC in the fourth quarter this year, that…
The question of Windows 10 Mobile being dead – or in its last days – have been denied by Microsoft, but there’s no question that updates are being pushed well after PCs get their new builds. In what can only be termed a confirmation of this dichotomy, Microsoft announced new builds for PC and Mobile…
According to several recent reports, Surface Phone could come with a foldable design. Being skeptics, we naturally want to put that claim to the test. And it doesn’t look too good. The latest reports from multiple sources showcase a patent granted to Microsoft that shows a foldable design for a smartphone and a multilayer display. Essentially, the…
As Windows 10 Creators Update gets ready for its release to manufacturing (RTM), many well-informed sources are now speculating that the most recent Insider Preview – Build 15063 – could be the pre-RTM release that everyone’s been waiting for. Per a screenshot shared by Windows Central Senior Editor Zac Bowden on Twitter, an option is…
If you’re among the 50.06% of desktop PC users that are still with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you’ve probably thought about doing an upgrade to Windows 10 at least a few times. Perhaps scary news about forced updates and other features kept you away from the free Windows 10 Upgrade; maybe you just didn’t have the…
We’ve been speculating on the release of Microsoft’s Surface Phone for several months now, but recent information suggest that the Redmond giant isn’t ready to launch it in 2017. The reason: a Microsoft ex-employee (employed by a contractor) says there are delays with Redstone 3, the major Windows 10 update that was expected to drop in…
We’ve known for a long time that Windows 7 has been the greatest challenge to Windows 10 adoption, but now there’s more validation of that. Last year, Microsoft said that it would restrict Intel’s Kaby Lake and AMD’s Ryzen processors to Windows 10. Yesterday, they confirmed what Windows 7 and Windows 8 users were afraid…
Microsoft should be in panic mode now that Windows 10 Creators Update is almost ready for release and Windows 10 adoption rates are still languishing at the 25 percent mark. As of February 2017, Windows 10 was installed on 25.19% of all desktop PCs – not much of an improvement from January 2017 figures. That…
Two devices from Microsoft have had everyone running around in circles since we heard about them: Surface Pro 5 and Surface Phone. While we maintain that Surface Phone won’t come out until Redstone 3 is released this fall, we could see Surface Pro 5 come within the next month or so. One of the signs…
With every new build that Microsoft releases to Windows Insiders, we’re getting that much closer to Windows 10 Creators Update. While some sources maintain that the new update will only come in April, there’s evidence from Dell that it could come this month – on March 30, when the Dell Canvas is released. Regardless of…
Have you ever run an all-night process on your Windows 10 PC and found your machine displaying a clean desktop for you in the morning, with no sign of your process being complete? Most of us have, at some point of time. Those days will soon be gone, as soon as Windows 10 Creators Update…
Since earlier today there have been images circulated in the media of what is supposedly a Surface Pro 5 photo leak by none other than Microsoft itself. Microsoft’s news website for France contains the following image of what could be the upcoming Surface Pro 5 2-in-1 hybrid device running Windows 10. An entry in a LinkedIn…
Project NEON has been talked about for quite some time now. It is a major design shift for Microsoft that will be coming to Redstone 3, which is the Windows 10 update that will come after Windows 10 Creators Update launches next month. Although some of the code from Project NEON is being incorporated into…
