Frequently Asked Questions

What is happening to the Microsoft Lens app?

Microsoft is reportedly shutting down the Microsoft Lens app (formerly Office Lens). The phase-out begins in mid-September 2025, with new downloads disabled in mid-October, removal from app stores in mid-November, and all new scans blocked by December 2025. Microsoft recommends using the Microsoft 365 Copilot app as an alternative.

What new Surface laptops are available or coming soon?

Several new Surface laptops have been introduced. The Surface Laptop 7 Copilot+ PC with a Snapdragon X Elite chip is available in the Philippines at Villman for ₱119,999. Microsoft has also launched the business-focused Surface Laptop 5G in the US and unveiled new models like the 13-inch Surface Laptop and the 12-inch Surface Pro, both powered by Snapdragon X chips, though their Philippine availability is not yet announced.

What are the major recent changes to Windows 11?

Recent Windows 11 changes include replacing the classic Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a black error screen in the 24H2 update, testing a revamped widgets panel with 'Copilot Discover,' and removing the popular 'bypassnro' command that allowed users to set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account or internet connection, forcing an online setup for everyone.
