Windows 11 should add a feature to block these forced driver updates. I don't know what they're going to change on my PC, and these forced driver updates can sometimes go wrong. Also, you'd normally get newer drivers directly from the chipmaker's website (Intel, in this case). Do you all still remember/use the "Microsoft Show or Hide Updates Troubleshooter"? It should be built into Windows Settings, at least for power users. It can be handy to block updates like this one. How else do you think Microsoft can improve the Windows Update experience?

Someone has managed to run Apple's iOS 26 natively on Microsoft's abandoned Surface Duo 2, and surprisingly, both screens and touch are working! Developer SmuOS, also known as @none24smu, spent two months bringing iOS 26.5.2 to the Snapdragon 888-powered Surface Duo 2. And guess what? This isn't an emulator! He booted Apple's XNU kernel using a custom UEFI loader, built drivers, and worked on a Metal-to-Vulkan translation layer to get iOS running on hardware Apple never designed it for. He shared exclusive photos and details with Windows Latest, including the Settings app spanning both displays with Liquid Glass. Funnily enough, iOS identifies Microsoft's phone as an "iPhone 17 Pro Max." The timing couldn't be better. Apple just started selling its $1,999 iPhone Duo, while a developer has turned Microsoft's discontinued Duo into an iPhone of sorts! Of course, it's still an experimental build with graphics glitches and missing functionality. SmuOS is already exploring Surface Pen support and even an iOS 27 port. I particularly loved what he told me about why he does all this: "Modding communities are wonderful places because they inspire the mind. And I think the world should encourage that more." Huge respect to SmuOS for spending months on something Microsoft abandoned. It's developers like him who keep the fun and experimental side of computing alive!

can’t wait for Apple to invent the touchscreen laptop 🥰🥰🥰
