Microsoft’s first Windows 11 security update of 2026 caused two nasty failures, some PCs couldn’t finish a shutdown, and some users couldn’t sign in over Remote Desktop. Microsoft has now shipped emergency updates to fix both. The updates are out-of-band, meaning they landed outside the normal schedule, and they’re already showing up in Windows Update. If your PC started hanging during shutdown, failing to hibernate, or refusing remote sign-ins after the latest security patch, installing the emergency fix is the fastest path back to a stable machine. The emergency patches to install Microsoft has released two out-of-band updates, KB5077744 and…

A YouTube builder has turned platform hopping into a button press. The Ningtendo PXBOX 5 is a 3-in-1 gaming console that combines PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2 hardware in a single tower, then lets you cycle between platforms in under five seconds.

The compromise is just as clear, only one platform runs at a time, so it’s about convenience and space. What makes the project stand out is that it doesn’t look like three consoles stuffed into a box. Cooling, power, and switching were…

It feels like the days of the Detroit Auto Show being a global party are over, but Ford didn’t need confetti to make a statement this year.

It sounds dramatic, sure, but when you look at what they are trying to pull off with their Red Bull Formula 1 partnership and the secretive “Universal…
