Experimental Windows 11 build gains a protected print mode


Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel today get one last build to install before 2024 rolls around, but those on the cutting edge shouldn’t feel left out.
Windows 11 Build 26016 for the Canary Channel is also here, and this one contains a new addition called 'Windows protected print mode'.
Microsoft is giving Windows 11 users the option to remove some bloat


Few people would argue with the notion that Windows 11 comes with more than a little baggage. If you buy a computer with the operating system pre-installed, you can almost always expect the inclusion of bloatware from the manufacturer, but there are plenty of unwanted components even after a clean installation.
With the latest build of Windows 11, however, this is changing. Microsoft is apparently aware, and -- more importantly -- taking notice, of the fact that users are annoyed by having apps forced upon them without the option of uninstalling them. So the company is making it possible to remove more of Windows 11's built-in apps and components.
