3 weeks ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

If you deleted the “inetpub” folder, which was created after Windows April 2025 Updates, you need to immediately bring it back, or your system will remain vulnerable to potential security threats. Microsoft told Windows Latest that the folder can be restored when you turn on the IIS service, or you can also use a new PowerShell script released on May 28.

3 weeks ago | bleepingcomputer.com | Mayank Parmar

Google's AI advancement is not slowing down, and we might be getting yet another powerful model codenamed "Gemini Kingfall."As spotted by users on X, Gemini Kingfall briefly appeared on AI Studio for approximately 20 minutes before it was taken down. While the details aren't available, Gemini Kingfall doesn't appear to be an update to the existing Gemini 2.5-Pro. Instead, it could be a new model, and early testing shows it could be a beast in coding.
ChatGPT prepares o3-pro model for $200 Pro subscribers

3 weeks ago | bleepingcomputer.com | Mayank Parmar

OpenAI is planning to ship an update to ChatGPT that will turn on the new o3 Pro model, which has more compute to think harder. ChatGPT currently offers o4-mini, o4-mini-high, GPT-4.5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1-mini, and o3 for $20 Plus subscribers. ChatGPT $200 Pro subscription has all of those plus an o1 Pro model, which offers more compute to think harder. o1 Pro is powerful, but feels outdated since we have a better o3 model in the lineup. However, this could change soon with the o3 Pro model.

Microsoft wants you to be on the right side of history and stop using Windows 10 as soon as possible because Windows 11 is not only better, but also safer and secure. That’s according to a new Microsoft advertisement on YouTube, which also encourages people (particularly business customers) to look for Intel vPro-powered Windows 11 PCs.Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025 and we all know it.

3 weeks ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

One of Windows 11’s best features is deeper Android and iPhone integration. While iPhone integration has some limitations, such as the lack of ability to mirror the screen, Android takes it to the next level. And it’s now possible to begin sharing your Android screen to PC from the Start menu. Previously, this feature worked via the Phone Link app only. For those unaware, Windows 11 May 2025 Update security update turned on a new Phone Link panel for the Start menu.
Windows 11 will throttle your CPU when you're away to boost battery life

3 weeks ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11 is getting a new feature that might help extend the battery life of your laptop or 2-in-1. No, we’re not talking about yet another AI gimmick. Instead, it looks like Microsoft is testing a new “User Interaction-Aware CPU Power Management,” which applies to the whole operating system. I noticed a reference to “User Interaction-Aware CPU Power Management” in a Microsoft blog post while I was looking for other things.
KDE's overdramatic campaign urges Windows 10 users to get Linux over Windows 11

3 weeks ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

KDE has launched a new “W10 for Exiles” campaign to encourage users to drop their plans for Windows 11 and immediately consider switching to Plasma if they’re stuck with Windows 10. This comes five months ahead of Windows 10’s end-of-support date, which is October 14, 2025. While it’s a pretty good time to campaign for Linux, KDE’s “W10 for exiles” is overdramatic, outright fearmongering and riding on the anti-Windows wave instead of promoting the benefits of open-source products.
Microsoft could help reduce unexpected audio or video playback in Chrome

3 weeks ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft is integrating a new permission policy into Chromium that might reduce unexpected audio or video playback when developers use the API. Modern browsers can already mute audio, but that won’t work when the media is already playing in a hidden iframe. Microsoft is hoping that its new permission policy will fill that gap and put an end to unexpected audio or video playback when browsing websites in Chrome, but the policy won’t be enforced. It’ll require developer assistance.

OpenAI's next foundational model is GPT-5, and the AI startup is hoping that the model will compete a little more with rivals. Speaking at the AI Summit in Mexico, two OpenAI representatives confirmed that GPT-5 is indeed coming and that it’ll be a lot better than the existing OpenAI models. OpenAI is still working on GPT-5 and doesn’t know how much it will cost, but it doesn’t look like it will be "that" cheap, likely referring to the existing GPT-4 model.
