Microsoft has officially confirmed what many Windows 11 users have suspected for a while: the built-in Microsoft Defender Antivirus is enough for everyday protection on its own.
“For many Windows 11 users, Microsoft Defender Antivirus covers everyday risk without requiring additional software. The choice to add third-party antivirus depends on how you use your PC and which features you value.”
There are a few cases where you might still want a third-party option.
For example, if you manage several devices, need stronger parental controls, or work in a business setting that requires extra management tools.
Even then, Microsoft advises using only one real-time antivirus program at a time to prevent performance problems.
In short, for the average home user who stays updated and follows basic safe habits, Windows 11’s own security features are strong, free, and all you really need.

Starting February, 2027, all smartphones sold in the EU must have batteries that users can replace themselves, using basic tools at home.
Replacement batteries also have to stay available for at least 5 years after a product’s last sale, and software locks that prevent third party repairs will be banned.

Report: OpenAI working on AI-powered smartphone for 2028 launch
OpenAI is reportedly developing its own smartphone, despite earlier saying it wasn’t entering the phone market.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the company is working with Qualcomm and MediaTek on custom chips, while Luxshare will handle co-design and manufacturing.
Specs are expected to be finalized by late 2026 or early 2027, with mass production planned for 2028.
The approach is expected to be different from current smartphones. Instead of relying on apps, the device would focus on AI agents that handle tasks based on user context and behavior.
That direction is already being talked about across the industry. At SXSW 2026, Nothing CEO Carl Pei said apps could eventually disappear, replaced by AI agents that do things for users, pointing to phones that understand intent and act on it.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are going to court over OpenAI’s future
Musk claims he was misled into funding OpenAI as a nonprofit focused on benefiting humanity, only for it to later shift toward a for-profit model. He’s now seeking massive damages and wants the company returned to its original structure, along with the removal of Altman and other top executives.
OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, says the move was necessary to compete in the increasingly expensive AI race, arguing Musk is driven more by control and rivalry, especially as his own AI venture, xAI, trails behind.
The trial is expected to bring rare insight into the inner workings of OpenAI, including internal conflicts, private communications, and the decisions that shaped one of the most influential AI companies today.
With an IPO looming and the AI race intensifying, the verdict could have major consequences for the industry.
