Windows 11 just picked up a batch of new features. We covered the taskbar part a few weeks back, so skip to the 1:23 mark for what's new, or start from the top for a quick refresher. From there you'll see a smaller Start menu option, cleaner search results with the clutter and ads stripped out, better file previews, and a new privacy toggle that hides your name and photo from the Start screen. Watch the video to catch all the details.

Scammers are getting smarter, and your phone is their favorite target. Unpaid toll texts, fake delivery notices, romance scams, job offers that ask you to reply "yes," these are all designed to catch you off guard and act fast before you think it through. This week's video breaks down the biggest scam categories right now and the simple habits that stop them cold. Watch it before the next suspicious text lands in your inbox.

AI

Want to build your own newsletter without staring at a blank page? This week's video shows Copilot in Word doing exactly that, drafting a full newsletter from one prompt, pulling in real content from another document, then restyling the whole thing to match a completely different look and feel, all from plain language requests. It only takes a minute to watch, and you'll walk away with a prompt you can reuse right away.
