When Windows 11 first launched, the taskbar wasn't exactly everyone's favourite upgrade. Over time, Microsoft has slowly patched its shortcomings, and the latest update introduces one of the most practical visual tweaks yet: a colour-coded battery icon that actually tells you what's happening at a glance.

If you've ever clicked "Update and shut down" on your Windows 11 PC only to come back later and find the screen still glowing — congratulations, you've encountered one of Microsoft's longest-running annoyances. It's the kind of bug that makes you question your sanity ("Did I click the wrong option?") and has been frustrating users for years — even decades, according to some reports.

When Microsoft tweaks something as small as update titles, you wouldn't think it could spark widespread outrage — but it did. And this time, surprisingly, Microsoft actually listened. After a flood of complaints from IT administrators, the company has confirmed that it's bringing back the familiar date format in Windows 11 update titles.

If your games or videos suddenly looked like someone slapped a red filter over them, you're not imagining things. Microsoft has confirmed a weird Windows 11 bug that caused certain videos and games to appear tinted red after recent updates. Thankfully, a fix is now rolling out with the October 2025 optional update (KB5067036) and will be included in the November Patch Tuesday as well.

For years, Windows users have rolled their eyes at a long-standing quirk: choosing "Update and Shut Down" only for the PC to restart instead. This behavior, which frustrated both Windows 10 and 11 users, has finally been acknowledged — and fixed — by Microsoft. Alongside that fix, the company is rolling out a new, more intuitive naming convention for Windows updates.
