2 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 10 KB5058379 is now available, and it barely has anything new for me to point out, which is not surprising given that the support ends on October 14. You can install the patch from Settings > Updates & Security > Windows Update. Of course, Microsoft has posted direct download links for KB5058379 offline installers (.msu) on Update Catalog.

It’s finally official (sort of) that Google is planning to release Gemini in Chrome for Windows 11 (and Windows 10). We have been reporting about Gemini Live integration in Google Chrome for a while now, and a slide deck from Google’s antitrust trial finally confirms the integration is real. As noticed by Megan Grey on X and verified by Windows Latest, a slide deck from the U.S. and Plaintiff States v.

Windows 11 KB5058411 is now rolling out to everyone on Windows 11 24H2 with a handful of AI features, including Recall. This is a mandatory security update available via Windows Update, but Microsoft has also posted direct download links for KB5058411 .msu offline installers, so you can install it even when Windows Update fails. KB5058411 is a mandatory security update, so it’s supposed to download and install automatically whether you like it or not.

3 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11 24H2 FAQ (frequently asked questions) page is rolling out to testers in the Insider Program, and it will begin rolling out for regular users in the coming weeks. The new FAQ section, located inside the System > About page, tells if the GPU memory is sufficient to play high-end games, and it also explains why RAM matters. We’ve been reporting about the new FAQ page for a while now, but it wasn’t available for everyone until recently.
Microsoft shows off radically different Start menu in Windows 11, but it won't ship

3 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

There’s a new Start menu coming to Windows 11 with an iOS-like Categories feature, and an option to remove the ‘Recommended’ content feed. In addition, you can access Android or iPhone’s content directly from the Start menu, but do you know Microsoft experimented with several radically different Start menu designs before finalising the update? Start menu has been redesigned dramatically five times since its debut in Windows 95. With Windows XP, Microsoft added a two-column layout.
Windows 11: Microsoft is adding Ask Copilot to right-click menu, how to remove it

3 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

If you right-click on a file or an image, you’ll soon see an option “Ask Copilot”, which uploads the selected item to the Copilot app. To remove “Ask Copilot” from the context, you need to modify the Registry and create a new string value, which simply hides the Copilot entry in the right-click. To apply the changes, you need to restart explorer.exe.
Microsoft plans to innovate File Explorer on Windows 11 with AI Actions

4 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft is testing a new feature that will add AI to File Explorer on Windows 11, but the nature of the integration remains unclear. I am not surprised by this announcement. We have been reporting on Microsoft’s plans to integrate Copilot into File Explorer for months now, but the idea was never confirmed until now. I’ll get into more details later, but let’s first take a look at what Microsoft announced.
Windows 11 tests "Advanced Settings" for greater control over File Explorer and more

4 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft may be planning to rebrand the existing ‘For Developers’ settings as ‘Advanced Settings’ to integrate features not really meant for just developers. In a recent Windows Server build, there’s a new Advanced Settings page, which replaces the For Developers page, and allows you to enable “long path” in File Explorer and more.
Windows 11 Microsoft Store tests Copilot integration to increase app downloads

6 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft Store is not missing out on the AI wave, and it’s deeply integrating Copilot. While the app store already has an AI-powered “Hub” section, Copilot integration makes it more interesting. In our tests, Windows Latest noticed that the Copilot button automatically shows up when we view product pages, but it simply opens the Copilot app.

6 days ago | windowslatest.com | Abhishek Kumar Mishra

The new Outlook was in the spotlight last week when Microsoft announced two new changes regarding the switch behaviour with the old Outlook. Now, Microsoft wants to introduce offline support for Calendar, so you can change events even when you aren’t connected to the internet. Windows Latest first spotted the entry 490059 on the official Microsoft 365 roadmap page.
