Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well.
Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident.
Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed.
New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives.
ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability.
New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software.
A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers.
There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed.
Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
