What Are Dynamic Updates?
Dynamic updates are pushed out by Microsoft when it seeks to automatically install new feature updates on user devices. While the tech giant typically conducts this process quietly to avoid disruption, it assures users that notifications will respect full-screen applications, gaming sessions, quiet hours, and focus assist modes.
Transitioning from Windows 10: What to Expect
As the end of support for Windows 10 approaches this October, Microsoft is actively encouraging users to transition to Windows 11. This initiative comes amid growing concerns voiced by Microsoft’s partners and various government entities regarding the importance of keeping systems up to date.
Performance Comparison: Windows 10 vs. Windows 11
Recently, Microsoft published a comprehensive performance comparison between Windows 10 and Windows 11, highlighting the advantages of the latter in terms of user experience. Although the comparison was not perfectly straightforward, it provided valuable insights that surpass mere speculation.
