Previously exclusive to paid subscribers, the ChatGPT desktop app for Windows is now accessible to free users. Like its web and mobile counterparts, the app includes features such as ChatGPT search and voice mode. It is compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
Recap: When Microsoft initially unveiled Windows 11, the ability to run Android apps was one of its more interesting features. Unfortunately, the idea failed to launch beyond a public preview with a limited software selection. However, Tencent has revived the functionality for beta testers in China.
In brief: We're less than one year away from Windows 10's end-of-life date. Microsoft has already revealed how much businesses will have to pay if they want to continue receiving official support after October 14, 2025. Now, the company has announced that customers will also be able to purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU) for $30 for one year, with no option to continue beyond that period.
It's an issue that has been very frustrating for users
In brief: Microsoft's latest update to Windows 11, version 24H2, began rolling out earlier this month. Chief among the improvements is a speedier update process. The new version is a significant step forward in the Redmond firm's ongoing efforts to improve the Windows experience as slow updates have long been a source of frustration among users.
Windows users can now access the ChatGPT desktop app, albeit an early version limited to paid users. GPT can be summoned using the Alt + Space shortcut, though some options available on Mac and the web aren't yet included.
