Now hold your horses! As exciting as this piece of news is, the new game features are affected by many bugs. Actually the Insider Team weren’t sure if it would be a good idea to release this build with all these issues, but eventually decided to go ahead and release it as they need feedback from Insiders on other areas of the OS. Let’s cut to the chase, and see what the new features are!...

So, how can you stop this behavior and use your Windows 10 PC in peace? Well, let’s look at the cause of this intrusive conduct before discussing how to halt it. As I mentioned, an updated operating system guarantees maximum security for users. But not all users are committed to updating their Windows 10 so apparently, Microsoft thought it wise to make Windows 10 update itself automatically. The company is always trying to catch up with makers of malicious software by releasing new updates rather frequently....
Windows Defender issues usually occur when running a second antivirus, but this possibility can easily be dismissed as the user who first reported this issue has confirmed there has never been another antivirus program on his computer other than Windows Defender. Windows Defender Auto Scan doesn’t work in Anniversary Update Windows Defender still runs on demand scans and updates its definition files without error, but despite having its Auto Scan feature set to run with the highest privileges, the antivirus doesn’t perform this task....
Currently, the only way to experience the new Windows Defender Security Center is if you’re part of Microsoft’s Fast Ring within the Insider program. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until the Windows 10 Creators Update is released because that’s the build the feature is intended for. The way antivirus programs are displayed and what they show will be modified with the Creators Update. Both the native Windows Defender and other 3rd party software will benefit from these changes as they will allow users to properly view and manage threats that are detected in scans....

What’s worse: even government agencies are still using Windows XP as their main operating systems, making hacking attacks imminent. Windows XP is still the third most popular operating system in the world, and it appears that Microsoft’s desperate security warnings are falling on deaf ears. It’s a bit difficult to understand why domestic Windows XP users won’t upgrade to Windows 10 when it’s still free, but the situation is most dire when it comes to government agencies and corporations, with most of these organizations still using Windows XP because of a lack of funds....
This happens even though Microsoft has been encouraging the transition to the more secure Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for quite some time now. Such measures had to be taken because malicious third parties abuse macros to inject malware into enterprise systems frequently, so their continued use facilitates a relatively accessible attack window. Security threats prompted XLM macro restrictions in Excel The Redmond-based tech giant tried to tackle this problem to some extent by introducing runtime inspection of XLM macro code, back in March 2021....

The circumstances in which this happens are the following: two profiles using different Microsoft Outlook versions created two Microsoft Exchange Server accounts. A folder is created that can be seen by both users, but only one account has permissions to access it and change the information. This error is caused by Outlook not being able to delete the stored cache when switching between accounts on the same profile. Because the account without permission tried first to access the folder created earlier, that account has momentary ownership of the folder, so the user with permission will see the same message....
