Technology
Three stories a day on the technology that changes how businesses run, chosen for what they mean rather than how loud they are.
Technology at The First Click is not a gadget page. Each weekday at 11 we choose three stories for the reader who has to decide something because of them: the chief technology officer sizing a refresh, the founder reading a funding round for what it says about the market, the security lead who needs to know which assumption just expired. The beats are AI and machine learning, enterprise software, cybersecurity, semiconductors, and startups and funding. Every story is summarised in our own words and links to the publisher who reported it. Beneath the day’s lead sits an editor’s note: why we chose it over the alternatives, and what to watch next. On Fridays the funniest of the week gathers in pubLOL, and every second Sunday a Ctrl+Shift column takes one technology question at length.
Every story we have kept in Technology, newest first. Headlines link to the publisher; the tags below narrow the list.

Microsoft patches Windows and Excel – breaks audio, remote access, and paste
Microsoft's September 2026 security patches fixed Excel vulnerabilities but broke Remote Desktop Services, USB audio on Windows 11, and Excel's paste function, with no fix timeline offered.
Editor's notePatch Tuesday usually earns a line, not a lead. This one earns it because the fix and the breakage arrived in the same download, and Microsoft has offered no timeline for the second. Anyone running Remote Desktop on a Windows fleet is now choosing between a known hole and a working desk.
