Windows 10 may have officially reached end of support, but Microsoft has given eligible consumer PCs a longer security lifeline than originally expected. Microsoft's Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates programme, better known as ESU, is now set to run until 12 October 2027. That gives users with compatible Windows 10 devices more time to stay protected while deciding whether to upgrade to Windows 11, replace an older PC, or continue using their current hardware a little longer.

Microsoft is continuing to push deeper into artificial intelligence, even as some Windows 11 users remain unhappy with how heavily Copilot is being integrated into the operating system. At its annual Build event, the company showed that its AI ambitions are moving beyond laptops, desktops, and software. This time, Microsoft demonstrated a new wearable concept in the form of an AI-powered workplace badge.

Microsoft Edge has been going through a lot of visual changes over the past few years. Some users like the newer rounded design, softer interface, and modern Windows 11-style appearance. Others, however, prefer the cleaner and sharper browser layout where the webpage reaches the edge of the browser without an extra rounded border around it.

Microsoft has fixed a newly disclosed Windows BitLocker zero-day vulnerability that could allow an attacker with physical access to a device to bypass encryption protections and access sensitive data stored on the system drive.

Microsoft has released security updates for two important vulnerabilities affecting Windows Remote Desktop Protocol, better known as RDP. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-42908 and CVE-2026-45639, were addressed as part of Microsoft's June 2026 security updates.
