Windows 11

More context

The Windows 11-related chatter in these headlines is mostly indirect: discussions focus on Windows versions broadly (end-of-support for Windows 10, old XP nostalgia, XP/Starter mentions) and Windows compatibility/workflows (WSL2 audio, path separators, Plex playback on Windows). There’s also practical Windows admin/deployment talk (migrating older Windows Server, LAN messaging app, homelab plans).

Windows 11 sees a new update bug, a new exploit, and Microsoft’s Copilot key fix

Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the latest Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 that can stop some users from downloading and installing important updates, with Windows Update throwing error 0x80010002. The issue does not affect every Windows 11 user, but it adds another reliability problem to a security-critical update cycle. neowin.net

More urgently, Windows 11 is facing a new exploit for a long-standing Windows LPE vulnerability. That makes immediate security response the top priority, especially for users who depend on default protections and timely patching. neowin.net

Microsoft is also working on usability and deployment fixes around Windows 11. It is preparing a way to remap the Copilot hardware key to the Right Control key, and it has made mandatory Windows 11 updates easier to install with centralized Secure Boot deployment scripts. neowin.net

What do Windows Central readers think about AI in gaming?

Copilot for Gaming on PC has also seen a change, becoming a confusing mixture of "Game assist," "Microsoft Edge Game Assist," or both; I can't figure out the reasoning. I plan to revisit Microsoft's gaming AI on PC in the near future to see how (if at all) it has improved since my last test, but in the meantime, I was more interested in what our readers think of AI in gaming. I wasn't just interested in the Xbox and mobile implementations of AI; I asked about opinions on literally any form of AI assistance in gaming, whether it be built-in helpers queried with voice or text, AI monitors that s

Does AI have a place in gaming? I asked our readers how they think it can be used properly.
