AI Daily Narrative

Windows 11 gets a faster File manager, a tighter security update, and a more customizable Start menu

Files, a popular third-party file manager for Windows 11, picked up version 4.1.3 with a set of small but useful upgrades. The update adds a dedicated "View size" button for folders when size calculation is turned off, keeps file selections highlighted when switching layouts, improves tag handling, and swaps in a new OneDrive icon. neowin.net

Microsoft’s June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 also bring a security hardening change for custom folders. After KB5094126 and KB5093998 are installed, folder customizations defined by desktop.ini will no longer appear when Windows treats the source as untrusted, including files from the internet with Mark-of-the-Web, some remote locations, and network paths outside trusted zones. neowin.net

Windows 11 is also gaining a more configurable Start menu in preview. Users can now turn off the Pinned, Recommended, and All apps sections individually, and the Recommended area can be tuned to show different combinations of recommended apps, recent files, and installed apps. windowscentral.com

Common questions on Windows 11, surfaced from across the indexed web.

What can GroDock do that the Windows 11 taskbar cannot?

Let me start by highlighting some of GroDock's more enticing customization options. You can position the bar along the top, bottom, left, or right side of your screen, and you can also choose icon alignment to be centered or off to the left or right of the bar. Icon sizes, taskbar transparency, mica effects, theme colors, text colors, Start button logo, and hex colors can all be tweaked to your liking. The clock is fully customizable, and in the most recent update, a calendar was added with a per-day agenda feature. Did I mention GroDock supports multi-monitor setups? Yes, you can choose which

Is 8GB of RAM enough for a smooth Windows 11 experience?

I honestly wasn't expecting these tests to go as smoothly as they did. Having used PCs with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB RAM for so long, I thought surely 8GB would immediately pose problems. That's just not the case. Within reason, running Windows 11 on 8GB of RAM is not only viable but quite enjoyable. Assuming you're not attempting to run some specialized design software or a demanding game, there's quite a bit of memory runway to work with. An idle system might sit at around 3.8GB of RAM usage, but the remaining 4GB or so is apparently more than enough for general productivity, multitasking, strea

Windows 11 on 8GB of RAM isn't as bad as you think — I tested to find out the truth
Are there any differences between Windows 11 and Windows 10?

When asked whether there are any differences between the Secure Boot updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11, Microsoft replied in the negative. Windows 10 will continue to receive relevant security patches as part of Extended Security Updates until October, and the Secure Boot certificates are included in this. The only difference is that some older systems were not shipped with Secure Boot enabled by default or are running configurations that don’t send telemetry data to Microsoft. In this case, you will need to take some extra steps to obtain the certificates. It’s best to use the new indicat

Windows Secure Boot deadline won't brick your PC, but don't ignore it
Why doesn't File Explorer show folder sizes?

If you browse around File Explorer, you'll notice folders have a blank space next to them under the size column. To calculate the size of a folder, Windows needs to perform a recursive scan and add together the size of every file within a folder. A recursive scan would not be an issue for a reasonably sized folder, but if you have a folder with thousands of files and subfolders, the scan would eat up system resources and slow things down. As a quick side note, File Explorer does show the size of zipped folders, but that's because Windows 11 treats those as individual files, not as folders. The
