Microsoft Weekly Edition: Windows 11 for insiders, cloud gaming, and print nightmares

July 04, 2021

Hi folks. Happy 4th of July to our American readers, have a good one and stay safe! Below you will find a round up of this past week's Microsoft news.

In this week's recap, we'll cover more info that has surfaced about Windows 11, the severe PrintNightmare vulnerability, and even a dash of gaming news. Be sure to catch up via our overview.

Microsoft is rolling out a new Share menu design for Edge Dev and Canary users that lets users directly share through Outlook, Gmail, and more. There is also a new 'Email to myself' feature.

Microsoft has offered some further mitigations against the highly dangerous PrintNightmare exploit. The company has also given it a CVSS rating of 8.8/10, which almost awards it "critical" severity.

Next week, China's Long March rockets will be performing several missions to ferry satellites into orbit and Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Galactic, will also be taking his first trip to space.

This weekend's PC game deals have the usual weekly freebie from the Epic Games Store but are almost entirely focused on the ongoing summer sales, which has less than a week left before closing out.

Microsoft has updated its App Developer Agreement to expand the definition of the term "games", include support for third-party commerce platforms, and highlight new responsibilities of developers.
