This year’s big Windows 11 update, 24H2, started a phased rollout in October and just became available to more PCs yesterday, December 4, as spotted by Windows Latest. To check if your PC is ready for it, just head to the settings page and check for updates — if an update is not there for download yet, you’ll have to wait until later in the rollout process.
Getting new things first isn’t always a good thing when it comes to software, however. It can take quite a while for a new Windows build to be announced as “stable,” and 24H2 is far from earning that title at the moment.
The list of bugs related to the new update is pretty long, and while some people are lucky enough to encounter very few of them, others are running into problems left, right, and center. If you’re worried about that kind of thing, you can check the Windows blog to see a list of confirmed bugs and view their current status. Here are some of the more prominent examples:
These are bugs that Microsoft has confirmed, and there were a few others that have already been resolved. As is always the case with bugs, they won’t happen to everyone and you might not be able to reproduce them if you try — so even if you play Ubisoft games and use a USB scanner, there’s no guarantee that you’ll experience problems.
Alongside these official bugs, however, there’s also a whole load of unofficial ones that users have reported online. These include a range of things like disappearing mouse pointers, internet connection problems, broken clipboard history, broken network sharing, and printer issues.
If you want to try out the update and also make sure you’re not inconvenienced by any potential bugs, the safest thing to do is try it out on a secondary PC. If you don’t have another eligible PC to hand, just be aware that you could run into a few problems if you decide to update.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
