40 years ago today — on November 10th, 1983 — Bill Gates took the wraps off Windows 1.0, with the key features being tiled applications, dropdown menus, and a user-friendly interface. Microsoft didn’t officially start shipping Windows until 1985.
The Steam Deck’s initial Windows support lacked audio output before addressing that in May of last year, but we’ve been waiting for an update on dual-boot ever since.
Now, Valve designer Lawrence Yang told IGN in an email that “Dual-boot support (and SteamOS general install) is very high on the list for folks working on SteamOS.” However, those OS folks have been working on the new OLED version. Now that it’s here, players should expect “meaningful updates” in the coming year.
Sources tell Windows Central that Microsoft is planning to bring its AI Copilot assistant to the Windows 10 taskbar in a future update. If true, this could bring Copilot to a bunch more people, as Windows 10 currently has around 1 billion monthly active devices, as opposed to the 400 million with Windows 11.
A Microsoft engineer pointed out a nice feature in the October 18th Windows 11 Insider Canary channel build — the ability to share Wi-Fi access using a QR code from the Wi-Fi settings window.
As they point out in a second post, users can also go there to view their Wi-Fi password in the Windows 11 22H2 update — it was only in Control Panel before.
