Microsoft's Windows 11 update is now available and it features numerous changes that could make a significant impactful difference for you and your team.

Microsoft recently updated Copilot, their AI assistant, with a new position on the taskbar. No longer will users need to hunt around for its button; now it can be found conveniently located on the right side of their taskbar in what we refer to as "system tray".

No need to feel restricted if Copilot isn't the right AI assistant for you; simply uninstalling from your taskbar is straightforward. We suggest giving AI assistants some time before making up your mind on whether or not to delete one altogether.

Before checking to see if your Copilot ...

Microsoft announced they will stop offering free security and support updates for Windows 10 starting October 14th 2025.

Windows 11 will soon be full of surprises!

Are you ready to upgrade the tools on your operating system?

Let's begin by talking about the Snipping Tool. This basic screenshotting tool has quietly provided us with snapshots for years, helping to capture screens one snip at a time.

You can now copy/paste text directly into screenshots!

But that's only the start: with Quick Redact's handy new function, it is now possible to quickly hide sensitive data dir...
