• Nacon Expects Switch 2 To Launch In The First Half Of Next Fiscal Year
    www.nintendolife.com
    Wake me up when September ends.Last week, Nintendo gave us our first official look at Switch 2 and threw in a '2025' release window for good measure. While the House of Mario is yet to be more specific with its release date, publisher and accessory manufacturer Nacon has shared some narrower expectations (thanks, VGC).As noted on Twitter by industry analyst @MauroNL3, Nacon commented on the Switch 2 release date in its recent financial earnings report, noting that it expects Nintendo's next console to launch "in the first half of 2025/26" or some point between April and September 2025, for those frantically trying to remember when the fiscal year starts (don't worry, we were too).Read the full article on nintendolife.com

  • House renovation and extension by RAUM in Quiberon, France
    www.architectural-review.com
    RAUM transforms an introverted holiday retreat in Brittany into a main residence embraced by a gardenDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, millions of families worldwide were quarantined indoors; the joy of gathering suddenly inaccessible. For RAUMs clients, who lived in the city, it became apparent in this period of enforced lockdowns and restrictions that frequent access to family and nature was both important and desirable. They commissioned the Nantes-based practice to transform their former holiday home in Quiberon, a small peninsular town in Morbihan, in the south of Brittany, into a main residence.Like its neighbours, which feature traditional stone walls, slate roofs and modestly sized apertures, the house is unassuming upon approach. While the street facade remains mostly untouched, a long wing with full-height glazed walls sits at the back of the house, perpendicular to the existing structure. The renovation retains the original character and inherent introversion of the old house, explains RAUM co-founder Julien Perraud, and its extension is instead totally open to the garden. This connection between living space and landscape is the crux of the design intent. Despite the architects aim to radically modify the house with the extension, its architecture still pays homage to the Breton vernacular, boasting a heavy pitched slate roof which mimics the existing volume. Having worked in Brittany for many years, RAUM prides itself on collaborating with local craftsmen. Working with specialist slate roofers, as they did for the swimming pool in Saint-Men-Le-Grand, the architects see the new roof as an outward celebration of local craft.Making use of the different environments offered by the existing structure and extension, the architects have created a playful spatial sequence within. The more intimate spaces (five bedrooms and three bathrooms), are nestled at the front of the house, using the thermal mass and built-in privacy of the stone walls. They are connected by a modest sitting room, just behind the former front door, and an elegant brushed-metal spiral staircase. A new opening at the back of this room draws attention to the rear of the house, bathed in natural light. A book-filled corridor leads to the kitchen at the heart of the reworked ground floor, it nurtures the owners love for cooking and to the expansive living and dining space, enclosed on three sides by full-height glazed walls that frame a maturing garden. Throughout the extensions interior, RAUM have used dark wood and neutral tones, inviting the eye to look out into the landscape. Perraud explains the stained pine of the ceiling, columns and fittings provides continuity with the slate monolith roof, emphasising its heaviness while contrasting with the large openings. Although the extension is open and airy, the floor-to-ceiling height is the same as in the existing building. The dark ceiling that hangs over the living space helps to retain a sense of intimacy.The garden itself, co-designed with landscape designers Coache-Lacaille, hugs the extension with meandering pockets of lush vegetation, fulfilling the clients desire to have a more intimate connection to nature in their everyday. The living room, the most used space of the home, is pulled as deeply into the garden as permitted by local planning constraints. The large sliding glass doors provide immediate access to the outdoors, ideal for summer barbecues and family gatherings: a cherished, post-Covid luxury.

