[ad_1] Specifically, Microsoft will suspend C and D updates, which are usually released during the third and fourth week of each month, respectively.

Microsoft warns Windows users of two security holes already under attack
[ad_1] The flaws exist in the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library, which allows apps to manage and render fonts available from Adobe Systems. Attackers may exploit the vulnerabilities by getting their targets to open booby-trapped documents or view them in the Windows preview pane. Microsoft is still working to fix the vulnerabilities. The earliest it […]
Windows 10 UI updates have been spotted in a Microsoft promo video
[ad_1] The video depicts a File Explorer window that looks noticeably different than the one Windows 10 users are accustomed to, and there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it peak at a new calendar interface. Additionally, the tiles that pop up in the start menu have a more unified, monochromatic look that seems to jive with the user’s chosen […]
Windows 10’s built-in Linux kernel will be available to everyone soon
[ad_1] WSL2’s focus isn’t so much on basic functionality (there’s been an emulator for a while) as it is performance. It should load and run faster, with reduced memory consumption to free up your RAM for other tasks. This prioritization isn’t completely surprising. Now that Microsoft is less dependent on Windows sales and more on […]
Windows 10 icons are getting an overdue redesign
[ad_1] This is arguably an overdue move. Microsoft hadn’t really touched Windows 10’s main icons since its debut in 2015, so they risked feeling old. There were also inconsistencies creeping in, especially once Office got its new look. This update drags Windows 10’s appearance into the modern era, and might just give you a more […]
Bug prevents Windows 7 users from shutting down their PCs
[ad_1] Some have claimed success by disabling a handful of Adobe update services, but it’s not certain if that’s a reliable fix or if Adobe software is to blame. A Microsoft spokesperson told Bleeping Computer in a statement that the company was “actively investigating” the flaw, although it’s not certain what happens next. If this […]
Microsoft’s revamped Edge browser now runs on ARM-based Windows PCs
[ad_1] The new Edge (version 80) also supports Dolby Vision video playback and better handling for web apps in addition to the usual round of fixes and tweaks. It’ll roll out to Windows 10 users over the next few weeks, but we suspect you’ll want to grab it sooner if you’re using an ARM machine […]
Microsoft gets the ball rolling on Surface Duo apps
[ad_1] People who want to write apps for the Surface Neo and Windows 10X will have to wait a while longer. Microsoft is planning to offer a pre-release version of the relevant Windows developer kit “in the coming weeks” through its usual Insider previews, with a 10X-ready emulator and programming interfaces appearing on February 11th.

Samsung adds a cheaper model to its Galaxy Book QLED laptop line
[ad_1] As a refresher, the Galaxy Book Flex and Ion were the first laptop with Samsung’s QLED screens, promising greater power-savings while being able to hit a peak brightness of 600 nits in an “Outdoor Mode”. The Flex Alpha offers the same technology, meets the same brightness measurement and runs at full HD — just […]
Qualcomm pushes for cheaper Snapdragon PCs with its 7c and 8c chips
[ad_1] The Snapdragon 8cx will remain the highest-end model, while the 8c sits right below it. It uses an octa-core Kryo 490 CPU and an Adreno 675 GPU, and was built on a 7nm process. Altogether, the Snapdragon 8c is up to 30 percent faster than the Snapdragon 850. It also features an X24 gigabit […]
