I dont think thats a bug. Go to folder options, select the file types tab. Now select the type of file that it happens on, click on advanced and check confirm open after download. That should fix it :)

These are beta updates to test out the DELTA Patching feature of MSI 3.0 that is included in SP2 Beta.

If you are having trouble with patching the uxtheme.dll use this program.

Replacer

Replacer is an easy to use system file replacer for 2K/XP. It is used to replace protected or in use system files without any hassle. Replacer will also make a backup of the system file before replacing. No need to kill explorer, no need to clear any Windows File Protection messages, no need to go into the DllCache or ServicePackFiles, and no need to reboot (a logoff will usually suffice).

      This is not surprising of course and I stopped using Chrome years ago.

      I switched to AdGuard for this very reason. All my uBlock filters and user scripts ported over with no issues.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By LittleNeutrino · Posted

      This is a hot take, but I only use "New" Outlook for 1 reason, the "My Day" side bar that shows your tasks and Calendar on "New" Outlook allows you to view shared calendars and not just your personal calendar. On "Classic" Outlook it only allows your personal Calendar. For my job, we have a group shared Calendar that shows appointments and scheduled tasks for the team and we don't really use our personal calendars.  
    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
