    Microsoft is killing support for running Android apps on Windows 11

    Well, now you finally get it: "Again, running your competitor's apps is not a viable, long-term solution. It's actually an admission that you are in decline and are desperate for new apps. As more devs see that "I can get Android users and Windows users with a single Android app", the...

    I actually hate the new Outlook for Windows

    The webapps are just terrible, they are really clasping at the bottom of the barrel here to scrounge up some profits. I've had to migrate almost all my email address onto a laptop as I can no longer use my 950XL as an email client. The mail app has a limit of how many accounts you can add and...

    YouTube for Windows Phone is apparently getting updated soon (👀?!)

    It was a [dumb] and a very costly mistake too... damn short sighted bean counters... throwing away millions and potentially billions of profit - as after all with the Universal Windows App Platform and Continuum. The Opportunity that Microsoft lost is this: Millions of people and a hell of...

    Celebrity Obituary thread

    Wow, surprised no one has posted about the comedic talent Andre Braugher, most probably well known as the "insufferable" Raymond Holt from Brooklyn 99. He was a comedic genius imo. He passed, aged 61...

    Apple set to beat Microsoft in the consumer AR market

    Macrumours are hardly a unbiased source lol 😅. Most people don't realise how much hinges on UWA... I guess Microsoft's bean counters don't either.

    Can I make Windows automatically use integrated graphics when on battery or USB-PD?

    Hmm, I see unfortunately I don't have much experience with W11 on laptops. My hp probook 4730s is not supported officially, though I planning to get a ssd for cheap on black friday sales and installing W11 then. I'm presuming you have all the relevant AMD and Nvidia control panel software...

    You can run Windows 11 without TPM if you have Microsoft's approval

    Yes, download the W11 ISO from Microsoft then do a clean install with the bootable usb created using the media creation tool or rufus. Link: Download Windows 11

    Can I make Windows automatically use integrated graphics when on battery or USB-PD?