  • Does your Windows 11 PC keep restarting? Let's fix that frustrating problem
    www.foxnews.com
    close Windows Defender Security Center scam: How to protect your computer from fake pop-ups Tech expert Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson says a tech support scam used a fake Windows Defender pop-up, tricking the victim to call and download software. Experiencing a Windows 11 boot loop can be incredibly frustrating, transforming your computer into a seemingly endless cycle of restarts that disrupts productivity. When your system continuously fails to load the login screen and instead repeatedly attempts to restart, you're facing a critical technical issue that demands immediate attention.This persistent reboot problem can stem from various causes. So, what do you do? Let's look at some ways to diagnose and resolve the Windows 11 boot loop, helping you restore your computer's functionality and get back to work.IM GIVING AWAY THE LATEST & GREATEST AIRPODS PRO 2Enter the giveaway by signing up for myfree newsletter. Windows 11 PC (Microsoft) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)What causes a Windows 11 PC to keep restarting?There's no single cause for a Windows 11 PC getting stuck in a reboot loop. A reboot loop can be caused by an issue with your computer's power supply, a malware infection, overheating or even hardware drivers. Here are the different things to check if your Windows 11 laptop or desktop keeps restarting.Fix #1 - Boot your PC in safe mode Step to boot your PC in safe mode (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)When you are troubleshooting any problem on your PC, you should boot your computer in safe mode. If your PC is in safe mode and no longer experiences the restart loop, this means that the default Windows 11 settings and drivers aren't causing the issue. This allows you to narrow down the sources of problems causing your Windows 11 PC to crash, making it easier to troubleshoot. Here's what you need to do to boot in safe mode:Press the Windows Logokey and R at the same timeType msconfig in the boxPress OKUnder Boot Options, click the Safe Boot checkboxWhen your computer restarts, it will automatically restart in safe mode. If your computer restarting is making it difficult to follow these steps, you can also follow these steps at the sign-in screen:Hold the Shift key while clicking the Power iconSelect RestartYour PC will restartOnce your PC restarts, you will see a Chooseoption; click it.Select Advanced OptionsSelect Startup SettingsNow, when your PC restarts, you will be presented with a list of options. Select 4or F4 to start your PC in safe mode. If you need to use the internet while the computer is in safe mode, you can select option 5or press F5.WINDOWS 11 TIPS AND TRICKS YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDEDFix #2 - Remove any new softwareIf your automatic rebooting problem began after installing a new app, uninstall that app and monitor your PC. If you still notice your PC restarting, there's a chance that the app has infected your system settings before you uninstalled it. To fix this, you'll need to restore the system. To do a system restore, you should first boot your PC in safe mode and then follow these steps:Open the Control PanelSearch the Control Panel for Recovery Step to remove any new software (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)Select RecoveryChoose Open System RestoreClick NextNow you will click on your hard drive and select finish. Your computer will automatically restart.Fix #3 - Make sure your computer isn't overheatingAn overheating laptop or desktop will try to prevent damage to critical hardware components by shutting itself down. This is one of the leading causes of a Windows 11 PC getting stuck in a restart loop. If you've noticed your desktop giving off a lot more heat than usual or a laptop feeling hot to the touch, chances are you have an overheating issue.A computer's CPU and GPU generate the most heat, so I recommend monitoring those hardware pieces to see if they are overheating. You don't need any additional software to monitor the temperatures of your GPU, as some temperature readings are built into Windows 11. Here's how to check your hardware temperatures in Windows 11:Open the Task ManagerClick the second tile, Performance,on the left-hand side of your screenFrom here, you can click GPU, which will show you your GPU temperature. Visual to show overheating on PC (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)Unfortunately, the built-in temperature reading doesn't read your CPU temperature, and you'll need to manually go into the UEFI/BIOS to check the temperature without installing any additional software. However, there's a multitude of free-to-use apps that manufacturers have developed to measure your CPU temperature, including Core Temp, HWMonitor or Open Hardware Monitor.When you open one of these monitoring tools, you'll be able to view your PC's stats, including CPU and GPU temperatures and loads. If your CPU or GPU is running too hot, try cleaning the components to remove dust. For custom-built desktops, adding more exhaust fans to the case can