This is initially annoying because it means that the correct file name is not displayed in full. There is also the security risk. For example, the file “important-document.doc.exe” is displayed as “important-document.doc”, in this case because Windows simply hides the file extension “exe”. This turns an executable file, such as malware/ransomware, into an unsuspicious Word document at first glance. You can quickly work around the problem by activating View > Show > File name extensions in Explorer.

  • Microsoft’s newest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there’s no fix

    PCWorld May 3, 2024 | 16:34 pm

    Microsoft’s newest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there’s no fix Microsoft said this week that the most recent Windows security update for Windows 10 and Windows 11 may break VPN connections. According to Microsoft (via Bleeping Computer), “Windows devices might face VPN connection failures after installing the April 2024 security update, or KB5036893.” Microsoft has no fix at the current time, the company said. “We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release,” the company said. Unfortunately, the list of affected clients is rather lengthy: Windows 11 (23H2, 22H2, and 21H2) as well as Windows 10 (22H2 and 21H2). If you’re a consumer and run into this issue, Microsoft advises that you first launch the Windows “Get Help” app to inform Microsoft of the problem and possibly work through a solution. get windows 11 pro for cheap Windows 11 Pro Price When Reviewed: 199.99 Best Prices Today: $59 at PCWorld Store – Win 11 Pro Upgrade Only | $79.99 at PCWorld Software Store It doesn’t really sound like there is a solution, though. You could always try to uninstall the most recent security update. (Of course, you lose the protections that accompany the most recent patch, too.) Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until Microsoft fixes the problem — if there is a problem. Microsoft at least hasn’t said that all VPNs are affected, possibly including our best VPN recommendations. It’s all bad news, of course, for anyone who likes to work at a coffee shop or airport, or who is travelling overseas where VPNs can be a way of life. Hopefully Microsoft finds a fix soon. Broken VPN connections aren’t the only issue with this update. Microsoft’s support page also warns that “After installing this update, you might be unable to change your user account profile picture.” Further reading: 13 important Windows settings to adjust immediately This article published on May 1, 2024, but was updated May 3 to mention that user account profile pictures may be broken by this update as well.

  • Best 9th-gen and 10th-gen iPad deals

    Macworld May 3, 2024 | 15:59 pm

    Macworld The standard 10.2-inch iPad (9th-gen) is the cheapest iPad Apple sells, but in October 2022 it was joined by a 10.9-inch iPad (10th gen) that costs a bit more and comes in a variety of colors. If you’re looking to pick up a deal and save money on either the 2021 iPad (9th gen) or the 2022 iPad (10th gen), then you’ve come to the right place. You can find great deals if you know where to look–and that’s where we step in! We’ve checked all the best places to pick up the iPad at the best price for you so that you can get a bargain. One thing to note if you are shopping outside of the U.S.: when it introduced the 10th gen iPad, Apple actually increased the price of the 9th-generation iPad! Read more about that here: Is Apple ripping off the rest of the world with inflated prices? The main reason we mention this is it might make the discounts on the older iPad look better than they are, which is why we quote the price it was as well as what it is sold for now. Note that Apple reduced U.K. prices for the iPhone in September 2023, so it may soon do the same for the iPad. There is more than one kind of iPad though. The standard iPad also has more expensive siblings including iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro and if you click those links you can see deals on those models. Also, have a look at our iPad Buying Guide if you aren’t sure which model you want. You may also like to read: best iPad for kids, best iPad for students and best iPad for seniors. Note that we are likely to see a new iPad in 2024, so if you would like to find out what the next generation might bring read our rumors about the new iPad 11th generation. We expect that when the new model arrives Apple is likely to stop selling the 9th generation iPad, which is the only iPad with a Home button and Lightning connection (so if that’s what you want buy one before they are discontinued). You may also like to check out our round-up of the best Apple deals.

