Windows 11

More context

Most of the discussion centers on personal Windows 11 experiences—custom desktops, cursor packs, and practical user-profile/upgrade concerns—while a security-specific thread highlights Memory Integrity being disabled after a fresh install. A secondary cluster debates Windows versions/legacy (Windows 3.1, Windows 10/12) and installer/media details (Windows 10 ISO sizing).

Windows 11’s Start menu gets deeper customization as Microsoft keeps refining the shell

Microsoft is rolling out new Windows 11 preview changes that let users enable or disable major Start menu sections, including pinned apps, recommendations now labeled “Recent,” and the All Apps list. The update also allows a fully blank Start menu state, or a nearly blank one with only the Pinned section left in place. neowin.net

The build that introduces these options is 26300.8553, released on May 29, 2026. It marks another step in Microsoft’s effort to address long-running complaints about Windows 11’s Start menu and taskbar behavior. neowin.net

Windows on Arm is also getting a new flagship push with Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra, which uses Nvidia’s Arm-based RTX Spark chip and up to 128GB of unified memory. The device pairs that platform with a 15-inch mini-LED PixelSense Ultra display, a large haptic touchpad, and “all-day battery,” and it is set to ship this fall. xda-developers.com
