Browser local storage: Here’s what you need to know

Posted on by Milan Stanojevic

Local browser storage is a new feature in browses and it was added in HTML5. This feature has been incredibly useful to web developers, and it has improved the way web apps work.

So, what is local browser storage and how does it work? In today’s article, we’ll try to explain that.

What is browser local storage and how to use it?

1. What is local browser storage?

Local browser storage works similarly to cookies, and it allows web app developers to store data in your browser.

Cookies are added to all requests and available for both client and the server, while the local storage is available only in your browser, which is one of its advantages.

Local browser storage can have no expiration date, or it can last just for a single session. As for the storage, local web storage can take 5-10MB of your browser’s cache.

2. How to use local browser storage?

Local browser storage usually holds some mundane data that allows web applications to work properly.

While local browser storage is useful, it’s not the safest method for data storage, so developers aren’t using it for storing sensitive information.

Regarding the support, all web browsers support local browser storage. However, Opera One offers better support for local browser storage and HTML5 in general.

Opera One is also light on your resources, so it can handle web apps and multimedia with ease. The browser also has tracking protection that will block tracking scripts and speed up website loading.

The browser also has a built-in ad blocker, as well as its own free VPN with unlimited bandwidth for extra protection. Features such as advanced tab management and a pop-out video player are also there.

Opera One is a solid browser for both casual users and web developers, and it’s available on all major platforms, so be sure to try it out. Plus, it comes with it’s own AI.

Opera One

Don’t worry about trivial matters like local storage and HTML5 in general thanks to Opera One’s constantly updated architecture.

Local browser storage is a big part of our web apps, and we hope that you understand what local browser storage is a bit better after reading this article.

Some Windows 10 2004 users get compatibility block alert

Posted on by Don Sharpe

Just like earlier OS updates, big and small, the latest Windows 10 2004 update had some not-so-pleasant surprises for some users. It failed to install.

In turn, Microsoft put a compatibility hold on some of the affected Windows 10 PCs, just as it usually handles similar situations. That has left some users confused as to why they’re unable to upgrade to an OS they couldn’t wait to explore a few days ago.

Fortunately, Microsoft is at least trying to explain the issue to affected users through a Windows Update banner.

Why you may not install Windows 10 2004 yet

When Microsoft puts a compatibility hold on a device, it stops offering it the update that caused the problem in the first place. That’s what’s happening to users that can’t install the Windows 10 May 2020 update.

According to one Reddit user that experienced the problem, Windows Update is displaying a banner explaining the reason for the compatibility hold.

The notification reads:

The Windows 10 May Update is on its way. We’re offering this update to compatible devices, but your device isn’t quite ready for it. Once the device is ready, you’ll see the update available on this page. There’s nothing you need to do at this time.

Up to nine compatibility holds are right now preventing users from receiving the May 2020 update. However, there may be a temporary workaround for some of the known issues.

PCs with Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) on are unable to upgrade, for example. Affected users can circumvent the problem by updating their display drivers before trying to install Windows 10 version 2004.

They may also disable HVCI, which would allow the new OS to install. But they’d be compromising kernel-mode code integrity in so doing.

Other driver compatibility problems affecting Windows 10 2004 installation include:

  • Intel iGPU
  • Realtek Bluetooth radios
  • Conexant HDAudio Driver
  • Nvidia display adapters

Have you successfully upgraded to Windows 10 2004? Or are you looking at a compatibility block? Please let us know in the comments section below.

Microsoft shipped Edge password tracker to Canary testers

Posted on by Don Sharpe

Microsoft Edge password tracker is already live in the Canary channel. According to a report by Deskmodder, the feature has been available there since March, although some insiders haven’t yet seen it.

On March 30, Microsoft announced multiple features that coming to Edge. The promised changes included better research organization with Collections, tracking prevention, and password monitor.

Edge password tracker comes to Canary

The report suggests that users can activate the password monitor in Edge Canary build 85.0.531.0.