    Macworld Finally, 30 months after Apple announced the 24-inch iMac in a collection of seven different colors and powered by Apple’s M1 Chip in April 2021, Apple has updated the iMac with an M3 chip. The 2023 iMac, which was announced in October 2023 and went on sale in November, is a leap up from the 2021 iMac, although not much else has changed. Read about the 2023 iMac and our review of the 2023 M3 iMac. Apple discontinued the 27-inch iMac in March 2022, but it is rumored that a new iMac Pro could be in the pipeline. If that is the Mac you are interested in you may be in for a long wait though, with the larger iMac not expected until late 2024 or 2025. Alternatively, you may be interested in Apple’s high-power desktop, the Mac Studio, see our Best Mac Studio deals. The Mac mini with M2 Pro is another good option, see Best Mac mini deals. With the arrival of the M3 iMac the M1 iMac will no longer be sold by Apple, but you may find those older models available at a discount from resellers while they try to sell off old stock. Note that while the prices remain the same, the M1 iMac did have a price increase outside the U.S. a year after launch, so the savings may not be as good as they appear to be. Not that you need to pay full price. The team here at Macworld is constantly looking out for the best iMac deals from around the web.

Best Mac Studio deals There are no deals in the U.S. right now, but there are discounts in the U.K. U.K.: AO, Mac Studio M2 Max: £1,906 (£193 off, MSRP £2,099) What you need to know In March 2022 Apple introduced its most powerful Mac yet, and then, in June 2023 it updated it with M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips. At the same time, Apple also introduced an Mac Pro with the same specs (the M2 Max and M2 Ultra), but that model has some other features the Mac Studio lacks and a higher price.

  • Best MacBook Pro deals this month

    Macworld May 3, 2024 | 15:13 pm

    Macworld Apple announced new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips at an event on October 30. The upgraded MacBook Pro models arrived less than a year after Apple launched the M2 Pro and M2 Max variants of the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro (in January 2023). The late-2023 MacBook Pro update also marks the demise of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which has been replaced by a 14-inch model with the standard M3 chip, unfortunately at a higher price than the discontinued model. If you want to buy a MacBook Pro you will be able to save money if you choose one of the M2-series models, which will now be discounted by resellers as they sell off the discontinued stock. However, you should keep in mind that, with a mixture of price rises and declines across the range in comparison to the previous generation, it could be hard to spot a really good deal. Luckily we are here to help. Our team of Apple experts search the web all year round for the top deals, offers and discounts for the MacBook Pro – seeking out the best money-off offers to save you time. We are focused on the MacBook Pro here, but there are some great deals for the MacBook Air too. The MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro have a lot in common, so you might also be interested in reading our MacBook Air deals article as well. And make sure you check out our complete round-up of the best Apple deals. Below you will find price comparison tables that show the best prices right now for each standard model of MacBook Pro.

If you’re feeling totally lost, don’t worry–we did the hard work for you.

  • Best wireless gaming headsets 2024: Top picks for audio quality, comfort, and more

