Microsoft held its annual Ignite conference this week, where it dropped a metric ton of various announcements, most of which were developer or enterprise-focused (you can find all the news from Ignite 2025 here). However, there were some consumer-facing announcements as well. For example, AI agents and components are becoming a critical part of Windows 11 as the company transitions into the next generation of Windows with AI-focused experiences.
Fortunately, some of the upcoming changes do not rely on slop. Microsoft revealed additional recovery features, giving users a new way to restore a broken system with minimal disruptions. Also, at long last, Microsoft is bringing Agenda View to Windows 11's Calendar Flyout, allowing you to check out upcoming events in the system tray.
Remember when people roasted Windows chief for posting out-of-touch Windows strategies to the point of him shutting down the reply section? This week, we had another round of misfired PR and Microsoft falling flat on its face to the thunderous mocking. The company published a cringe Copilot video where the AI struggles to do what it was supposed to do. After taking enormous piss from users, the company took the ad down.
Finally, there were less interesting or exciting updates, such as the latest recovery updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Windows 10 also received KB5072653 to address error 0x800f0922 preventing Windows Update from applying updates, and Windows 11 version 23H2 received a new non-security update with a bunch of fixes. As for bugs, a regular section of each Microsoft Weekly recap, Microsoft confirmed that most of major Windows 11 components are broken in certain scenarios.