The writer of the article has not received the feature yet. As such, that’s probably because it’s on a gradual roll out.

If you’re an insider in the Canary channel, you can activate the credentials tracking feature by going to Settings, Profile, and Passwords.

Who needs to use the new security feature?

Password monitoring in Edge is a security feature meant to alert users in case of the theft of their website sign in credentials.

It’s particularly useful to users that love the convenience of saving their passwords and usernames in their browsers.

Microsoft said that the feature would be alerting users whose website credentials have been stolen by hackers.

When enabled, Password Monitor is a feature that notifies you if the credentials you’ve saved to autofill have been detected on the dark web. If Microsoft Edge uncovers a match with any of your saved username + passwords, you will receive a notification from within the browser prompting you to take action.

Usually, some bad actors steal passwords and sell them to other parties on the dark web.

It appears that Microsoft has found a way to breach the defenses of (or otherwise access) the ever-secretive and heavily guarded darknets.

So, Edge will have the ability to search stolen password databases on that part of the web. If it encounters a password or username match, it will notify the affected Edge user.

Tell us what you think about the Edge password tracker by leaving a message in the comments section below.

Most Windows 10 2004 issues still unresolved to date

Posted on by Don Sharpe

Users started reporting Windows 10 2004 issues hours after the OS update became available for download. Most of these issues are still pending, with some of them preventing users from upgrading their OS.

As such, Microsoft is still looking to resolve glitches ranging from Bluetooth connectivity to driver compatibility.

Pending Windows 10 2004 issues

Hours before the Windows 10 May 2020 Update went live, Microsoft created two support pages for the OS. Well, today is the 6th of June 2020, and the known issues page is still replete with unfixed bugs.

Unfortunately, the other page for resolved Windows 10 2004 problems is still empty. The situation isn’t all doom and gloom, though. That’s because the company has acknowledged the pending problems and is working to resolve them.

The latest item to enter the list of unresolved problems is a DISM reporting bug.

After using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) command /restorehealth to detect and correct system corruption, you might receive a report from the tool that corruption is still present. This can occur even when it has been repaired. An example for using the /restorehealth command is: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth.

The glitch has a temporary workaround, however. According to Microsoft, only the first scan gives an incorrect status of system corruption.

Therefore, any subsequent DISM diagnostics should deliver an accurate report.

Meanwhile, Microsoft expects to deliver a permanent resolution to the DISM issue about two weeks from today.

The only not-so-optimistic news is that some users are still unable to update their PCs to Windows 10 version 2004. Worse still, Microsoft has put a compatibility hold on their devices.

Affected users may, thus, not install the latest OS until the company has solved the problems preventing them from doing so.

Have you had any Windows 10 2004 issues worth writing home about? Has Microsoft fixed the problems, if any?Kindly reach for the comments section below to share your experience.

Satya Nadella addresses employees on Black Lives Matter protests, says “Microsoft will continue to advocate to have voices heard and respected”

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

On LinkedIn, Kathleen Hogan, the Chief People Officer at Microsoft, shared some of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s remarks to employees on the Black Lives Matter protests, unrest, and the situation ongoing here in the United States.

In the May 28 remarks, Nadella mentioned to employees how believes that while everyday racism is not new, it is “far too often the experience and reality in daily lives, particularly for the Black and African American community.” The SEO also mentioned reading an Op-ed from the New York Times and opened up on how the situation is “not something to just leave behind when you log in to work.”

Although the quoted segments are careful and do not mention it specifically, Nadella hinted at the death of George Floyd while his neck was facing the knees of a white police officer in Minneapolis. On this, Nadella said to employees, “It’s not just any one incident, but it’s all the things that have led to the incident that absolutely need to change.” The CEO also mentioned how it is incumbent to use platforms for change. Segments of these are below.

“Our identity, our very existence is rooted in empowering everyone on the planet. So, therefore, it’s incumbent upon us to use our platforms, our resources, to drive that systemic change, right? That’s the real challenge here. We can’t do it alone. I’m grounded in that, I realize that, but together I think we can, and we will drive change.”

