Deep within Windows is an important API named WinVerifyTrust() learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wi… that performs trust verification of objects like certs, signatures, cert chains, timestamps, revocation lists/end-points and more. If you use WVT() in your code, you will be happy to know it now performs validation of certificates using ML-DSA, which if you do not know, is the post-quantum replacement for ECDSA and RSA signatures. I have some C code up at github.com/x509cert/PQC-Stuf… you can look at - and the image below is sample output from Windows 11 Insiders (Build 28120).

Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) reached the end of extended support on April 14, 2026. Time to move to supported, cloud-native options! Most workloads: BitLocker, App-V, recovery & GPO control are covered by @MSIntune, @msftsecurity & @Windows 11. 🚀 ➡️ New blog: msft.it/6013v5wPU #MSIntune #MicrosoftSecurity

AI is great, but choice is greater. Adding “-ai” to your query on Bing will now suppress AI summaries, and we’ve launched a browser extension to allow you to toggle it on/off for all your queries. I’d love to hear your feedback about how this impacts your overall experience.

We are literally about to build super intelligence before Microsoft ever figures out how to fix this

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004 copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

Windows is so irritating. I’m literally on my way out of the office, just trying to shut down my system, and suddenly Windows decides now is the perfect time to force a mandatory update. No option to skip, no “remind me later.” So there I am, standing around while everyone else has already left. These updates show up every two days, and I hate it. I’ve never once seen a genuinely useful feature added. Instead, every update brings at least one brand-new bug .. like it’s a subscription service for inconvenience. Windows 7 was cool, man. 2 GB RAM and peak life experience. Now it lags on 8 GB.

JavaScript creator warns against “rushed web UX over native” as Windows 11 leans harder on WebView2 and Electron. "As a b2g (FirefoxOS) cofounder, also connected to webOS folks in the day, I'm against bloat due to rushed use of Web UX over native," JavaScript legend Brendan Eich said. "It can be done right; it takes time." All popular Windows apps are either using WebView2 (which is based on Chromium) or Electron. Worse, Microsoft is also adding WebView2 to the Notification Center on Windows 11. This needs to stop. Bring back native apps! Use web tech only where it's required, and do it the right way.

Do you use Microsoft Copilot?

Have you ever purchased an App from the Windows Store? (Please RT for distribution)

👋 @ariaupdated maybe you can shed some light here: it's not clear how we can deploy FoD on-prem, is this still true now that we have UUP: "Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is not supported as a source for FoD" learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wi…

Anyone really uses @Copilot with M365 to assist with day-to-day tasks? I tried for the first time to ask it to summarize an Excel file, and wow, the result was terrible
