Yes, it’s allowing Home and consumer users to have a 24-month support window for each feature release — a big win for Home users. This build includes several new features, including one in which notifications for Microsoft accounts are now on the Start menu. While I appreciate that the company at least put the information up somewhere easy to find, it’s baffling to imagine any of my less tech-obsessed friends and family trying to reinstall network drivers via the Command Prompt. Not long ago I had an issue with a laptop running Windows 11 Home that caused it to somehow lose its network adapter drivers, cutting it off from Wi-Fi networks. I eventually tried rolling back the https://rocketdrivers.com/dll/mss32_dll drivers, and then in a moment of desperation I tried resetting the PC to its factory defaults using the Reset this PC option in the Windows 11 Recovery menu.
If you have a PC running Windows 10 that can run Windows 11, you can upgrade for free. There are ways you can upgrade an unsupported PC to Windows 11, but you have to jump through some hoops, and we recommend against it. Microsoft doesn’t officially support Windows 11 on “unsupported PCs,” and you may experience bugs, or your operating system may break as Microsoft releases future updates. Look for a message about the next feature update being available. Click the “Download and install” button to start the upgrade process.

If you have a bursting library of games and can’t narrow down what you want to play first, we made it easy to add more storage to the Ally with no screwdriver required. Just grab yourself a microSD card — ideally a UHS-II one for the fastest loading times — and insert it into the microSD slot along the top of the Ally. Alternatively, you can open up the Ally and swap the SSD for a larger one, if you’re handy with a screwdriver. Check out our guide to installing games on a microSD card and our guide to upgrading your Ally’s SSD for more details. To do so, head back to Armoury Crate’s Control Mode configuration or bring up the Game Profile of the game you want to customize. Select the Left or Right Stick to adjust the dead zone and outer threshold.

- These frequent small chunks of data are much less efficient due to the size of the TCP headers required for each segment relative to the data they contain.
- The length of the data section is not specified in the segment header; it can be calculated by subtracting the combined length of the segment header and IP header from the total IP datagram length specified in the IP header.
If you want to turn off Windows Defender for good without installing another antivirus app, you can use another method. Keep in mind that we do not recommend doing this, as it leaves your PC without any antivirus protection. You should only do this if you have a specific problem with Microsoft Defender that you need to fix. In the Windows Security app, you can open the various features of Microsoft Defender.
Meanwhile, the Steam Deck is really only meant for playing Steam Games. As previously mentioned, I’m worried about the display’s longevity since it tends to get really hot after an hour or two of gaming sessions, which could cause it to wear out prematurely.
