Dev runs Windows 11 ARM on an iPad Air M2 using UTM with JIT, and it's decent

2 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Can you run Windows 11 ARM on an iPad Air M2? Yes, you can, but only via emulation, which isn’t bad given that the operating system is now optimised for ARM architecture. This isn’t a new discovery. It’s always been possible to run Windows 11 on unsupported devices, but it’s now much easier, partially due to EU regulatory changes.
Windows 11's secret End Task button for Taskbar is the best feature to try

4 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11 allows you to add an End Task button to the right-click menu on the taskbar. To do this, open Settings > System > For Developers, and toggle on “End Task.” But how does it work, and why do you even need it? Windows 11 is a fine operating system for most of us, but sometimes apps or games stop responding, and the title bar’s “close” button also doesn’t work.
Windows 11 File Explorer gets better theme accent support, progress bar looks darker

4 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11’s File Explorer has dark mode support, and it does look really nice (most of the time), but it’s not that good at adapting to the accent colour, especially the new “Home” section, which houses three sections: Recent, Favourite, and Shared. I noticed that the selection bar in File Explorer now supports OS accent, and the progress bar looks darker.
Windows 11's Notification Center finally has a clock with seconds

4 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2 are testing a feature that allows you to add a “Clock” with seconds to the Notifications Center. You’ll see a full-fledged clock when you tap the notifications icon or the time & date displayed in the system tray. You can turn on or off the feature from Settings > Date & Time > Show time in the Notification Center. But why has a basic feature like “Clock with seconds” been missing from the operating system for the past four years?
Microsoft fixes Chrome's washed-out (dull) HDR colours on Windows 11 24H2

6 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome may not always display accurate colours when you allow websites to capture your screen. This issue affects all versions of Windows 11, but Microsoft is now switching Chromium to WGC (Windows Graphics Capture), which fixes washed-out colours, but only for Windows 11 version 24H2+.
Windows 11 24H2 breaks SAP GUI (SAPLogon.exe) with ntdll.dll error (0xc0000409)

6 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11 24H2 KB5055523 has yet another bug that causes issues with SAP GUI. Previously, I found that this month’s security update breaks Windows Hello, but that’s not all, we’re also seeing reports of SAP GUI crashes, and Event Viewer shows an error in ntdll.dll with SAPLogon.exe, 0xc0000409 and 0x000b1c30 error codes. I asked Microsoft for more details, but I haven’t heard back from the company yet.
Windows 11 24H2 is now more stable with Nvidia driver 576.02

6 days ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

If your PC has an Nvidia GPU, we recommend downloading and installing the Nvidia driver 576.02 (GeForce) before trying Windows 11 24H2. If you’re already on Windows 11 24H2, you should still download the GeForce driver 576.02 because it really does make the operating system run better. Windows 11 24H2 has been available for almost a year, but it’s not stable for everyone, and you might run into serious issues on some PCS.
Microsoft Edge will auto-update PDF to Adobe Engine, won't kill off legacy PDF until 2026

1 week ago | windowslatest.com | Abhishek Kumar Mishra

Adobe’s PDF engine has been a part of Microsoft Edge for quite some time. The rollout for consumer devices began in early 2023, but businesses were not forced to use it. Microsoft has confirmed its plans to force everyone, including businesses, to use the Adobe PDF engine. In addition, Microsoft has delayed its plans to retire the legacy PDF engine. Managed devices, either those owned by businesses always had an opt-in option, but in September 2025, the mandatory rollout began.
Windows 11 24H2 crashes with BSODs after April 8 update, Microsoft rushes out fix

1 week ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft finally confirmed what Windows Latest reported in March 2025: a recent Windows 11 24H2 update bug is causing Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with stop error code “SECURE_KERNEL_ERROR.” This affects the last three releases: KB5055523, KB5053656, and KB5053598. Windows Latest first spotted the reports of BSOD SECURE_KERNEL_ERROR when Microsoft released March 2025 updates.
Windows 11 now lets you extract texts (OCR) from your screen without screenshots

1 week ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Windows 11 is finally taking one of the best features, “text extraction” of PowerToys, and adding it to the operating system’s inbox app – Snipping Tool. While the Snipping Tool has always allowed you to extract texts, the feature showed up only when you captured a screenshot and opened it in the Snipping Tool. Now, extracting text is part of the OS.
