New security flaws could affect all versions of Windows, millions of users at risk

Some major security flaws have affected all versions of Windows since Windows XP. These bugs were made public today, but it took Microsoft 90 days to make the security update.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

It’s turned into a war against time for IT administrators around the world to make sure all Windows devices are up to date before hackers exploit security gaps.

In a report this morning, Google security researcher Tavis Ormandy discovered an critical design flaws in a module that is inside the Windows platform, since Windows XP.

“It has been possible for NT security breach of security limits for almost 20 years, and nobody notices anything,” said Ormandy, who is part of Google’s Zero Project’s elite security team.

In short, the vulnerabilities found allow attackers to remotely control a Window device.

Below is a video showing how an attacker can manage to gain administrative privileges on Windows using Ormandy detection.

What surprises us in this Windows security alert is that it has no CTF access control, leaving an attacker with no administrative privileges, remotely controlling any Windows application, and even the operating system of Windows device.

The second surprise is Microsoft’s slow response to Ormandy’s discovery. According to Google security researcher, it took more than a month for Microsoft to react after it shared its unveil with the software giant.

Well, system administrators around the world have higher expectations for the trillion-dollar company.

Here's how to stop automatic updates in Windows 10

Here’s how to stop automatic updates in Windows 10

Finally after much criticism of unsustainable updates, the company brought up a feature where users could temporarily stop updating.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

However, Microsoft can only do this for a month, and the feature is designed to help you avoid problematic updates.

In short, you need to be careful about how you use it.

Here’s how to stop automatic updates on Windows 10

  1. Open Settings and navigate to Update and Security
  2. Click on Windows Update
  3. The first option you should search is Pause Updates for 7 Days
  4. If you want to stop the updates for more than that, click Advanced Options below the option.
  5. You will find another Pause Updates field that lets you choose which date you want to post updates in the next 35 days.

One of the reasons why Microsoft does not allow further stoppage of updates is because the company every month sends the security updates needed for the security of your Windows 10 computer.

400 million Windows 10 users will be forced by Microsoft to do what they least want

400 million Windows 10 users will be forced by Microsoft to do what they least want

Windows 10 is not finding a way out of the trouble involved. In recent weeks, Microsoft has issued numerous warnings about the update process in Windows 10. Now the company warned hundreds of millions of users for a “problem” on Windows 10 computers.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Confirmed by Microsoft, the company has begun to force version 1903 to 1803 users who have tried to avoid it. How many will be the number of people affected? Based on Microsoft official digits, potentially close to 400 million computers.

Should You Be Concerned? Microsoft has released more detailed information about what is expected to happen, saying Windows 10 1803 will no longer be supported by November 12, and the company has started updating the Home and Pro versions.

Having in mind the problems that Windows 10 1903 faced, users would have liked to stay as long as possible in the old version before being forced to pass to the new version. Currently in Windows 10 it is possible that major updates are delayed by 35 days, but this can’t delays what can not be avoided.

Microsoft defends by saying that the company ensures that the devices are supported and secured with monthly updates. On the other hand, the company is failing to produce reliable and stable updates.

Goodbye to Passwords in Windows 10

The fight against passwords Microsoft has decided to lead it to a new level. The company launched an experimental version of Windows 10 for the “Fast Ring” insiders, which comes with the password-locking option in the operating system.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

In the “Sign-in” password settings it does not appear at all. To access the computer, you need to use three options: Face Detection with Windows Hello, fingerprint scanner, a PIN code or a physical security key. If you do not have Windows Hello enabled, Microsoft will guide you to its configuration in the next access.

Make your device passwordless” is only available for a limited number of users currently, and with the passage of the week they will see it. Being in the “Fast Ring” do not be surprised if there is something that does not work with it.

Beyond this function, this experimental Windows 10 build brings the smartphone screen sharing feature through your Phone application to more Surface devices like Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop 2. Also with this version you can create activities in the calendar application directly from the taskbar.

The big upcoming update on Windows 10 will be in reality very small

During a year, Microsoft sends two major updates to Windows 10 and has been doing so since 2017, and has now confirmed that the second update for 2019, 19H2, will only bring performance improvements, enterprise capabilities, and quality improvements.

> Check Out: The first Windows 10 update for 2019 arrives: What are the news?

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

The good news is that installing this update will be as if they were the monthly updates that Microsoft sends. As a result, they are not expected to cause any disruption to the user’s agenda during installation.

The beta testers in the Windows 10 Insider program on the “Slow Ring” will receive today’s first 19H2 experimental versions without any visual changes. The update should be finalized by September and provided to all users.

It remains to be seen whether this update will bring the future of “fast updates” promised by Microsoft.