    PCWorld May 3, 2024 | 11:00 am

    Best wireless gaming headsets 2024: Top picks for audio quality, comfort, and more The arrival of 2.4GHz wireless technology has revolutionized wireless gaming headsets. Now they are more reliable than ever before and some can even rival their wired counterparts when it comes to connection latency and sound quality. There are myriad different styles, designs, and hardware inclusions — it’s enough to make your head spin. So, to simplify things, I’ve done the hard part for you by getting hands-on and putting each device through its paces. The list below only includes those that have excelled in my extensive testing. The best gaming headsets strike a balance between performance, usability, and extras, placing them in a league above the rest. Why you should trust me: I’m not just a tech expert, I’m also a gaming enthusiast. I’m always on the hunt for better gear to make my own experience better. I know what gamers want. Yes, I’m looking for technologies like spatial audio and Active Noise Cancellation in my gaming headsets, too. If a product makes the cut, I want to spread the word. If it doesn’t, I think it’s my obligation to let you know. I love to play, and I want you to have the best gaming experience as well. For a rundown on how I test wireless gaming headsets and for buying advice, you can read my article “How we test gaming headsets at PCWorld.“ Updated 4/30/2024: I’ve added the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro recommendation to this list: This headset has a punchy audio signature with well-tuned bass and treble that makes it ideal for FPS games. I’ve also added the Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed whose ultralight weight helps prevent soreness in marathon gaming sessions. Learn more in the summaries below. Logitech G Astro A30 Wireless – Best wireless gaming headset Pros The styling is very appealing The 40mm drivers produce a very natural sound The cans are very soft and comfortable Cons Some of the moving parts feel a bit tight Leatherette in the cups can get sweaty on hot days Battery life is decent but not excellent Price When Reviewed: 229.99 Best Prices Today: $169.99 at Amazon$169.99 at Best Buy$229.99 at Logitech G Why I like the Logitech G Astro A30 Wireless Right out of the box, this headset looks fantastic, with fashionable Astro logos on both left and right earcups and very plush leatherette coverings over cushy memory foam, which feels very soft against your ears. As if that wasn’t enough, you can also swap out the magnetic speaker tags on the outside for pre-made designs of your own choosing, to further personalize your look. The Astro A30 also has a refined and natural sound profile, thanks to very finely tuned 40mm audio drivers. But where this headset truly shines is in the connectivity department; it features low-latency 2.4GHz and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, as well as wired connectivity, so it can connect to just about anything, including a PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, and Mac. You can also mix and balance your different audio sources so you[…]

  • Microsoft’s Edge browser gets a built-in network speed test

    PCWorld May 3, 2024 | 10:48 am

    Microsoft’s Edge browser gets a built-in network speed test In the latest publicly available version of Microsoft Edge, version 124.0.2478.80, a new tool has appeared in the browser’s toolbox. You can now measure your internet speed directly in the browser toolbox. To access the toolbox in Edge, you need to click on the plus sign in the rightmost column of the browser. Then you can type “Tools” in the search bar and click on the small icon. The browser toolbox with the new internet speed test should appear. Kristian Kask Kristian Kask Kristian Kask The toolbox is a pretty useful little feature in Edge, it also includes a calculator, a unit converter, a translation function, a timer and a random number generator. Nifty little touches like this are part of the reason why it’s worth considering switching from Chrome to Edge. Version 124.0.2478.80 was a relatively minor update to Microsoft Edge. Apart from the internet speed test, it only contains some bug fixes and new security updates. This article was translated from German to English and originally appeared on pcforalla.se.

  • Best antivirus software 2024: Keep your PC safe from malware, spyware, and more

    PCWorld May 3, 2024 | 10:08 am

    Best antivirus software 2024: Keep your PC safe from malware, spyware, and more Antivirus software is a necessary tool in today’s online world. Attacks are only becoming more sophisticated, especially with the continued rise of AI. Even the most tech-savvy and cautious among us can drop their guard at wrong time or get tricked into exposing themselves to a malware, spyware, or ransomware vulnerability. Antivirus protection is an essential backup against such threats.  We’re not suggesting that PC security software is fool-proof, but it does a great job of protecting your computer against harmful malware and ransomware. Most systems come with security software baked into the OS, but this is often the bare minimum you need. Choosing to purchase more robust antivirus software will provide you with features such as an advanced firewall, sandbox environments for suspicious programs, and multi-device protection, among other things. How do you choose a good antivirus? We’ve tested a multitude of offerings, including all the big names, so you don’t have to! When testing antivirus software, we look for products that strike a balance between excellent protection, a worthwhile selection of features, and minimal performance impact on your PC. For more information, you can read about how we test antivirus software below our picks. Why you should trust us: PCWorld has been deep in the trenches of testing computer hardware, software, and services since 1983—including security suites. For antivirus apps, we continually evaluate popular or noteworthy software. We consider the user experience, strength of protection against threats (online and offline), and how well it addresses the ever-expanding types of attacks. Our guide on how we test antivirus software at PCWorld gives the full details of our review process, but for the results of our work, read on. Update May 3, 2024: Ever wondered what all the pieces of an antivirus suite do? And if you really need all of them? Our breakdown of antivirus software features lays out the details you need to know. We’ve also updated our Norton 360 Deluxe review to reflect the latest benchmark data. Best antivirus of 2024 reviewed and ranked Norton 360 Deluxe – Best antivirus for PC overall Pros Strong antivirus protection Wide protection against major online threats Simple, straightforward features Cons Performance impact on some PCs User interface would benefit from consolidation Upselling of additional services Price When Reviewed: $49.99 for the first year Best Prices Today: $19.99 at PCWorld Software Store$49.99 at Norton Why we picked Norton 360 Deluxe An ideal antivirus suite packs in a little of everything needed for security without costing a ton—and that’s why our pick for the best antivirus software of 2024 is still Norton 360 Deluxe. Despite its slightly awkward interface, this software’s wide protection and affordable pricing is ideal for most users. This plan has just about everything most PC users need, without extra bloat. In addition to the antivirus engine and firewall to protect against malware and network threats, you get malicious link and attachment screening, dark web and privacy monitoring, and webcam safeguards. Norton also tosses in 50GB of storage for cloud[…]

