When is Microsoft going to bring Microsoft Authenticator windows aka desktop or within edge itself?
When is Microsoft going to bring Microsoft Authenticator windows aka desktop or within edge itself? (People like me lose mobiles) Isn't Windows device considered anything? Only mobiles and android and iOS devices matter? People like don't store important info on Windows devices? Edge has support for in-built password manager like chrome with chrome and google passwords then why is edge not having 2fa support on windows yet in 2024? Is windows still usable if my phones goes for service center, dies randomly, or is stolen? Can I consider windows devices to be of valuable in 2024 or should I shift 100 percent to android and MacOS and ios? Should I throw my windows devices out of window since it is not dependent device when any other fails? On a sidenote, I tried checking out but WinAuth Authenticator exists for Windows PC is open-source & offers 2-step verification (but unfortunately not updated since 2016) so why Microsoft which focuses so much of AI of everything has been able to bring desktop version for windows users? Or am I asking too much in the name of security and privacy that big tech promotes all the time? Can we trust microsoft and windows devices? Or is everything going to be done by google and chrome?
Surface Laptop 4 heats up with minimal use or idle, even more when charging
A couple of months ago, I started noticing the fans on my laptop spinning up during pretty light use. Normally they never turned on, except for during heavy use. Now the fans are on by default and the bottom of the chassis is constantly warm, and when charging it's almost too hot to touch. I don't recall having installed something around the same time this started happening. I've never opened the laptop or cleaned the fans. When I open the task manager it's nothing crazy (this is while the fans are very audibly on and the bottom of the laptop is very hot) Any suggestions are more than welcome, thanks!

Windows Desktop - New Folder Type Feature
I'd love to see a new desktop icon/folder feature. Adding a specific type of New Folder that will only be displayed on your main/primary display desktop. The folder would always be visible on the main display and contain the icons that show up on all external monitors that are not flagged as the main display. That way, when a laptop isn't connected to an external monitor, those sets of icons are quickly accessible via the special desktop folder on your main display. You would no longer have a flood of icons when using only the laptop and when docked you have them at their normal positions.Performance Issues on Convertible Laptop — Need Suggestions
Hi everyone, I’ve recently started using a convertible laptop for work and creative tasks. It’s been fantastic for switching between productivity work, streaming, and sketching in tablet mode. However, I’m running into some performance challenges, especially when multitasking or working with heavy creative applications. Even though my device has an i7 processor laptop, I’ve noticed occasional slowdowns and faster-than-expected battery drain when switching between tasks. I’ve already tried tweaking the power settings and disabling unnecessary background apps, but the issue persists. I came across the Microsoft Tech Community while searching for solutions and thought I’d ask for help here. Are there any specific settings or optimizations to improve performance on a convertible laptop? I’m also curious if there are tools that can help manage resources better or boost system efficiency. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
