Windows 11’s annual “big” update is here! But while the “25H2 update” (dubbed so because it’s being released in the second half 2025) builds the foundation for a year of new Windows features, you might not even notice when it slips onto your computer.

Microsoft first introduced a dark mode option in Windows 10 in 2016, but there were still plenty of areas of the operating system that looked like a mish-mash of light and dark modes. Nearly a decade later, the latest preview build of Windows 11 now includes even more darkened UI elements. Windows watcher Phantomofearth spotted updated file operation dialogs with …

Copilot+ features, and annoying “features” Microsoft continues to roll out AI features, particularly to PCs that meet the qualifications for the company’s Copilot+ features.
