    4 Microsoft Features Coming in 2026 That Matter (And One That Doesn’t)


    Microsoft heads into 2026 with a mixed bag for Windows 11 users. After a rough 2025 marked by bugs, uneven AI features, and trust issues, some upcoming changes genuinely improve everyday usability-while at least one raises fresh privacy concerns.

    On the positive side, Snapdragon X2 support is a big deal. Windows 11 version 26H1 is being built specifically for next-gen ARM silicon, promising better performance and efficiency on upcoming devices. This is one of the clearest signs Microsoft is serious about Windows on ARM long-term.

    Another long-overdue fix is the return of Agenda view in the taskbar calendar. Windows 11 will finally show upcoming meetings and events directly from the clock functionality Windows 10 already had, but was oddly removed.

    Dark mode improvements are also welcome. Microsoft is expanding dark mode to more system dialogs, progress bars, file operations, and legacy UI elements, reducing the visual inconsistency that's plagued Windows 11 since launch.

    The downside? Microsoft Teams' location sharing feature. An upcoming option will automatically update your work location based on the Wi-Fi network you connect to. While it's off by default, it reinforces concerns about workplace monitoring creeping deeper into everyday tools.

    Overall, 2026 looks less about flashy features and more about fixing long-standing gaps. Whether that's enough to rebuild confidence in Windows 11 remains to be seen.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Forza Horizon 4 - Crashing on Startup, doesn´t run

    Hi Vijay,

    thanks for response. I tried your steps with a Google DNS and Open DNS - but it doesn´t help.

    The game still crashes in the moment I try to run it.

    I'll be glad for another solutions.
