Microsoft PowerToys Preview v0.101.2632.0 has been released and prioritizing polish over big new features. Its standout addition is copyable command "deep links" in Command Palette, backed by consent prompts and permission controls. The build also hardens Workspaces with a warning for unverified admin-launched programs, fixes Peek's scrolling regression, and resolves CJK and Turkish-locale bugs. Four installer variants (per-user and machine-wide, x64 and ARM64) are available on GitHub, with SHA-256 hashes published for verification.
Acer's Nitro XV273U F5 leads today's batch as one of the fastest LCDs available, hitting 540 Hz at QHD and 1,000 Hz at 720p for $699.99 while mimicking an OLED's speed. Thermaltake's 3,200W AX tops the power supply charts but only runs on 230–240V, leaving North American readers out in the cold. Prusa and Bondtech's CORE One+ INDX toolchanger earned Editor's Choice as a near-waste-free multicolor printer that beat the Bambu Lab H2C on speed and material savings. The rest of the day's reviews round out with a value ASRock AM5 board, a nostalgic Thrustmaster WARTHOG Mk. II, and a Dell 4K webcam that excels on audio but struggles in low light.

WSL Manager shipped v2.4.0 on September 20, adding backup and restore of WSL instances, a native Arm64 build, and a genuine AI consent gate. Its follow-up, v2.4.1, arrived just 17 minutes later as an automated patch that fixed tests, an analytics mock, and path handling before re-publishing the downloads. The free, open-source Flutter app lets you install, copy, move, and compact distros without touching wsl.exe, and now also drives native macOS VMs. The AI workspace, MCP server, and web dashboard are Pro-only under a one-time $14.99 fee that works on both platforms.
Flyoobe, the popular open-source Windows 11 setup and bloat-removal tool, released version 3.01 (build 3.01.53) today. This marks the first public drop of a completely rewritten core by solo developer Belim, who also rebranded the app back from FlyOOBE to Flyoobe. The biggest additions are a scriptable "Setup Actions" system built on PowerShell and a Windows 7-inspired interface redesign. However, the tool still can't bypass the POPCNT CPU requirement for Windows 11 24H2, and Microsoft doesn't guarantee updates on unsupported hardware.

iiyama's first OLED monitor, the G-Master GOB2701QSC, lands at a steeply discounted £299 for its 10th anniversary, offering a 280Hz Tandem WOLED panel that undercuts rivals running the same LG panel. Control Resonant split TechPowerUp's attention with both a handheld optimization guide and a 35-GPU desktop benchmark, revealing a game so demanding even an RTX 5090 needs upscaling. The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 14 IO 1300W earned better ratings than its 1600W sibling thanks to Titanium efficiency and software-controlled rails, while Prusa's CORE One L+ picked up an Editor's Choice with a small but meaningful quality upgrade. At the enterprise end, KIOXIA's CM9-R SSD set new 1-DWPD performance records for a perfect-scored win, though its ~$10,347 price keeps it out of reach for most.
FlyOOBE 3.0, the free open-source Windows setup assistant from developer Belim, launched with a deliberately leaner, more transparent approach. It replaces the old page-heavy interface with a native, signature-driven checklist driven by editable files like Flyoobe.ini and Bloatware.ini, letting users tweak settings granularly instead of one-click sweeps. The release adds portable setup recipes, a winget-powered installer, bloatware detection, and personalization controls, while keeping the isolated Flyby11 path for upgrading unsupported Windows 10 machines.

Microsoft shipped four Windows 11 Insider Preview builds today, led by a major Cloud rebuild update that can restore a PC to a clean state even when Windows won't boot, pulling both the OS image and drivers straight from Windows Update. The standout additions are secure drive sanitization, which uses hardware-level erase to irreversibly delete data before reinstalling, and remote recovery controls letting IT admins trigger a rebuild through the Recovery CSP. Everyday users get smaller wins too, including a Magnifier contrast theme that darkens the interface without inverting photos, a refined Mouse indicator, Live Captions exclusions for screen readers, and a Start menu overhaul that renames "Recommended" to "Recent." The changes arrive across the Beta, Experimental, 26H1, and Future Platforms channels, though most Experimental features ship gradually and previewed tools can still change or be pulled before a public release.
Microsoft has released PowerToys Preview v0.101.2601.0 today. The headline change is a major performance refactor of the Grab And Move utility, cutting mouse-hook occupancy during resize from 15.03 ms to as low as 0.42 ms. PowerRename got a shutdown-hang fix while ZoomIt picked up 47 automated tests and a Notepad tweak, alongside three behind-the-scenes CI hardening changes.
Today's roundup of seven reviews spans laptops, cooling, keyboards, motherboards, and portable storage, with a few standout picks across every price point. The Acer Swift Air 14 earns praise as a $699.99 port-rich ultrabook with class-leading battery life, even as its modest CPU and dim screen keep it short of premium. On the enthusiast side, the Corsair iCUE LINK Titan II 360 RX LCD cooler delivers beast-level cooling behind a desktop-mirroring screen, while thermal Grizzly's split Pro paste line and the Razer Huntsman V3 HE's sub-6ms latency round out the performance picks. Apple users in particular may appreciate the Team Group T-Create Expert P34F, a $238 portable SSD with built-in Find My tracking.
FluentCleaner 26.09.01 giving its Classic edition real command-line automation for batch files, PowerShell, and other tools. The release drops a "Mini mode" experiment, though maintainer Belim says it may return later as an add-on or plugin. Classic users can now run silently, target individual cleaner categories, and read results from an auto.log file.
WSL Manager 2.3.0 bringing experimental cloud deploys (Hetzner), Kubernetes cluster management, and "Playbooks as code" to the small open-source tool. All five experimental capabilities sit behind an opt-in switch in Settings so they won't disturb the stable core. The update also adds a global AI off switch, moves AI chat to the web dashboard, and runs entirely on credentials you bring yourself—no hosted AI service. The app stays free under GPL-3.0, with Pro as a one-time ~$14.99 purchase and a free Pro launch offer for the first 100 buyers.

NanaZip 7.0.1843.0 has been released today as the project's first rolling-release build, merging preview and stable into a single codebase with a new build-day-based versioning scheme. It syncs its core with 7-Zip mainline 26.03 and patches a wrong-password failure that broke every ZIP archive. Developer Kenji Mouri confirms the project runs part-time toward one major version a year, funded partly by a $99.99 Sponsor Edition whose only real perk is a button label.
Today's roundup covers seven recent reviews, from ACEMAGIC's $1,999 workstation-class mini PC with an i9 and RTX 2000 Ada to the Geekom IT13 Max, a £692.55 Core Ultra 9 rig KitGuru praises as a home-server powerhouse. On the display front, TweakTown gives the Alienware AW3426DWM 87% but flags the MSI MPG 346CQRF X24 as better value. Input and networking round out the list with Corsair's feature-rich £60 SKIFF 100 PLUS membrane keyboard and Zyxel's forward-looking BE15000 Wi-Fi 7 access point. Power supplies close it out, with the CPS PCCooler YT1200 earning strong marks for Asian-market buyers and Endorfy's sub-€100 Enduro L6 850W standing out as a standout budget pick.
