Windows 11 has just rolled out a new feature that allows two or more apps to use your camera, ending the one-app-at-a-time camera lock. This change is included with Windows 11 KB5089573 (May 2026 optional update), and it’ll roll out to everyone with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday.

Windows 11 finally lets users choose a custom user folder name during setup instead of forcing strange five-letter email truncations like “rache”, instead of Rachel. The long-requested fix arrives in the May 2026 optional update, though existing users still face major limitations without reinstalling Windows.

Windows 11’s hidden Low Latency Profile CPU boost can now be verified through real-time processor spikes while opening the Start menu, Search, and Action Center. The feature ships with KB5089573, but many PCs still need manual activation because of Microsoft’s gradual rollout policy.

Microsoft’s redesigned Windows 11 Start menu finally fixes some of the biggest complaints users had since launch. The new update adds smaller layouts, section-level toggles, cleaner organization, and privacy controls, while improving usability without completely solving the performance problem.

Microsoft says WinUI 3 apps in Windows 11 will soon get smooth resizing like older UWP apps. The update fixes black tearing during window resizing and is part of Microsoft’s broader push to revive fast, native Windows apps while replacing sluggish web-based interfaces.