improve airflow and cooling. Persistent overheating, especially in older laptops, may indicate that it's time to consider upgrading your machine.TAKE YOUR WINDOWS PC'S SECURITY TO THE NEXT LEVELFix #4 - Check for issues with your PC's power supply Image of a PCs power supply (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)A computer will randomly restart when it has a failing power supply unit (PSU). If you have an issue with your power supply, you'll know if your computer won't restart or turn on. In addition to causing shut-offs and restart loops, a faulty power supply can also cause a blue screen of death error. In severe cases, you might even smell a burning scent or witness smoke coming from your PC's power supply exhaust vent. If you use a laptop with PSU issues, you cannot send your computer to a repair shop or the manufacturer for repair.Desktop PC owners have it a bit easier, assuming they have a pre-built PC that can be altered easily. If you do have a desktop, turn off and unplug your computer before going into the case to investigate if dust build-up is affecting your PSU. If your PSU fails, you must purchase and install a new one.Fix #5 - Scan your PC for viruses Image of a woman working on a PC (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)Malware and other viruses are a common cause of a crashing or constantly restarting PC. The easiest way to do this is by using strong antivirus software. Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.If your computer is stuck rebooting, you may need to boot in safe mode in order to run an antivirus application. Here's what you need to do to boot your PC in safe mode with Windows 11:When your computer restarts, at the sign-in screen, press and hold the Shift keyClick PowerClick RestartNow, your computer should act more stable after booting in safe mode, allowing you to run an antivirus scan.10 USEFUL WINDOWS KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS YOU NEED TO KNOWFix #6 - Disable automatic restart Step to disable automatic restart (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)If you have automatic restart enabled in Windows 11, your PC will restart every time it encounters a system failure. You can easily disable this future within the Windows 11 command prompt. Here's what you need to do:Press the Windows key + Ron your keyboardType sysdm.cpl and click OKSelect the Advanced tabUnder Startup and Recovery,click SettingsUnder System Failure, uncheck the box Automatically restartClick OKKeep in mind this isn't a fix for the problem, but it will help you further troubleshoot the restart loop problem by disabling automatic restarts.Fix #7 - Repair your system files Step to repair your system files (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)An issue with your Windows 11 system files may be causing your PC to constantly restart. If you think a corrupted system file is why your PC keeps restarting, there's a quick and easy fix you can do within the Windows Powershell. The System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in tool that will scan your Windows system files for corruption or any other changes. If a system file has been modified, it will automatically replace the file with the correct version. Here's how to run the SFC command:Open the Windows Powershell(or Command Prompt)Type in sfc /scannowPress EnterLeave the command prompt window open until the command completes, which could take some timeIf there's no problem with your Windows system files, after the scan, you'll see a message that says, "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." If you instead see a message saying, "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them," you should try running SFC again but in safe mode.Fix #8 - Check for RAM issues in the command promptYour PC might be restarting itself because it doesn't have access to enough random access memory (RAM). Windows 11 may become unstable without enough RAM in your computer, causing the OS to randomly reboot. You can use the built-in Memory Diagnostics Tool in Windows 11 to check your computer for issues related to RAM. Here's what you need to do:Press the Windows Keyand RType mdsched.exe in the text boxClick OKSelect Restart Now and Check for ProblemsWhen your PC restarts, the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool will check for any RAM-related issues; if the test detects an error, take note of the error code. You can check the error code online to find the correct fix for that specific error.Kurt's key takeawaysThese are the best fixes for a computer that is constantly restarting. While you can perform these fixes at home, it might be your best bet to send your computer to a repair shop or back to the manufacturer if you continue having an issue with your Windows 11 PC being stuck in a restart loop after these fixes. It also may be time to invest in a new laptop if you are experiencing a system slowdown and random restarting on your Windows 11 PC, but I would recommend trying to fix the problem first before buying a new machine.What was the most challenging computer technical issue you've ever encountered, and how did you resolve it?

