Microsoft is looking to speed up the migration to Windows 11 [1] by forcefully installing its suitability checker app on user's machines. BleepingComputer [2] spotted that the latest Windows 10 update includes a force install for PC Health Check, a tool that evaluates a user's machine to suss out its suitability for upgrading to Windows 11. The new KB5005463 update doesn't mention PC Health Check [3] in its title, but may upset some users who prefer to stay on Windows 10 until all the initial issues with Microsoft's new software are ironed out. Microsoft says that users are able to simply uninstall PC Health Check using the Windows Settings app, however some users have complained that this is trickier than it sounds - namly because the tool keeps being reinstalled whenever a subsequent Windows update is released.

Starting in 1991, every copy of MS-DOS [1] (and many versions of Windows) included a hidden artillery game called Gorillas . It inspired a generation of programmers and drew the ire of computer lab instructors everywhere. Here's how it came to be—and how to play it today. The Simple Magic of Gorillas It's 1992, and you're sitting in your school's computer lab. In between assignments, you whisper to your friend, "Check this out." In the C:\DOS directory, you run QBASIC.EXE, then load up GORILLA.BAS. Before long, you and a friend are two gorillas battling it out atop skyscrapers with exploding bananas.