Microsoft warns 800 million Windows 10 users

Microsoft warns 800 million Windows 10 users

Windows 10 problems are not over. The platform has been hit by numerous issues in recent weeks and Microsoft‘s partners have made the situation even worse.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

But another warning from Microsoft comes to Windows 10. Microsoft warned 800 million Windows 10 users that a serious and enduring problem was on a platform that is not known if we can consider it a problem.

Microsoft said it has silently shut down Windows registry backups in Windows 10 eight months ago. Creating registry backups is one of the most important protection processes for many businesses and users. If the Windows Backup System fails when windows has failed, the backup of the registry is all that remains.

From Windows 10 version 1803, the operating system does not save the backup of the registry to the RegBack folder.

Windows 10 1803 debuted in October and despite the fact that this “problem” was dealt with in the Feedback Center, only today the company is open to what has happened. Ironically because Microsoft two months ago said Windows 10 users would have more “control, quality, and transparency.”

According to the company it has been made to shrink the space occupied by Windows on the disk. And how much space does a backup of the registry? Between 50 to 100MB.

In recent months, Microsoft has intensified its efforts to relocate hundreds of millions of Windows 7 users to Windows 10. Such actions have to hinder Microsoft’s mission.

Microsoft: Next Xbox Generation will have AMD Processor, GDDR6 RAM and SSD

It has the ability to play 4K games, which is very impressive when you consider how much power 4K constantly requires, but later this year, Microsoft‘s next Xbox will make the Xbox One X look weak.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

In E3 2019, Microsoft has detailed the upcoming Xbox that is currently being referred to as Project Scarlett.

Correct hardware details are unclear, but Microsoft declares on their website that the console will use an AMD processor, GDDR6 RAM and an SSD that will make the console nearly four times as powerful as the Xbox One X.

The company is also boasting of how it will be able to play their next games in up to 120 fps.

The console is expected to be launched later in the year where other details such as the price will be revealed.

Microsoft has also revealed that Halo Infinite will also launch with Project Scarlett.

The first Windows 10 update for 2019 arrives: What are the news?

The first Windows 10 update for 2019 arrives: What are the news?

Technically it’s the end of May. So it’s no surprise that Microsoft will begin launching the Major May Update, the 1903 update.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

From today, mainstream consumers and business users who want to download and install the update manually can do it from May 21st.

Updating brings some new features. Microsoft gives users more control over their own updates.

Users can stop updating for 35 days in a row. And thanks to a new “Download and Install Now” option, users will not be forced to update automatically.

Those who do not select this option will post install updates until their Windows 10 copy expires.

This is done in order to improve successful installations of upgrades on limited computers by allocating 7GB of space specifically for this purpose.

May update features a feature called Windows Sandbox where Pro, Enterprise, and Education users can open potentially dangerous applications in isolation.

Also a white theme of the operating system is added. Pre-Installed applications installed can be removed. The Start menu has become simpler.

Virtual Assistant Cortana is detached from the search function that Microsoft has completely remodeled.

Microsoft said at the beginning of April that the company would change the way it sends such major updates to improve their quality and avoid catastrophe like that of October. The company will now send these updates for a longer period of time.

Company officials said business customers could start up installations at the end of May. Today is the 21st of May. It’s the date Microsoft will start counting down the 18-month period of service for Windows 10 1903.

Microsoft has also not provided details when 19H2 / Fall 2019 updates will begin shipping. Usually insiders should have access to them right now.

In this way, it becomes the third company that deals with technology that reaches this, following Apple‘s arrival in August 2018, and Amazon just a month later, reports Telegraph.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The revenue has been collected by all three Microsoft divisions, such as hardware, software and various Internet services that have added profits.

The benefits reported over the past year were reported for 30 billion less, which has changed recently.

While stocks and sales change all the time, while Apple and Amazon currently do not have the company’s “T” level, Microsoft is reported that it has exceeded one trillion revenue.

Microsoft warns users of another dangerous update

Microsoft warns users of another dangerous update

Windows 10 has just made the biggest change in history, however the update of the update rule has no value and Microsoft continues to apologize for the quality of the updates itself.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

And it happened again. Just a week after Windows 10 computers froze after an update, Microsoft warned the users with another serious problem.

On KB4493509 site, Microsoft confirmed that computers can freeze during work or when start.

Freezing during work may most likely have a big impact on business computers. Cause is a conflict that is created with antivirus software after installing updates.

The good news is that things are expected to change. The 360-degree rotation that gave users greater control over major but also on small updates will also help them block the problematic updates.

But the change does not come before May and April has always been relentless with Microsoft and especially Windows 10. In fact, in the last 18 months, the quality of Microsoft updates has been catastrophic.

Users encountered problems in January, April, October and November 2018 and in February 2019. However, allowing users to block updates is just a small solution to a big problem. Perhaps the most important thing is not sending them at all.
