Microsoft has released preview update KB5127936 for Windows 11 versions 26H2 and 25H2, introducing a 'customize menu' option that lets users rearrange, hide, or show built-in and third-party commands in the right-click context menu. The update also adds Cloud Rebuild, a recovery tool that can reinstall Windows 11 directly from Windows Update servers without external media, even if the existing installation fails to boot. The release coincides with Microsoft's latest quarterly earnings report, which showed continued decline in revenue from Windows licenses sold with new PCs.

Security firm Socket uncovered a campaign, active since early 2024, in which 16 malware modules were pushed through browser extensions on the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge add-ons store. Five extensions were initially legitimate but were bought from their original developers and later turned malicious via automatic updates, including one tool with roughly 70,000 Chrome users and 10,000 Edge users. Once activated, the extensions connected to remote servers to strip website security headers, inject phishing scripts, and drain cryptocurrency wallets on platforms like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken and MetaMask.
