The feature wasn’t available at Windows 11’s launch in October 2021, then remained exclusive to the United States. For several months. Japan was next on the list, before the rollout was expanded to include the UK, France, Germany and many more with the 22H2 update. If you live in one of those countries, you might be excited to finally have a play with Android apps on the desktop. They fully integrate into the Windows 11 experience, allowing you to pin them to the taskbar or use with multitasking features....

The KB456781 is a cumulative update for devices running version 2004 (May 2020) or 20H2 (October 2020). It’s designed to improve security across Microsoft Office, basic operations and input devices like mice and keyboards, but many people have had issues installing it. As Windows Latest reports, many people were unable to update their device altogether. Messages such as “Some update files are missing or have problems. We’ll try to download the update again later” are accompanied by 0x8007000d or 0x800f0831 error codes....

The key changes are detailed in a 12-minute YouTube video from the official Microsoft Mechanics channel, with Enterprise Management VPN Steve Dispensa running through each one. Some of the seven mentioned are quite technical, but others can be understood by casual Windows fans. That includes improved memory management, which allows Windows 11 to better prioritise apps and processes that are used most often. Even if the CPU is occupied with a demanding task, apps will still be able to launch quickly and run in the foreground without issue....

But Windows 11 still has a separate Control Panel, which offers many settings you won’t find in the main menu. Rather than diving into the confusing menus to find what you’re looking for, why not have them all available at the click of a button? That’s where ‘God Mode’ comes in. What is God Mode on Windows 11? God Mode is the informal name for a folder on the desktop which acts as a shortcut to all the Control Panel settings....

One way to reduce the stress is to invest in a smart baby monitor that doesn’t simply allow you to see and hear your child but actively alerts you when they cry, move or – when they’ve grown up a little – attempt to climb out of their cot. Take EZVIZ’s BM1 for example. It does all of that, and can even be proactive, playing calming music when it hears your baby cry....

And right now, due to the coronavirus pandemic, millions of people are relying heavily on internet services and creating new online accounts for services that they’d previously use exclusively in person, such as doctor’s and even dentist appointments. Recent research carried out by F-Secure shows that people have an average of 18 online accounts and 41 percent reuse the same password across those accounts. That rises to 56 percent when slight variations of the same password are used....

This new Helios 300 model tones everything down a bit, mainly for those who don’t have a couple of thousand to spend on a new laptop. The trackpad is disappointing and the battery life poor, but if you want a home gaming laptop with which you’ll use a mouse, the Helios 300 is a great choice. There’s a new Helios 500 for 2018, aimed at those with a bigger budget....

The broadcaster is calling All 4 its new digital home for all Channel 4 content which is essentially what the iPlayer is to BBC. The new brand identity will ‘present all of Channel 4’s linear channels, digital content and services in one place, for the first time’. David Abraham, chief executive of Channel 4, said: “Having been a pioneer of VoD services in the UK, we think the future of TV viewing lies not with either linear or on-demand, but a creative and visual integration of the two worlds, blending the strengths of both into a single brand....

Fabrics: Charcoal, Sandstone and Heather Grey Wood / metallic: Oak Finish, Walnut Finish and Silver Finish If you buy three, you save £50 by using the code ECHO3PACK at the checkout. Or, if you only want two, you can get £25 off using the code ECHO2PACK....

Comparing the two lines as they currently stand will inherently favour AMD as its most recent product has just released and Intel’s next i9 release looks to be around the October time this year, however if you’re looking for a big CPU to tackle those large workloads right now, we’ll talk you through your best choices. Take a look at our review of the new flagship Threadripper 2990WX here, as well as our take on the 7900X....

The U2868PQU makes economies principally through taking a lower-grade twisted-nematic (TN) panel. This typically means more restricted viewing angles, poorer colour accuracy, and lower contrast ratio; however TN can have the advantage of lower power consumption and faster refresh rates. As it turned out, the AOC was to dispel most of these trends in surprising ways. AOC U2868PQU review: Build and Design Rather than go for glitz, the U2868PQU is a simply styled monitor, with matt black plastics all around and no visual ornamentations....

The developer betas, restricted to those with paid developer accounts, have been live for a few weeks but now anyone with a compatible iPhone, iPad or Apple TV can sign up for free to the Apple Beta Software Program and enrol their device to try out the new software. iOS 14’s headline new feature is widgets on the home screen. For the first time, the iPhone is not restricted to having all the apps on the home screens or shoved away in folders....

The G759JZ makes a good impression right from the start. The 17-inch machine may be big and bulky, weighing in at a hefty 4.5 kg and measuring a mighty 58 mm thick. But the build quality is excellent. The matt-black chassis has an attractive ‘soft-touch’ finish, while the keyboard has a nice, firm feel to it. It’s based around a quad-core Haswell-gen Intel Core i7 running at 2.4 GHz, backed up by a top-of-the-range nVidia GeForce GTX 880M with 4 GB video memory....

Audio-Technica ATH-AR3BT Price That puts them at the upper end of what we consider budget headphones – anything under £100 – but still some distance from the upper-end of the on-ear headphone market, making them a reasonably affordable option – especially given that they’re wireless. Audio-Technica ATH-AR3BT Design & Build The Japanese firm has opted for a reasonably minimalist design with the ATH-AR3BTs, which don’t stray too far from its usual offerings....

Recently the company was bought by NortonLifeLock and we don’t yet know whether it will keep Avira in its current state or move users over to a free version of Norton 360. Whatever happens, for those looking for antivirus today, Avira is a good choice. It’s easy to download and install and prompts you to run a Smart Scan to kick things off. On our test system this took just a few minutes and reported it was free from viruses but had other issues that needed to be dealt with such as out-of-date apps, privacy settings to ‘fix’, warnings about browser cookies and registry entries and disk space that could be freed up....

Price That’s relatively expensive for a dual-band 802.11ac router such as this but, as we’ve mentioned, the Fritz!Box 7530 does provide other features that will help it to earn its keep. Cheaper routers tend not to include a modem for Internet access, which means that you still have to connect the new router to your existing modem or router, leaving you with a clutter of boxes and cables sitting in the corner by your broadband connection socket....

We now know much more about Battlefield V and what to expect from the upcoming shooter following the release of a new trailer that showcases new mechanics and the first details about the upcoming Battle Royale mode, Firestorm. There’s also a new trailer showing off the varied online environments you’ll be battling in when the game is released later this month. Here, we outline the release date, platform availability and gameplay details, along with showcasing the latest gameplay and cinematic trailers....

It’s not usually easy to get excited about a monitor’s styling. The BenQ EW2740L isn’t an exception so suffice to say that the slim surround and semi-matt finish to the screen give it a perfectly acceptable appearance. In common with most budget monitors, the stand allows only tilt to be adjusted, and the absence of any height adjustment will be pertinent to any user concerned about ergonomics. Another cost-cutting measure is the lack of internal power supply, with the result that you’ll have another power brick cluttering the floor under your desk....
