Microsoft is working on a new version of Windows that will be a modular and customizable version of the OS. The project is called CorePC and is designed to support various form factors.

This is not the first attempt to create a modular OS. Previously, there was Windows Core OS, which also appeared under the name Windows 10X. This system was supposed to be an updated OS without deprecated features and with support for UWP applications. However, she was never released.

As for CorePC, its main feature will be the separation of the system itself, user data and other files. In the current version of Windows, all of this information resides on a single system partition, while CorePC will support multiple partitions. This will speed up system updates, speed up resets, and improve security by making critical sections read-only. A similar approach is used in iPadOS and Android.

Also CorePC will allow Microsoft to make Windows a full-fledged competitor to Chrome OS in terms of size, performance and capabilities.

In addition, a version of the OS, codenamed Neon, is expected within CorePC, which maintains compatibility with legacy applications. Looks like it’s about win32 programs. Finally, a version without backwards compatibility is expected, but with built-in AI and optimization for hardware. This is similar to MacOS with M-series processors. This will allow you to create laptops and PCs that are just as fast and energy efficient.

Of course, these are only plans so far, although, perhaps, development is already underway in the bowels of the company. In any case, the release is still far away, and the situation may change more than once.

Samsung’s support page has posted a description of a new issue that Galaxy S23 users are experiencing. Its essence is that the camera application crashes as soon as the user wants to use the 30x zoom (and clicks on the corresponding button in the application).

Samsung has already analyzed the problem and concluded that this happens when the user “too quickly” switches between modes. The bug is promised to be fixed with a patch, and it is even already there – but so far it is being tested within the software development team. For users, the patch will be released in April.

ZTE has officially announced that the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, Nubia Z40S Pro and Nubia Z40 Pro smartphones have officially received a stable version of the MyOS 13 shell.

The developers have confirmed that some apps are currently not adapted to Android 13 and may not be available after the update.

The flagship ZTE Axon 40 Ultra received the MyOS13.0.14_A2023P update based on the Android 13 operating system, and its size is 1.79 GB. The update brings a new personalized color scheme, smoother animation effects, and tweaks to the shape and color of items across the menu.

The update also includes the Performance Engine 5.0, which is responsible for more precise intelligent control of applications to improve smoothness and battery life in all scenes.

The developers claim an increase in the speed of installing applications and a more stable frame rate in games.
