What’s happened? Microsoft has started rolling out the November Patch Tuesday update for Windows 11, KB5068861. It moves the redesigned Start menu out of preview and ships practical fixes through Windows Update.
This is important because: These are changes you feel every day. Start becomes quicker to navigate, battery status is clear at a glance, and the background Task Manager issue is resolved. Portable players also get more reliable battery behavior.
Why should I care? This update trims friction. You move through apps faster, you know exactly how much battery is left, and you avoid a quiet performance drain. If you use a handheld, low-power states hold more reliably.
Okay, so what’s next? Rollout is gradual, so the Start menu upgrade and battery tweaks may appear over the next few days after installing the patch. Most changes live in Settings and on the Taskbar, so you can fine-tune quickly.

The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
