It is reported that Wi-Fi 7 will bring faster speeds, up to 2.4 times compared to Wi-Fi 6E, and about 4.8 times compared to Wi-Fi 6. The maximum theoretical data transfer rate of Wi-Fi 6 is about 9.6 Gbps, while Wi-Fi 7 is about 46.1 Gbps, which is twice the bandwidth of Wi-Fi 6 (320 MHz channel compared to Wi-Fi 6’s 160 MHz channel).

In the support document, it is stated that Win11, some Linux distributions, and some ChromeOS can support Wi-Fi 7 networks, and there is no mention of Win10.

Chi11eddog said in a follow-up tweet that Win10 systems are highly unlikely to be able to support Wi-Fi 7 networks because they lack the necessary Wi-Fi 7 drivers that have been verified by Microsoft.

Intel’s introduction to Wi-Fi 7 networking is below:

Wi-Fi 7 will build on the capabilities of previous generations of Wi-Fi products and take them to the next level. Not only will it realize speed improvements, but it will also significantly improve responsiveness and reliability to support immersive consumer experiences and complex future technologies.

For a typical Wi-Fi 7 laptop, the advantage is a potential maximum data rate of nearly 5.8 Gbps, which is 2.4 times faster than the 2.4 Gbps achievable with Wi-Fi 6/6E, and easily supports high-quality 8K video streaming, or reduces the download of a large 15 GB file to about 25 seconds compared to about a minute with the old, best performing Wi-Fi technology. minute using the old, best-performing Wi-Fi technology.

Microsoft has now confirmed that this version has a critical bug affecting video codecs and that Windows 11 is also affected. In addition, there is a bug in this version that prevents ClickOnce applications from working properly.

Microsoft ClickOnce is a software deployment technology, which is a self-updating application program based on Windows. These applications can be installed and run with minimal user interaction. The client has to be reinstalled.

According to reports, after installing KB5028244 (19045.3271), you may be prompted to install when you open an application based on ClickOnce deployment, even if the ClickOnce application is successfully installed and marked as “trusted”.

Microsoft said that to temporarily resolve the issue, the affected ClickOnce application can be uninstalled and reinstalled again.

Alternatively, this issue can also be resolved by using a Known Issue Rollback (KIR), but it may take up to 24 hours for this to apply to consumer and unmanaged enterprise devices.

Microsoft also mentions that enterprise-managed devices that have installed the affected update and encounter this issue can be resolved by installing and configuring a special group policy.

Microsoft says January 31, 2023 will be the last day of sales for Windows 10 digital downloads. Windows 10 will continue to support security updates through October 14, 2025 to help protect your computer from viruses, spyware, and other malware.

The users can also purchase stock licenses for Windows 10 from third-party stores, while Microsoft will officially offer only digital sales channels for Windows 11.

Microsoft has now put most of its Windows development efforts into updates for Windows 11 and subsequent Windows releases, with Windows 10 currently getting only a few minor patch updates and nothing significant in the 22H2 major release update.

Last May, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 was ready for widespread deployment. At the same time, Microsoft has been persuading Windows 10 21H1 users to upgrade to Windows 11 for the version that is coming out of service, and there is even a Windows 11 recommendation option in the Windows Out-of-the-Box Experience (OOBE) screen for Windows 10 22H2.

According to the documentation, Microsoft will not remove the installation media (.ISO) files or the media creation tools planned for all versions of Windows 10, including Home and Professional editions.

Users can also purchase a Windows 11 license and downgrade their copy to a Windows 10 system using an ISO image. Downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 is still possible, and Microsoft will automatically activate the Windows 10 license.

Although Microsoft will stop selling Windows 10 licenses in February, according to the documentation, Microsoft will not remove plans to install media (.ISO) files or media creation tools. This concerns all versions of Windows 10, including Home and Professional editions.

A message posted on the Microsoft Online Store confirms that “January 31, 2023 will be the last day of sales for this Windows 10 download”. This message is visible across all editions of Windows 10 and only applies to the online store, but users will likely not be able to purchase licenses at Microsoft-affiliated offline stores either.

The notice confirms that Microsoft will continue to offer Windows 10 until October 14, 2025. This includes protection against viruses, spyware and other malware.

As of Jan. 31, the Windows 10 download page for consumers did not mention “downloads” offline. Likewise, Windows 10 Enterprise does not warn of this feature. This means that the Microsoft Store notification applies only to “paid downloads” and not to ISO images provided by the download portal.

Microsoft will also make the OS available for download through its MSDN network.

While Windows 10 licenses cannot be purchased from the Microsoft Online Store, users can also purchase product keys from other online retailers.

Users can also purchase a Windows 11 license and downgrade their copy to a Windows 10 system using an ISO image. Downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 is still possible, and Microsoft will automatically activate the Windows 10 license.

The latest news is that Microsoft has already started planning to replace the native “Mail” app in Win11 and Win10 with the “Outlook for Windows” app.

The UWP Mail app on Win11 / Win10 platforms already has a “Try the preview” button. Users are asked to download Outlook for Windows when they click on it, suggesting that Microsoft is planning to replace the native Mail app on the Win10 / Win11 platform.

The only problem is that the current “Outlook for Windows” application is still not perfect, there are many missing features and the available functionality is not refined enough.

The foreign press has followed the steps to download Outlook for Windows, which works alongside the existing UWP Mail app. Outlook for Windows is a PWA application, however, so the interface is very similar to the web version of Outlook.com.

Microsoft says this known issue is caused by a file version mismatch between hidparse.sys in system32 and system32/drivers in the Windows folder, causing signature verification to fail. Currently, feature updates from Win10 20H2 to Win10 22H2 are affected. Microsoft says it’s working on a fix.

Microsoft also shared a temporary fix:

1. Enter Windows Recovery Environment mode
2. Select the “Troubleshooting” option
3. Select “Start recovery, troubleshooting, and diagnostic tools”
4. Select “Advanced Options”
5. Select the “Command Prompt” button, you may need to wait for your device to restart if necessary
6. Your device will reboot into a command prompt window and log in with your password
7. Run the following command:

xcopy C:\windows\system32\drivers\hidparse.sys C:\windows\system32\hidparse.sys

8. After the command completes, type “exit”
9. Select the “Continue” button
10. It should be normal after restarting.

Microsoft added: “In addition to the methods recommended above, no other solutions are recommended. We do not recommend deleting hidparse.sys from your Windows\System32 folder.”

Microsoft says Windows 10 has an issue with displaying the input indicator and language bar in the notification area after installing the recent KB5014666 update.

After installing the update released on June 28, 2022 (KB5014666) or later, the input indicator and language bar may not appear in the notification area. The notification area is located at the right end of the taskbar, and affected devices have more than one language installed. The input indicator and language bar are used to switch between input or keyboard languages on Windows devices, especially for languages that use the Input Method Editor (IME).

To address this issue, Microsoft has implemented a known issue rollback mechanism that automatically undoes changes in cumulative updates without additional action by the user. Affected users can restart their computers to apply the rollback more quickly.

The problem affects Windows 10 client versions 21H2, 21H1, 20H2, and Windows Server 20H2, Microsoft said.
