Two Windows App updates shipped this week — one fixes a silent failure in Windows store Windows app deployments, the other previews meaningful improvements for Windows 365 Boot deployments. What went wrong (and is now fixed): If you have Microsoft Store auto-updates disabled in your environment — common in managed enterprise deployments — Windows App was silently failing to update itself. Version 2.0.1071.0 (public, April 24) resolves this, but there's a catch: because previous versions couldn't self-update into the fix, a one-time manual update is required. If your users are still on an older build and Store auto-updates are off, they won't get this automatically. Plan accordingly. What's in the Insider build (2.0.1129.0, April 29): improvements to Windows 365 Boot: 🔹 Captive portal handling during the boot flow (think hotel Wi-Fi, conference networks) 🔹 Auto-reconnect when undocking or changing networks — no manual session restart required 🔹 Improved client-side logging for easier troubleshooting If you're evaluating or piloting Windows 365 Boot, the Insider channel is worth testing. And if you manage a managed Store environment, that manual update action is worth scheduling now. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e3Gi-bKW

Meet Miri, an open source keyboard first tiling window manager for macOS inspired by Niri on Linux. Instead of stacking windows everywhere, Miri organizes apps into smooth horizontal workspaces and columns that are easier to navigate with shortcuts or trackpad gestures. It works directly with normal macOS windows using Accessibility APIs, so apps like Chrome, VS Code, Finder, and Terminal continue behaving like regular Mac apps. https://lnkd.in/g36e-Pnc #opensource #utilities #macos #software

Microsoft made a half-hearted effort to roll out their own decrapifier solution, but only made it available for Windows 11 Enterprise or Education - if your devices are running Windows 11 Pro you'll still have to remove sh*tty, pre-installed Microsoft apps via Powershell scripts. *cough*XBox*cough* There's no TECHNICAL reason for this - Microsoft just likes to jack-slap those companies still using Pro to remind them of their (lowly) place in the Microsoft ecosystem, i.e. "pay us more if you want the cool stuff (or even the more secure stuff)".
