PeaZip 10.9.0 fixes the sluggish drag‑and‑drop, restores reliable RAR and multi‑volume extraction, and adds handy keyboard shortcuts for extracting and adding files. The file manager now offers a customizable middle‑mouse click action and an alternative context‑menu layout that puts the most used commands front and center. Built‑in image and text viewers have been refreshed—DPI scaling works, WebP is supported, and basic syntax highlighting appears in the text viewer. The backend upgrade to Pea 1.29 smooths out command‑line wrappers while keeping Lazarus compatibility across several versions, making the whole package feel more responsive without any bloat.

Microsoft has released KB5074110, an update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 that refreshes the boot files and pre-loads the latest Secure Boot certificates to prevent a "Secure Boot violation" error due to expiring certificates in June 2026. The update replaces the old 2011-signed bootmgfw.efi file with a fresh 2023-signed version, updates the Secure Boot Signature Database (DB), and leaves older systems without the new certificate unchanged. If you're running Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 and use Secure Boot, it's recommended to install KB5074110 via Windows Update now.
