Microsoft begins rolling out new Start menu on Windows 11 — here's everything you should know
The new Start menu that Microsoft unveiled for Windows 11 earlier this year is now beginning to roll out for users who install the latest optional non-security update.
Mind you, if you don't want to let Windows 11 handle your driver updates, you don't have to. Generally, a lot of driver updates will be filed under optional downloads in Windows Update, as is the case with Windows Latest's HP drivers mentioned above.
In the new agreement, Microsoft gets a 27% stake in OpenAI's for-profit business, the OpenAI Group PBC, worth around $135 billion.
As reported by CNBC, Nadella is being paid $96.5 million for 2025, which is a $17.4 million bump from last year. To put that $96.5 million figure into context, with the highest tier of Xbox Game Pass now costing $30 a month, this could pay for 3.216 million months of the game streaming service, or 268,055 years.
Microsoft and OpenAI have signed a new definitive agreement to further strengthen the multibillion-dollar partnership and set up both companies for success in the future.
The ACCC says it is seeking orders "including penalties, injunctions, declarations, consumer redress, and costs", and notes the maximum penalty for each breach of the Australian Consumer Law is above $50 million, meaning Microsoft could be facing an expensive payout if the case is successful. TechRadar Pro has contacted Microsoft for comment.
