A Windows 10 user posted the following on the Microsoft Community page: How to fix Local User bugs A Windows Insider was quick to offer a solution to the problem. You can restore a local account by selecting Start > Settings > Accounts > Your info. Then, sign in with a local account instead. I only used my Microsoft account when upgrading from Windows 7, but never actually log into my Windows 10 PCs with that account, however, I had no choice but to do so, this time, because my local user was not available to log in with, and I have zero idea what the password is for this new ‘limitedadmin’ user....
We can see that the list of antivirus solutions affected by incompatibility issues is increasing day by day. We already reported that the latest patches are not compatible with Avast, Avira, Sophos, ArcaBit. However, new reports suggest that McAfee users are also experiencing the same issues now. Microsoft recently updated the support articles for the latest OS updates. The company acknowledged the fact that the bug causes Windows 10 to freeze or boot slowly....
These frequent builds are an indication of Microsoft’s commitment to making Windows 10 Anniversary Update as perfect as possible. Each build has brought huge bug fixes and improvements, much to Insiders’ joy. However, it seems that there is one old bug Microsoft can’t find a fix for. At least, not for the time being. Wi-Fi issues are still present in the latest Windows 10 build as they’ve been on every build released in the past months....
Adobe released a patch for more than 20 vulnerabilities, with the update available on Windows, Mac and Linux. But since Adobe Flash Player is integrated within Microsoft Edge, Microsoft is pushing the update on its own through Windows Update for users of Edge as well as Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Some browsers on Windows 10 (i.e. Chrome, IE, Microsoft Edge) will update automatically when the patch is detected, but it doesn’t hurt to check manually just to be sure....
After at first being promised new 3D emojis, Windows 11 users felt robbed when Microsoft later stated that the new emojis being advertised were not actually coming to the latest OS. Now the Redmond company shares pictures of yet another revamped emoji and it all comes circling back. New 3D turtle emoji advertised by Microsoft Back when this misunderstanding was still at its peak, a Microsoft employee said that it was actually a mistake and the wrong graphics were used to advertise the new feature....
The system has three main components: microcontroller unit (MCU), Linux-based operating system (OS), and a cloud-based security service. IoT security As people get connected via the internet, devices are getting similar connectivity thanks to the IoT. But security risks have been a major impediment to the wide-scale adoption of IoT. They are the main challenge that Microsoft set out to address with the Azure Sphere project. The IoT world is big data rich, and that is the primary reason it is a sure target for cyber attackers....
Just like Windows 10 Insider, Microsoft Office Insider deals with the newly added features and functions for Microsoft’s Office suite. Microsoft’s suite is widely used and recognized as the top solution in its segment that can be used when you are in need of docs, graphs, slides, tables and others. The suite is available across multiple platforms and therefore Microsoft developed Insider programs for most of them. Windows users were, of course included, as well as macOS users and even mobile users on Windows 10 Mobile and Android....
Microsoft’s original announcement that it will ditch Skype 7 in favor of 8.0 did not go down a storm. Microsoft was pushing a lot of users into updating the app when they actually preferred the 7.0 version. Lots of users rate Skype Classic more highly as they can open chats in separate windows and customize contact notifications. One user stated: Users initially expressed their concerns regarding speculation that Microsoft might abandon Skype 7 in June....
This important change comes as a consequence of the continuous expansion of Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) that will come to non-windows devices. With the Microsoft Defender ATP comes the new Microsoft Defender ATP on Mac that will run on devices with macOS Mojave, macOS High Sierra, or macOS Sierra. The functionality will be the same as in Windows 10. It seem like Microsoft’s tactic is to rename all of its cross-platform products ‘Microsoft’, while keeping the Windows specific ones as they were....
Microsoft has confirmed that a future Edge v92 release version will have automatic HTTPS. The big M has scheduled Edge v92 for a July 2021 release. Edge will be a more secure browser with HTTPS as its default protocol. MS Edge will no longer need to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS when it has automatic HTTPS. However, Microsoft has just confirmed Edge v92 will incorporate automatic HTTPS. Microsoft confirms automatic HTTPS for Edge v92 The big M confirmed it will add automatic HTTPS to Edge on a 365 roadmap page....
At the Build 2018 developers conference, Soltero confirmed that Cortana was embedded in a few products and played an assistive role for the users. On the first day of the Build, Cortana was the center of attention, and a concept demo was presented showing how meetings could become more intelligent with Cortana. The assistant helped facilitate a meeting, offering relevant participant identification, automatic transcription, and translation among others. New work scenarios are in store for Cortana Besides the new work scenarios, Microsoft will also focus on things that people do at home, work and in between according to Soltero....
The latest aid Microsoft has offered to developers is Windows Dev Center Tips, a blog series aimed at giving devs more information about the app publishing process. The Dev Center received new features in the last months, and Microsoft wants to walk its developers through various publishing scenarios such as: Publish or update a public app Package flighting Publishing hidden apps Side-loading and enterprise distribution Third party and legacy distribution options Notes about confidentiality and purchasing...
Although it’s a stand-alone app, Microsoft Lists can be also used within Microsoft Teams and in SharePoint. Lists is not just a to-do list, it’s a web app that can be used on a desktop or on a mobile device, working with the same tools and data. How can I use Microsoft Lists? To start using Microsoft Lists, you will have to click on the Lists icon from the Microsoft 365 app launcher....
The update proved to be a bumpy one specifically for Intel PCs. As a result, Microsoft was forced to block the update on Intel devices. It seems like the Redmond giant is not yet ready to release Windows 10 version 1809 on those devices just yet. Microsoft recently updated the status of the known issues on its Windows 10 update history page. According to the company, the drivers to fix the respective install issues have already been released....
But relying on a product which doesn’t receive updates and also needs to be online most of the time is not the safest thing to do. So if you can’t maintain a product, why not make it open source and let the community contribute towards its development. And there’s a chance that this could happen, at least according to a recent tweet from Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman who said the following reply to one of his followers: Of course, he didn’t give any hints as to when this could happen, but the person who asked was curious if there’s a ‘Windows 10 answer for Live Writer....
Microsoft has been following a gradual rollout strategy for Windows 10 that starts at a slow pace, speeds up after several months, and then slows again as the update approaches its final phase. Compatibility issues This release timing helps avoid early compatibility hiccups on different hardware and drivers and then nudges machines on older versions of Windows 10 over to the current release. As of January 20, Microsoft’s Machine-learning algorithms began automatically upgrading devices running Windows 10 version 20H2 to the next version of the operating system, 21H2....
KB4524244 was supposed to fix issues with the UEFI boot manager, but for many people, the patch had problems during installation, and for others, it led to system freezes. In fact, the problems were so great, both in terms of severity and how often they occurred, that Microsoft decided to pull back KB4524244 altogether. KB4524244 was removed shortly after release According to Microsoft official sources: This happens to be the same page that once held KB4524244’s changelog, but has since been updated to reflect the current changes....
Somehow, this had been a predictable move from Microsoft since its Edge browser can open documents, including PDF files. Why focus on two tools that do the same thing? Although Microsoft’s decision may upset some users, the vast majority of Windows 10 users could turn to Edge for PDF support: the company’s best browser has more than 150 million active users. The Redmond giant has also been focusing on improving the Edge experience with every single build it’s rolled out....
Microsoft will replace the affected devices for free Microsoft explained in detail the issue via an official announcement. The company says that only a small number of devices are having this problem and offers the much-awaited solution as well. All units that are up to three years from the date of purchase would be replaced free of cost, of course. Rules for the replacement process Here’s how the replacement process is set to take place....
