Microsoft has issued a small update to its PowerToys free suite of utilities, adding three new tools. Two more interesting ones appear to be on the PowerToys roadmap, including a GIF capture tool.
Though useful, the new tools aren’t very dramatic. The most significant addition is a new “crosshair” that can be centered over the mouse pointer, making it easier to find on a crowded screen. Microsoft also added two new File Explorer utilities, one adding support for 150 develo
Microsoft’s pesky SSD bug within Windows 11 may finally be fixed according to reports.
Late last year, it was discovered that Windows 11 may have been the cause of mysterious SSD slowdowns, specifically slower write speeds on certain NVMe SSD drives. Bugs like these aren’t immediately obvious and Microsoft claimed to have addressed the issue in patch KB5007262, which was released last year.

Sometimes having a record of what changed in a document is useful—perhaps you want to easily rescind your edits. More commonly these days, multiple people will work in a single shared file, and so knowing who offered suggestions makes discussing them easier.
The visual result looks similar to how changes used to get marked on physical paper, once upon a time. For example, delete a section, and it gets formatted as strikethrough text in a different color.

NVMe drives may be the top choice for boot drives for your laptop or desktop, but when it comes to capacity, 2.5-inch SSDs can offer a better deal. Right now, you can get a 2TB Crucial BX500 for just $150 at Amazon. To get the deal, you have to clip the $30 off coupon underneath the price on the product page.
When we reviewed the 2TB Crucial BX500 last April, we gave it four out of five stars. “The BX500 is subjectively as fast as anything out there until it runs out of cache. That&rs
Are you ready to abandon the cult of Windows and macOS? If you are, Chromebooks serve as a decent alternative for most people. These machines are perfect for everyday workloads like working on documents and spreadsheets, browsing the web, email, and so on. They also tend to have good battery life and sturdy builds.

You’ve got almost endless options when it comes to choosing an email client. But one of the simplest, best, and most effective is right within Windows itself. No, not Outlook—the native Mail app.
Mail—and its related app, Calendar—don’t feature many bells and whistles. I rarely see lists of new features. But when it comes to choosing an everyday mail client, I generally prefer the simple, straightforward interface of the Mail app versus the more complex, clutte
