How to enable or disable search on desktop in Windows 11 build 25120 by Taras Buria Windows 11 build 25120 introduced a somewhat questionable new feature for Windows Insiders to test. The update places a permanent search bar on the desktop, and you can use it to search using Bing in Microsoft Edge. As of now, the desktop search is available for a limited set of Windows Insiders, which means not everyone can test it right away. Fortunately, there is a way to force-enable the desktop search on any computer updated to Windows 11 build 25120. Important: Desktop search in Windows 11 25120 is an early experimental feature Microsoft may remove or change in future Windows In…

Windows desktop search in build 25120 forces you to use Microsoft Edge by Usama Jawad We should probably be used to the concept by now, but it is still worth highlighting each time Microsoft forces users to utilize Edge instead of allowing people to use a browser of their choice. Windows Search is the most obvious offender in this regard. And this trend continues, perhaps unsurprisingly, with the new desktop search bar that Microsoft has introduced in its latest Windows 11 Dev Channel build. Build 25120 rolled out to the Windows 11 Dev Channel a few hours ago and its highlight is a new search experience that pins a search bar to the center of your desktop. While we're…

Report: Apple accessories will soon ditch Lightning and switch to USB-C 1 2

Report: Apple accessories will soon ditch Lightning and switch to USB-C by Usama Jawad A few months ago, the European Commission (EC) put forward a proposal saying that wired charging for most electronic devices should use USB-C as a standard. This includes smartphones, tablets, cameras, headphones, portable speakers, and handheld consoles. The motivation behind the move is that it will help reduce e-waste as consumers will just reuse old cables across different devices. Now, it seems that Apple has started gearing up for this switch. Over the past few days, several reports have emerged claiming that the iPhone will move to USB-C charging in 2023. This is primari…

Windows Server VNext Insider Preview build 25120 is now available by Steven Parker Microsoft has released a new build of the Windows Server Insider Preview. This month's build 25120 is now available to download as an ISO from the Windows Server Insider website along with a VHDX, but even though this uses the same underlying kernel as the Windows 11 Sun Valley 3 development, as per usual, there's no changelog to speak of, so it's unclear what's new. The branding for Server has not yet been updated and remains as Windows Server 2022 in the preview. In addition, Microsoft is asking Insiders to refer to these builds as vNext rather than Windows Server 2022 which is al…

Apple patents a Surface Book-like iPad with macOS by Taras Buria Like many other tech companies, Apple constantly patents various ideas and technologies, even though many never materialize in a consumer device. A device described in one of the recent Apple patents might also never see the light of day, but it shows that Apple considers all sorts of wild ideas, which often contradict what the company says publicly. A patent discovered by Patently Apple shows an iPad with a dock station that suspiciously resembles the now-abandoned Microsoft Surface Book. It features a detachable keyboard with "electromechanical keys," a trackpad, and a coupling mechanism that enables…

At last, Microsoft brings Teams to the Microsoft Store by Taras Buria Microsoft today fulfilled its promise to bring Teams to the Microsoft Store. More than five years since its introduction, Microsoft Teams is finally available for download from where it should have been from the very beginning. If you use Windows 10, you can download Teams from the Microsoft Store without any surprises. The company says Teams on Windows 10 works with work, school, and personal accounts. Confusingly, things are slightly different when you download Teams on Windows 11. Because Windows 11 has the built-in Chat app (that thing that sits on the taskbar by default and consumes quite a l…

Specs of the upcoming Nvidia GTX 1630 leak with launch date set for May 31 by Taras Buria A leak from reliable sources recently spilled the beans on a new upcoming entry-level graphics card from Nvidia. The company is about to unveil the GTX 1630, the first 30-series graphics card since 2017.

The new model reportedly has the 12nm TU117-150 die based on the Turing architecture that powers GTX 16 and RTX 20 lineups. It will rival integrated …

Faster Wi-Fi to bless Windows 11 Ryzen PCs with help from Microsoft's Wi-Fi Dual Station by Sayan Sen When AMD launched its Ryzen PRO 6000 series enterprise APUs, it promised faster and more responsive connectivity (image above).

CISA: Don't install Windows Patch Tuesday updates for May on Domain Controllers by Usama Jawad Microsoft patched a Windows Local Security Authority (LSA) spoofing vulnerability being tracked under CVE-2022-26925 with its latest Patch Tuesday updates. The high severity flaw enabled unauthenticated attackers to call a method anonymously and force the Domain Controller (DC) to authenticate them via NTLM. In the worst case, this could lead to elevation of privilege and an attacker taking control of your entire domain. Detailing this vulnerability is important because the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) had mandated that Federal Civilian Exec…
