Windows 11's January update is breaking PCs - here's how to fix your boot issue - tech
(hx) 11:14 PM CET - Jan,25 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Microsoft's January 2026 Patch Tuesday security update (KB5074109) is causing serious boot failures on some Windows 11 PCs, often showing an "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" error and preventing systems from loading normally.  Because emergency fixes released so far haven’t resolved the issue, affected users must uninstall the problematic update using the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).  This involves triggering WinRE (e.g., by repeated power cycles), selecting Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Uninstall Updates, and choosing to remove the latest quality update.  If WinRE isn’t accessible, you can boot from Windows 11 USB media and use the Repair my PC option to enter recovery mode and remove the update.  Once uninstalled, the PC should boot normally again, and you can pause updates in Settings to prevent immediate reinstallation. 

Quick Guide: Fixing Boot Issues After the January 2026 Windows 11 Update

  1. Force Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE):

    • Power on your PC.

    • When the Windows logo appears, hold the power button to force a shutdown.

    • Repeat this cycle 2–3 times until WinRE starts automatically. 

  2. Uninstall the Problematic Update:

    • In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Uninstall Updates. 

    • Choose Uninstall latest quality update (this removes KB5074109). 

    • If prompted, sign in with an administrator account. 

  3. Alternative via USB Recovery:

    • Create a Windows 11 USB installer and boot from it.

    • Choose Repair my PC -> Troubleshoot -> Uninstall Updates. 

  4. After Successful Boot:

    • Once Windows starts normally again, open Settings > Windows Update and pause updates to avoid reinstalling the faulty patch immediately. 

If you have any trouble with these steps, let me know your specific error and I can tailor instructions!

Jeff Bezos Says AI Could Signal the End of the PC Era, Accelerating Move to Cloud - tech
(hx) 11:37 AM CET - Jan,24 2026 - Post a comment / read (9)
Tech industry veteran Jeff Bezos has reiterated his long-held view that the traditional personal computer - as a locally owned and operated device - could soon become obsolete, replaced by cloud-based computing services. Bezos argues that as artificial intelligence (AI) workloads become ever more demanding, owning powerful local hardware may no longer make economic or practical sense; instead, users will 'buy compute off the grid' from cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS). This shift is being fueled by what industry observers call a 'RAMageddon' - memory manufacturers are prioritizing AI data centers, driving up prices for PC components and potentially making traditional desktops and laptops more expensive and harder to find. Analysts forecast that supply imbalances could last until 2028, turning high-performance PCs into luxury items.

For PC gaming, this potential transition has significant implications. High-end gaming historically depended on powerful local GPUs and CPUs, but services like Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming already demonstrate that gamers can stream graphically intense games without owning cutting-edge hardware. Some industry reports even suggest that millions of PC gamers might migrate to consoles or cloud platforms if local hardware costs continue to rise. However, critics note that latency and internet reliability remain hurdles for cloud gaming, especially for fast-paced competitive titles, meaning local hardware may still be preferred for serious gamers for years to come.

Console ecosystems also stand to benefit from this shift; subscription-based cloud gaming reduces the need for gamers to invest in new console generations, allowing platforms like Xbox and PlayStation to offer access across devices without dedicated hardware upgrades.

In daily life, a cloud-centric world could mean lighter devices (thin clients or tablets) that rely on remote servers for heavy processing, similar to how people use electricity from the grid rather than owning generators. This could lower the barrier to entry for computing power but raises questions about internet dependency, privacy, and long-term costs associated with subscription models.

I don't know what will happen. I live in a small town in the Czech Republic, not far from Prague, and there is still no fast internet here, nor any plans for the future. As you know, I manage IT for various companies and institutions. Small companies usually have connections around 40 Mbit/s, wealthier companies have 100 Mbit/s, and large schools have 300 Mbit/s (but that's still not enough. Imagine a school with 150 computers and 100 iPads... not counting phones!). I myself have 30 Mbit/s at work and 60 Mbit/s at home. Two years ago, O2 (well known to Europeans) bought a local ISP that had built a network in the area based on microwave links. But because everyone who buys a company wants a quick return on their investment, what is happening now is that they are replacing microwave transmitters with old-fashioned DSL or 5G (with the caveat that 5G is definitely not everywhere here; in some places, there is only LTE or 4G). It's just a mess... I myself want to buy Starlink this year, as it's the only way for me to get faster internet at an affordable price. To give you an idea, O2 can sell me 100 Mbit/s or even more via a microwave connection, but the prices for these speeds start at 400 euros per month! Which is unaffordable for me... Starlink for home use costs 61 euros a month, which is also quite a lot, but it's still affordable. I asked a few people who already have Starlink here, and they say they have speeds of around 190 Mbit/s-200 Mbit/s and latency of around 25 ms. Just for your information :-)