  • Razer’s Editor’s Choice-winning Basilisk gaming mouse plummets to $45

    PCWorld May 3, 2024 | 10:00 am

    Razer’s Editor’s Choice-winning Basilisk gaming mouse plummets to $45 Razer’s gaming mouse designs can get pretty pricey — the Naga Pro I’m using as I write this article was $150 when it came out. The wired, FPS-friendly Razer Basilisk V3 is one of the company’s more affordable options, and today it’s even more so. Normally $69.99, Amazon has it on sale for just $44.99, a 36 percent discount. Razer Basilisk V3 Read our review Price When Reviewed: 69.99 Best Prices Today: $44.99 at Amazon | $44.99 at Best Buy | $49.99 at Target The Razer Basilisk V3 uses a honed asymmetrical design with textured sides that give you a super-sturdy grip, and it has two long thumb buttons for secondary actions with a third “trigger” button for infrequent functions or quick DPI adjustments. Programming can be set up with the Synapse app, then forgotten, because the mouse stores up to five profiles in its onboard memory. Razer is especially proud of the four-way scroll wheel, which can switch between standard “clicky” scrolling and fast spinning, like some high-end Logitech mice. When our mouse expert Dominic Bayley reviewed the Razer Basilisk V3, he praised the mouse’s high-quality sensor, super-fast scrolling wheel, and flashy RGB lighting effects. This deal is almost the lowest we’ve seen for the Basilisk V3 since it was released almost two years ago. If you’re looking for a competitive gaming mouse at a rock-bottom price, hop on it — Best Buy is matching Amazon’s price if you’d like a local pickup option.

  • Whoa! Get a Dell Inspiron laptop with 16GB of RAM for $360

    PCWorld May 3, 2024 | 09:54 am

    I find it really hard to recommend any Windows-powered machine these days with less than 16GB of memory. Windows 11, not to mention essentials like Chrome and other browsers, just chug on anything less. So it’s great to see a dependable 15-inch laptop from Dell going for as little as $359.99, at least if you jump through a hoop or two. Dell is selling an Inspiron 15, with a 12th-gen Intel Core i5, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage for $399.99, already a very solid $150 off the regular price. But as a poster on SlickDeals notes, you might be able to get an even lower price if you haven’t subscribed to Dell’s promotional emails. You can click here to add your email to the list, wait up to half an hour, and you should get a one-time use coupon for 10 percent off a purchase. That brings the final price of the laptop down to just $359.99 before tax and shipping. It’s a damn good deal for a Windows laptop, let alone one with a decent processor, drive, and memory. Other highlights include a 1080p IPS screen, a full-sized SD card slot and an HDMI port. This is a pretty basic machine, so don’t expect extras like Windows Hello face login or discrete graphics. The 41-watt-hour battery isn’t going to be running any marathons, and oddly the laptop lacks a USB-C port (though the USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports are still plenty fast), so you’ll have to charge up with an old-fashioned wall-wart.
