There are an almost uncountable number of Windows 11 "tweak"-type utilities out there. But Wintoys is one of the better ones, thanks to its comprehensive feature-set and modern user interface. As the utility's website notes, you can use Wintoys to access hidden settings, free up disk space, access advanced repair tools without using the command line, configure Windows 11's privacy and advertising features, and more. Some of this is readily available in Windows 11 itself, of course, but the settings are spread out all over the place. But some of it is much less accessible, and it's nice to have it all in a single place.

In today's Daily Fix:Hideo Kojima's first post-Metal Gear game, Death Stranding, has been a PlayStation console exclusive since its release in 2019. It received a PC portin 2020, but it seemed like Xbox One and Series X|S were going to miss out. This morning, however, Xbox owners were pleasantly surprised to see Death Stranding appear on the Microsoft Store, and with a launch sale of 50% off. The game is being published by 505 Games, and won't be the last Kojima title to hit the Xbox: his mysterious game titled OD will arrive on the Series X|S at some point, and his espionage action game (that's not Metal Gear), Physint will hit PlayStation on its release. In other news, Warner Bros. Games has revealed another game burning a hole in its pockets: MultiVersus, the Smash Bros-esque fighter starring WB properties like Scooby-Doo, DC Comics, and more. The game apparently added $100 million in losses to the company, on top of the $200 million dud that was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. And finally, Sony has patented a new PlayStation controller featuring a "Rewind" button. Apparently it will let you rewind live gameplay, but no new games have been announced that will take advantage of that feature (yet).

CrowdStrike: Terrible name, terrible outage CrowdStrike, a company no one has ever heard of, ships an update that borks Windows PCs, servers, and clouds services at the heart of the worldʼs infrastructure. Naturally, everyone blamed Microsoft at first Microsoft says outage impacted under 1 percent of PCs. It was just the worst PCs imaginable Microsoft blames EU regulation for its inability to be like Apple That is not a good look. It's also deceptive. Microsoft issues repair tool (later updates). CrowdStrike explains what it did wrong. TLDR: everything. Windows Windows 11 version 23H2 is fully available! Wait, what? Surface Laptop 7 review: big, heavy, no presence sensing or fingerprint reader. Right, I love it. Also, the ThinkPad T14s arrived. Related: Intel cops to mistake in Core Gen 13/14 processors, will issue fix. Why this is unprecedented. And also precedented. Also, why precedented is a word. Microsoft is FINALLY bringing ads to the Microsoft Store search box. Microsoft starts testing new Start menu layouts. Surely one of them has live tites. Canary build today: Duplicate File Explorer tab, not much else. AI/Antitrust Meta is making a surprising—and surprisingly strong—case for AI as open-source. Proton adds an AI writing assistant to its Drive-based Docs. Amazon lost an alleged $25 billion on Alexa devices over four years, so itʼs all in on AI-based devices now! (Panos Panay is the perfect fit for this business if the goal is to be unprofitable). Google effectively kills Privacy Sandbox in a victory for regulation. Microsoft probably cleared the final hurdle to avoid EU antitrust action on cloud licensing. Hey, it worked with security companies and the Windows kernel! It's That Time of the Quarter Again Alphabet / Google: Double-digit revune gains YOY, but how much of this is AI? Subscription services (Netflix, Spotify, not so much Game Pass) are KILLING it,but theyʼre also in full-on enshirtification mode - how do we fix this? Can we fix this. Xbox FTC complains about Xbox Game changes. They're not wrong. But they're not right either. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III lands on Game Pass today - what the what Also, Microsoft muffed the landing badly - but it appears to be working now Halo TV series canceled. It's the worst thing that's happened with Xbox this entire year Tips and Picks Tip of the week: The best thing about Copilot in Windows 11 now With Copilot switching from a pane to an app, thereʼs an unintended benefit that comes into play when you use an AI PC with a Copilot key on it. Youʼre never going to believe what happens next. App pick of the week: Microsoft Designer for image generation Microsoft Designer exited preview last week and thereʼs at least one secret benefit to using it: Unlike Copilot, you can create wide and portrait images (and not just square) without paying. This is why I pay for Copilot Pro. (You do need to sign in with an MSA, however.)
