Windows 11 gets a faster File manager, a tighter security update, and a more customizable Start menu

Files, a popular third-party file manager for Windows 11, picked up version 4.1.3 with a set of small but useful upgrades. The update adds a dedicated "View size" button for folders when size calculation is turned off, keeps file selections highlighted when switching layouts, improves tag handling, and swaps in a new OneDrive icon. neowin.net

Microsoft’s June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 also bring a security hardening change for custom folders. After KB5094126 and KB5093998 are installed, folder customizations defined by desktop.ini will no longer appear when Windows treats the source as untrusted, including files from the internet with Mark-of-the-Web, some remote locations, and network paths outside trusted zones. neowin.net

Windows 11 is also gaining a more configurable Start menu in preview. Users can now turn off the Pinned, Recommended, and All apps sections individually, and the Recommended area can be tuned to show different combinations of recommended apps, recent files, and installed apps. windowscentral.com

Common questions on Windows 11, surfaced from across the indexed web.

What can GroDock do that the Windows 11 taskbar cannot?

Let me start by highlighting some of GroDock's more enticing customization options. You can position the bar along the top, bottom, left, or right side of your screen, and you can also choose icon alignment to be centered or off to the left or right of the bar. Icon sizes, taskbar transparency, mica effects, theme colors, text colors, Start button logo, and hex colors can all be tweaked to your liking. The clock is fully customizable, and in the most recent update, a calendar was added with a per-day agenda feature. Did I mention GroDock supports multi-monitor setups? Yes, you can choose which

Sick of Windows 11's taskbar? You need to give GroDock a try.
Why Windows 11 Pro?

First of all, Windows 11 Pro is smooth. Like, way smoother than its predecessors. The redesigned interface is clean, centered, and customizable, which is great for focus and flow. Plus, it comes with features that make multitasking feel like second nature: snap layouts, virtual desktops, and lightning-fast search tools. You get enterprise-grade features like BitLocker encryption, Windows Hello biometric login, and TPM 2.0 compatibility, all designed to protect your work, files, and peace of mind. And Windows Copilot AI is now baked in, meaning you can ask for help, automate tasks, summarize we

Is 8GB of RAM enough for a smooth Windows 11 experience?

I honestly wasn't expecting these tests to go as smoothly as they did. Having used PCs with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB RAM for so long, I thought surely 8GB would immediately pose problems. That's just not the case. Within reason, running Windows 11 on 8GB of RAM is not only viable but quite enjoyable. Assuming you're not attempting to run some specialized design software or a demanding game, there's quite a bit of memory runway to work with. An idle system might sit at around 3.8GB of RAM usage, but the remaining 4GB or so is apparently more than enough for general productivity, multitasking, strea

Windows 11 on 8GB of RAM isn't as bad as you think — I tested to find out the truth
Are there any differences between Windows 11 and Windows 10?

When asked whether there are any differences between the Secure Boot updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11, Microsoft replied in the negative. Windows 10 will continue to receive relevant security patches as part of Extended Security Updates until October, and the Secure Boot certificates are included in this. The only difference is that some older systems were not shipped with Secure Boot enabled by default or are running configurations that don’t send telemetry data to Microsoft. In this case, you will need to take some extra steps to obtain the certificates. It’s best to use the new indicat