  • Windows 11 24H2 bug list updated: One fixed, 12 to go
    www.zdnet.com
    ZDNETAfter months of beta testing, Microsoft officially released its major 2024 update for Windows 11 on October 1. Known asWindows 11 24H2, the latest version enhances theCopilot AI, spruces up File Explorer, promises faster performance and greater stability, and introduces other improvements.Rolling out to eligible Windows 11 23H2 and 22H2 users, the update may appear on your PC's Windows Update screen. If so, you can certainly install it from there. Otherwise, the new version is accessible onMicrosoft's Download Windows 11 page, where you can grab it through the Installation Assistant, installation media, or as an ISO file.Also: No, Microsoft has not 'reversed course' on Windows 11 hardware requirementsBut before you dive into the 2024 update, you may want to reconsider. The new version has been plagued by a variety of bugs that could prevent you from fully using Windows the way you want and expect to.Some of the glitches have been documented by Microsoft, and others have been reported by Windows users. In response, Microsoft hasput the update on hold for problematic PCsthat could encounter blue screens and other issues.To address the barrage of bugs, the company has rolled out three series of patches so far -- one in late October, another in mid-November, and a third on December 10 as part of the monthly Patch Tuesday. A January patch also addressed a conflict with several Ubisoft games.Also:How to upgrade your 'incompatible' Windows 10 PC to Windows 11: Two waysTheOctober updatefixed a few bugs but also created a couple of new ones. TheNovember updateresolved several, but certainly not all, of the outstanding glitches. The December update fixed one specific glitch with certain USB-connected scanners and other devices. The January patch finallyfixed conflicts with the Ubisoft gamesStar Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.But further bugs have continued to pop up, turning the update into an albatross around Microsoft's neck. Here are just some of the issues you may encounter if you jump to the new version.1. Inability to install future updatesIf you installed the Windows 11 24H2 update through a CD or USB flash drive anytime between Oct. 8, 2024, and Nov. 12, 2024, you may beunable to run any future security updates. That means you're stuck if new vulnerabilities are discovered and you need to patch the OS. The problem doesn't occur if you installed or updated Windows 11 24H2 through Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog website."When using media to install Windows 11, version 24H2, the device might remain in a state where it cannot accept further Windows security updates," Microsoft has explained on itsWindows 11, version 24H2 known issues and notifications page.What's the fix? If you haven't yet run the updates from the past few months for Windows 11 24H2 and want to install them via CD or USB drive, be sure to grab the latest version fromMicrosoft's Download Windows 11 page. If you've already updated Windows 11 24H2 through physical media and can't install the latest patches, be patient. Microsoft is working on a fix for the problem. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET2. Auto HDR feature conflict with gamesWindows 11 24H2 users withAuto HDRenabled could find thatmany games fail to display the right colors, while some may not respond at all. Auto HDR tries to enhance the graphics for games by converting standard dynamic range (SDR) content to high dynamic range (HDR). Microsoft has paused the update for affected PCs. If you've already installed the 2024 update, you can sneak past the problem by simply turning off Auto HDR through the display settings in Windows. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET3. Conflict with Easy Anti-Cheat online gaming appA program known asEasy Anti-Cheatis automatically installed with some online games to prevent cheating. Windows 11 2024 doesn't play well with this software-- users can experience the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), at least in rare cases, according to Microsoft.Only devices with Intel's Alder Lake+ processors and vPro platform are affected. Microsoft is working with the developer of Easy Anti-Cheat to resolve the glitch. Until then, those who run this app on PCs with the affected Intel chip should be aware of the conflict. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET4. Blue screens in other instancesBeyond the clash with Easy Anti-Cheat, other situations can lead to the BSOD in the Windows 11 2024 update. Intel and Microsoft have discoveredincompatibility issues with certain driversfor Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST) on Intel 11th Gen Core processors. People running the affected driver and Windows 11 24H2 could run into blue screens.Also: Can't quit Windows 10? Microsoft will soon charge for updates. Here's how muchSources told Windows Latest that Microsoft is reportedly aware of a glitch in the 24H2 update that causesblue screening for PCs with certain Western Digital SSDs. This one has affected Lenovo, Asus VivoBook, and other model computers.In another issuespotted by Windows Latest, PCs with Z890 motherboards sold by MSI, Asus, and other vendors can run into blue screens. This occurs most notably on systems with the Core Ultra 200S series and its integrated Xe-LPG graphics. Alyson Windsor/ZDNET5. Disappearing mouse pointerA bug in Windows 11 24H2 and other recent Windows updatescauses the mouse pointer or cursor to vanishin Chromium-based apps such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, according to Windows Latest. The glitch only occurs when you interact with a text input field, though there is a workaround for it, which Windows Latest describes in its article. