Windows 11

More context

The Windows 11 conversation is dominated by user customization and desktop/cosmetic sharing (e.g., cursor packs and rated desktops), alongside practical Windows 11 setup/security questions like Memory Integrity behavior after a fresh install. There’s also curiosity/banter about the broader Windows timeline (Windows 3.1/Me/Windows 12) rather than only near-term Windows 11 changes.

Windows 11’s Start menu gets deeper customization as Microsoft keeps refining the shell

Microsoft is rolling out new Windows 11 preview changes that let users enable or disable major Start menu sections, including pinned apps, recommendations now labeled “Recent,” and the All Apps list. The update also allows a fully blank Start menu state, or a nearly blank one with only the Pinned section left in place. neowin.net

The build that introduces these options is 26300.8553, released on May 29, 2026. It marks another step in Microsoft’s effort to address long-running complaints about Windows 11’s Start menu and taskbar behavior. neowin.net

Windows on Arm is also getting a new flagship push with Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra, which uses Nvidia’s Arm-based RTX Spark chip and up to 128GB of unified memory. The device pairs that platform with a 15-inch mini-LED PixelSense Ultra display, a large haptic touchpad, and “all-day battery,” and it is set to ship this fall. xda-developers.com
