| PC World - 1:55AM (PC World)Microsoft has stopped delivery of June 25th’s KB5039302 update. While the update had some interesting stuff in it, it turns out that it can cause Windows 11 PCs to restart in a continuous loop.
Specifically, Windows 11 version 23H2 and Windows 11 version 22H2 are affected by this bug. Windows servers are not affected.
Fortunately, KB5039302 isn’t installed on all Windows 11 computers because it’s an optional update. (It’s a preview of the standard update for all Windows 11 machines that will be released on Patchday in July 2024.)
In other words, KB5039302 will only be on your Windows 11 computer if you explicitly installed it.

Microsoft wrote the following:
After installing updates released on 26 June 2024 (KB5039302), some devices may not restart. Affected systems may restart repeatedly and require recovery operations to restore normal use.
The Redmond software company continues:
This issue is more likely to affect devices that use virtual machine tools and nested virtualization features, such as CloudPC, DevBox, Azure Virtual Desktop. We are investigating to determine the exact conditions under which this issue may be triggered. Windows Home Edition users are less likely to experience this issue as virtualization is less prevalent in private environments.
And further:
While our investigation is ongoing, this update is not being offered through Windows Update and Windows Update for Business. For this reason, this update may not be offered for your device at this time.
Microsoft is working on a solution to the problem and plans to release it with one of the upcoming updates.
What to do if you’re stuck restarting
If you’ve installed the update on your computer and it enters the never-ending reboot loop, you’ll have to wait until Windows 11 begins the Windows 11 recovery environment by itself.
When it does, select Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Uninstall Updates, and finally click on Uninstall latest quality update. Then confirm removal of the update.
It will take some time for KB5039302 to be removed. Once it’s done, restart your computer and it should work properly again.

| ![](/n.gif) | | PC World - 1:35AM (PC World)While robot vacuums are quite helpful, they can be rather expensive. If you’ve wanted to try one but you’re reluctant to drop hundreds on a name-brand model, today’s your lucky day.
The Lefant M210 robovac is down to $89 at Amazon, an incredible savings on the robot’s list price of $200. It’s rare to see robovacs under $100, especially ones that don’t compromise on performance!
Designed with pet owners in mind, the Lefant M210 tackles pet hair and dirt as it operates its effective zigzag cleaning routine.
This super-affordable model doesn’t have a brush—it sucks everything up directly—so it avoids all the issues that come with hair getting tangled. The trade-off is that it can sometimes struggle to loosen up dirt and debris that’s stubborn or really caked on.
The compact design of the Lefant M210, with its 11-inch diameter and 2.99-inch height, allows it to easily navigate under beds, sofas, and other furniture. It leaves no spot left uncleaned.
You can choose between six cleaning modes: Auto, Spot, Edge, Zigzag, Schedule, and Manual. You can pick whichever you want through the Lefant app and switch between them as needed. You can even control the robovac with your voice by connecting with either Alexa or Google Assistant and asking it to perform different cleaning jobs.
With its long battery life, the Lefant M210 can run up to 120 minutes in low suction mode, meaning it could clean your entire home on a single charge (assuming you aren’t in a massive mansion).
For less than $90, the Lefant M210 robovac is an absolute steal. What will you do with all the time you free up? Whether it’s chilling with Netflix, tackling other chores, or simply taking a nap, the Lefant M210 can improve your life—if you jump on this limited-time deal.

| ![](/n.gif) | | PC World - 1:15AM (PC World)A good gaming chair is a well-considered investment for many, as it usually costs a little more than a normal office chair. However, it also fulfils many functions that go beyond just sitting and scores points with its ergonomics and stylish lighting, for example.
But what should you do if you are no longer happy with your gaming chair? Take it apart, dispose of it and forget about it? Not necessarily, because perhaps your gaming chair would benefit from an upgrade.
To get the best out of your gaming chair, we have selected some interesting accessory options. Unless otherwise stated, most of the products should be suitable for all common manufacturers.

Option 1: Neck, lumbar or seat cushion for more ergonomics
Most gaming chairs are already very ergonomic and, in addition to a shape adapted to the spine, also have other aids. These include a good neck cushion that supports the head if you want to lean backwards.
The manufacturer Noblechairs, for example, offers a comfortable cushion made of memory foam that adapts to the shape of the head and can be attached to the chair with a drawstring. This is available for just $35.
You should also provide optimum support for your lower back if you are sitting for long periods of time. A separate lumbar cushion is recommended here if the gaming chair does not already have a function. The Razer brand offers a high-quality memory foam cushion that should fit any chair. However, to be on the safe side, check the dimensions in case your chair is narrower or wider than the gaming chairs from Razer.
Last but not least, there’s the part you actually sit on. The seat of many gaming chairs is made from materials that are both comfortable and supportive. However, if you still find that it becomes uncomfortable or causes pain, an orthopedic seat cushion can help. Cushions for the armrests can also help you to adopt a better posture when typing.
Option 2: Footrest, new castors and mat for more support
If you look at the lower part of a gaming chair, you will notice room for improvement. Firstly, the legs should always be at right angles to the floor, but this is not always the case.
If the height adjustment doesn’t help because the chair doesn’t fit your height perfectly, you should get a footrest. These are available from Secret Lab, for example, although they are a little expensive, or cheaper on Amazon with a warming cover that also helps against cold feet in winter.
If you are annoyed that the gaming chair only has cheap plastic castors or makes a lot of noise when rolling, you can usually replace them. However, make sure you buy the correct diameter so that the castors fit when you attach them.
It may also be a good idea to get a floor protection mat to prevent further wear and tear on the floor or castors. As a rule, these are also non-slip and do not have to look as boring as normal carpets, but can be provided with a wide variety of designs such as those from Sharkoon.
Floor mats like this one from Sharkoon could pull the rug out from under your feet.

Option 3: A chicer look thanks to personalized patches, covers or LED lighting
If you also value the look, you can personalize your gaming chair even further than just during the ordering process. At Backforce, for example, you can order personalized patches that you can apply to any chair with a fabric cover.
Speaking of covers, if you’re not happy with the color of your gaming chair, you can also get a cover for it. This protects the chair from stains or damage caused by cat claws.
If you prefer a more colorful look, you can also equip your gaming chair with additional LED lighting, if this is not already available. You can use conventional light strips from Amazon and stick them to the side of the chair for a cool lighting effect.

Option 4: Extra gadgets such as a cup holder or controller hanger
If you don’t have much space at your desk, you can outfit your gaming chair with places to store drinks, controllers, or headsets. The DXRacer brand, for example, offers a built-in cup holder for its chairs, although this is compatible with only specific models.
The manufacturer, Thrustmaster, also offers a wild-looking design that allows joysticks to be mounted directly on the armrests of the gaming chair. This makes you feel like you’re in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon or something. Again, make sure that the seat mount is compatible with your chair.