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET6. Internet connection issuesSome people who've installed the Windows 11 2024 update report that theirinternet connections are now glitchy. As discovered byWindows Report, these users seem to be able to connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, but they don't receive a valid IP address and therefore can't get an internet or network connection.Also: The best VPN services: Expert testedNeither updating drivers and firmware nor resetting the network connectivity resolves the problem. In certain cases, using a static IP address instead of a dynamic address resolves the issue. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET7. Time zone glitchUnless you have administrative privileges in Windows, you may beunable to change the time zoneat the Date & Time screen in Windows Settings. In this case, the time zone option fails to even appear. Microsoft has tagged this bug as mitigated, which means it hasn't been fixed, but there is a workaround. Just head to the old Date and Time setting in Control Panel and change it from there. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET8. Broken clipboard historyThe Windows clipboard history is a great tool for storing and syncing a history of copied clipboard items across multiple devices. I've liked this feature ever since Microsoft introduced it in 2018. Alas, the latest Windows 11 update breaks the clipboard history, at least for some people.Also:The best Windows laptops: Expert testedAsspotted by Windows Latest, dozens of users chiming in on different online forums report that the tool keeps insisting that the clipboard history is empty, even though they've already copied one or more items to it. Though this bug seems to affect only a small number of users, it was flagged by Windows Insider testers a few months ago. But apparently, Microsoft didn't bother to fix it or didn't fix it properly. Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNET9. Network sharing doesn't workIn another network-related issue triggered by the 24H2 update on some PCs, either the computer or other devices fail to appear in the network list,according to Windows Latest. As a result, you're unable to share files and printers between different PCs.The problem could be related to Function Discovery Resource Publication (FDResPub), which lets Windows 11 remain visible on the network. As a workaround, some people have resolved the glitch by setting FDResPub to start manually instead of automatically.10. Printer issues with ARM-based Copilot+ PCsYet another issue that has been popping up affects people who own Copilot+ PCs. Based on several user reportsspotted by Neowin, some users who upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 are unable to set up or use a printer. The glitch seems to be hitting those with printers made by HP, Canon, Brother, and other manufacturers.Microsoft has posteda support articlehighlighting the problem and offering some workarounds. But at this point, this bug remains unresolved.11. Audio output glitch on some PCsPCs that contain Dirac Audio with a file named cridspapo.dll could bump into audio issues.Dirac Audiois a digital sound technology that improves audio clarity and precision. Some users with this configuration who ran the update say that the integrated speakers, Bluetooth speakers, and Bluetooth headsetshave stopped workingand that first-party and third-party applications no longer recognize these speakers or headsets.As with most of the bugs, Microsoft has paused the update for affected PCs. Once the manufacturer releases a fix, Microsoft promises to offer a new driver through the standard Windows Update process. Dirac12. Outlook may not launch with Google Workspace SyncIn some cases,Microsoft Outlook may fail to load if Google Workspace Sync is installed. This particular Google Workspace Sync tool lets you manage your Google Workspace emails, calendar events, contacts, notes, and tasks directly in Outlook.The specific error that pops up says: "Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot Open the Outlook Window. The set of folders cannot be opened. An unexpected error has occurred. MAPI was unable to load the information service..."Microsoft has put a hold on the update for affected users. You may be able to resolve the issue on your own by updating to the latest version of Google Workspace Sync (4.3.68.0). But if the glitch persists, you'll have to contact Google Workspace Support for help. MicrosoftThese are just some of the glitches plaguing Microsoft and its users with the Windows 11 2024 update. Microsoft has listed others on itsKnown Issues and Notifications page.I installed the update on a test Windows 11 PC and have encountered a few of the bugs described here, along with others. A calendar and contact syncing program I use called Sync2Cloud won't run in Windows 11 24H2. Two driver updates from Intel keep failing when I try to install them. Connecting to the PC using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection doesn't always work the first time around.Also: You can finally test Microsoft's controversial Recall feature - here's howSome conflicts are expected when Microsoft rolls out a major new Windows update. Even with widescale beta testing, not every potential problem will be found. However, issues like these are still frustrating for those of us who need to use Windows for work and other tasks.The number of bugs in Windows 11 24H2 also seems greater than in past annual Windows updates. The ongoing spread of one bug after another and Microsoft's need to stall the update for many people both point to a problem with this latest update. Until more of these bugs can be squashed, Windows 11 users may want to hold off on the 2024 update and stick with their current version.Windows
