C'est quand même assez lamentable qu'aussi bien Windows que macOS aient régressé sur un truc aussi basique et essentiel que démarrer les applications :/

Microsoft admits major Windows 11 25H2 UI features broken too alongside 24H2 on some PCs
NeoWin

Last month in the second half on November, Neowin noticed that Microsoft had put up a support article describing the broken nature of some of Windows' most important UI and UX components. If you missed the news, the tech giant admitted that Windows 11's Shell elements which include the Explorer, the Start Menu, Taskbar, among others, were bugging out on certain enterprise and office systems.

The support article was published as guidance for IT admins and system admins to deal with such issues. The main problem was related to XAML, and earlier today, Microsoft added more details about the problems.

Simple tweak makes Windows 11 File Explorer faster and fixes a very annoying bug

Speaking of third-party apps, the flashbang-like File Explorer artifacts on Windows 11 can be fixed with a simple tweak that essentially stops WinUI, thus fixing the issue. The workaround was uncovered by X user and tech enthusiast Bob Pony, who also noticed that the File Explorer was now naturally loading up faster without WinUI. The user also says that they noticed a much lower memory footprint on the non-WinUI File Explorer side, and this makes sense too considering the faster improved loading times.

My goal is to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030. Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases. Our North Star is “1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”. To accomplish this previously unimaginable task, we’ve built a powerful code processing infrastructure. Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale on problems such as code understanding.

Explained: Here's why you can't move Windows 11's taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft.

“When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left… the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do… is just huge," Microsoft said.

The new taskbar was rebuilt from scratch, and Microsoft had to “cherry-pick” features and focus on what helps the most people first.

Moving the taskbar simply didn’t make the list.

Meanwhile, the taskbar is now getting AI features like Ask Copilot and AI agents, making it more complex than ever.

That tells you everything about Microsoft’s priorities.

Latest Windows update kills dial-up modems… intentionally
PC World

After installing the January Windows 11 patch, dial-up modems may no longer work. As reported by Windows Central, the KB5074109 update has broken numerous modems in one fell swoop.

The most surprising thing about this, however, is that it isn’t a bug or a random error (as is the case with many other problems in this particular update). This move is entirely intentional. As Microsoft explains in the official release notes, the January update removes certain driver packages that the company considers “unsafe.” Allegedly, these packages contain unpatched security vulnerabilities and anyone who has such a modem should replace it with a new one.

Unfortunately, some old modems rely on these driver packages to continue functioning. Furthermore, this can also affect newly purchased modems, including those still available in the United States.
