5 Windows 11 features from July’s update you shouldn’t overlook

Microsoft released several Windows 11 features and security updates in July 2026, including a redesigned Widgets Board that no longer expands fully upon hovering. These updates are being rolled out gradually to prevent server overload and system instability. While Microsoft aims to enhance the user experience, some reports indicate that the latest record-breaking update caused technical issues for certain users, specifically resulting in the loss of 400 Hz monitor capabilities following the installation process.
