The 174KB enablement package will activate code delivered through earlier cumulative updates, while Point-in-Time Restore becomes enabled by default on eligible systems.

Windows 11 may delete laptop GPU drivers after weeks in Eco Mode

Windows 11 can silently remove a laptop’s dedicated graphics driver after the GPU remains disabled in Eco Mode for long enough. The cleanup process may treat the power-gated device as disconnected, delete its driver package, and leave the system using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter when the GPU is re-enabled.

Ubuntu 24.04 gets a big open-vm-tools update

A major update to open-vm-tools, a package that integrates Linux virtual machines with VMware hypervisors, is rolling out to users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. “Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more recent hypervisors”, Canonical’s Lena Voytek explained in a backport request. It’s a full backport from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS to support platform enablement to benefit those running 24.04 LTS. The open-vm-tools package enables clock sync with the hypervisor host, ‘graceful’ power management for clean shutdowns, vSphere API/snapshot quiescing and is what relays guest OS stats back to the hypervisor for tracking disk space usage, etc. If […]

Microsoft’s leaked Project Aion tried to replace Windows with Copilot

Leaked Microsoft documents and video reveal Project Aion, a working Copilot-only operating system that replaced the Windows desktop with an AI-driven web shell. Designed for PCs and potentially Android-based devices, Aion abandoned the Start menu and Win32 apps in favor of task-focused conversations, while Microsoft’s current priorities suggest the project is unlikely to ship.

Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ hits feature freeze

Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed ‘Stonking Stingray’, has just hit feature freeze (as of August 24). From this point onwards, development focus shifts from landing major changes to improving them, along with the rest of the package set, ahead of the final, stable Ubuntu 26.10 release in October. “Ideally, you should all now be focusing on bug fixing rather than getting new features into the release”, said Paride Legovini, engineer at Canonical, in a post on the Ubuntu developer mailing list. However, the final makeup of Ubuntu 26.10 – which will offer GNOME 51, more Rust tooling and GPU driver management in […]