So much for cloud functionality in my area. Even completely normal applications have problems. Even Microsoft 365 doesn't work very well. I can't imagine gaming via the cloud at the moment (latency, stability). Here, the kids are happy that Roblox and Minecraft work for them.
Intel is cutting production of consumer PC processors - tech
(hx) 10:01 AM CET - Jan,24 2026 - Post a comment
Intel has admitted it underestimated demand from the AI sector and is shifting production capacity from mainstream consumer processors to Xeon server chips used in AI and data centers, according to CFO David Zinsner. This strategic pivot prioritizes high-margin enterprise products while reducing output of low-end CPUs, potentially making cheaper PCs harder to find. The company says it won’t fully abandon the consumer market but will emphasize mid- and high-range chips instead. Rising memory prices and industry-wide reallocation toward AI hardware compounds the pressure on consumer PC costs. The move reflects broader industry trends as chipmakers adjust to booming AI infrastructure demand.

This step may lead to a decrease in the availability of cheap PCs, especially against the background of a sharp increase in memory prices. Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung are also reallocating capacity in favor of DRAM and HBM for AI servers, which is why consumer memory has more than tripled in price in recent months.

Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - tech
(hx) 11:08 PM CET - Jan,18 2026 - Post a comment
Data centers are projected to consume up to 70% of all memory chips produced worldwide in 2026, driven by explosive demand for AI infrastructure. This massive shift is creating a severe supply shortfall in DRAM (memory chips), as manufacturers prioritize high-margin AI and server products. Analysts describe the situation as a "permanent reallocation" of production capacity toward AI data centers. Industry expert Avril Wu from TrendForce, with nearly 20 years in the memory sector, called this period "the craziest time ever" and noted that "this time really is different." The shortages are already causing DRAM prices to surge dramatically, with server DRAM expected to rise more than 60% in Q1 2026 alone. IDC has updated its forecasts, predicting a potential 5% decline in smartphone sales and a 9% drop in PC sales by 2026 due to the memory constraints. The chip shortage, initially concentrated in AI servers, is now spreading to consumer segments including PCs, smartphones, automotive, TVs, and other electronics. This reallocation leaves limited supply for non-AI applications, forcing many buyers to pay premium prices or face delays. Experts warn that the imbalance could persist into 2027, significantly impacting device manufacturers and end users. The unprecedented AI boom is reshaping the entire memory market, marking a historic turning point for the industry.

- AI Memory Crunch Hits Home: Gamers and Consumers Feel the SqueezeThe AI-driven memory shortage is transforming PC gaming from a hobby into a luxury, with DDR5 RAM kits surging 250-300%—a 32GB DDR5-6000 now costing $364 instead of $100—making high-end builds prohibitively expensive and forcing gamers to delay upgrades or settle for lower specs.

- Gaming console makers face tough choices too, with current-generation systems like PS5 and Xbox Series X/S slated for price hikes in 2026, while next-gen launches (PS6, next Xbox) could slip from 2027-2028 to 2029 or later to avoid uncompetitive pricing amid the DRAM crisis.

- Mobile phone users will see smartphone prices climb 3-8%, hitting low-end models hardest, potentially reversing RAM upgrades in flagships (e.g., sticking at 12GB) and extending replacement cycles as budgets tighten.

- For everyday consumers, the ripple effects mean steadier but relentless price creep across laptops, TVs, and appliances throughout 2026, with PC and phone sales possibly dropping 5-9% and 3-5%, respectively, as manufacturers pass on 55-70% Q1 DRAM hikes. End users may turn to financing, second-hand markets, or simply hold onto devices longer, underscoring how AI's insatiable appetite is reshaping daily tech access and affordability for millions.
