Microsoft will pause optional non-security Windows updates
[ad_1] Specifically, Microsoft will suspend C and D updates, which are usually released during the third and fourth week of each month, respectively.

HP teases ‘next gen’ VR headset made with Microsoft and Valve’s help
[ad_1] The first Reverb wasn’t a revolution in design, but it did stand out with a sharp 2,160 x 2,160 pixels per eye.

Microsoft warns Windows users of two security holes already under attack
[ad_1] The flaws exist in the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library, which allows apps to manage and render fonts available from Adobe Systems.

Windows 10 UI updates have been spotted in a Microsoft promo video
[ad_1] The video depicts a File Explorer window that looks noticeably different than the one Windows 10 users are accustomed to, and there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it peak at a new calendar interface.

Sampler feedback, […]
Microsoft Teams update helps cut through the chaos of group calls
[ad_1] First up, real-time noise suppression. If you’ve ever been in a remote meeting where someone is typing loudly on their keyboard or has the radio playing nearby, you’ll know how distracting these background sounds can be.

The PlayStation 5 vs. the Xbox Series X: Which is more powerful?
[ad_1] The next generation of consoles is coming, with plenty of emphasis on how much power these things have — the better to render modern graphics.

Mixer’s new homepage showcases streamers it poached from Twitch
[ad_1] You can also expect refinements to Xbox One viewing. If you’re on some April Xbox One system update Insider rings, you can see emotes, Ember (highlighted) messages and subscriber badges in chat — common features in rival apps, but welcome all the same.

GitHub’s mobile app helps you manage code on the move
[ad_1] This unsurprisingly won’t let you edit code, and the feature set isn’t terribly complicated in the app’s current state. You’ll likely want to fire up your PC for some tasks.