“We need to recognize that we are better, smarter and stronger when we consider the voices, the actions of all communities, and you have my assurance that Microsoft will continue to advocate to have all those voices heard and respected.”

As for how this impacts employees directly, Nadella called for employees to come together. He wants employees to check in with each other, ask how they’re doing, and to have empathy for what other are feeling. These remarks are seen below.

“My ask to each of you is to come together. Ask a colleague how they are doing today. Give each other grace as they’re navigating unseen circumstances. “Have empathy for those who are scared and uncertain, and join me and everyone on the senior leadership team, in advocating for change in our company, in our communities, and in society at large.”

Nadella’s remarks also make it clear that Microsoft is interested in partnerships and programs for the good. He points to the company’s Criminal Justice Reform Initiative, which invests in partnerships that are focused on reforming policing.

Nadella is not alone in his remarks and plenty of other big giant corporate voices have gotten behind the Black Lives Matter movements. Apple SEO Tim Cook sent a letter to employees on Sunday. and Google SEO Sunda Pichai mentioned on Twitter that Google “shares our support for racial equality in solidarity with the Black community.”

Microsoft begins Bing and Azure Maps migration to TomTom

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

Last year, Microsoft and TomTom announced an expansion of their existing partnership to bring TomTom’s maps and traffic data into various mapping scenarios across Microsoft’s cloud-based services including Bing Maps and Azure. In a blog post this week, Microsoft has finally announced that the transition of Bing Maps data will finally begin today, as previously announced. The change affects all regions with the exception of Japan, China, and South Korea.

With this broadened integration, TomTom is now a leading location data provider for Bing Maps and Microsoft Azure. However, Microsoft indicates that all applications that use the Bing Maps API will continue to function normally, except for older versions of Windows 10 (released before Windows 10 v1703).  Microsoft notes that the drastic change should make the service even better.

Microsoft has already rolled out these changes to Bing.com users, as well as Microsoft’s first-party products back in March 2020. Today, the Redmond giant has officially started the migration process for all the Bing Maps “Basic” and “free” accounts, and Microsoft plans to automatically migrate all “Enterprise” consumers to the new data source (TomTom’s mapping data) by the end of August.

Top three ways to get the most out of Microsoft Teams for your small business

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

Communication is the heart of any business operation both big and small. But if you’re a small business that has employees based out of different locations, or are now depending on remote workers and operation due to the Coronavirus, it is especially important. That’s where Microsoft Teams comes into the picture.

From its chat-based interface, integrations with other Microsoft apps, or other services, here’s a look at how you can get the most out of Teams for your small business.

Manage your small business documents

The number one way that you can get the most out of Teams for your small business is to use it to manage your documents. With Teams, Microsoft is using its SharePoint service to create Teams sites, which as we’ve previously explained, are document libraries for all things shared in Teams. This is because Teams is designed for groups, allowing anyone to see shared documents and files.

For you, this means that anyone you’ve added to a Team channel can upload files and documents to a channel in Teams, and then have the team access it via the “Files” tab in the right side of the app. This makes it easy to find files and documents without worrying about hunting for links or manually visiting a website to get the files. Even if you prefer to use other non-Microsoft storage solutions, you also can add additional cloud services by clicking the Add cloud storage button on the bottom of the sidebar.

There are also other “apps” you can add to Microsoft Teams, too. These can be from outside of Microsoft and include YouTube, Zoom, Evernote, Adobe Creative Cloud, and so much more. Apps can be added by clicking the Apps icon in the sidebar. Once added, apps will either appear in a tab in a channel, in the sidebar itself. We’ve explained the process before, so give it a read for a more in-depth explanation. These apps will plug nicely into Teams if you’re still using non-Microsoft services before making the jump to Microsoft 365 or Teams.

Manage your tasks from Teams using Microsoft Planner

Other than documents, another core area of a business operation is planning and organizing. If it’s things such as handling pickups, drop-offs, and more, you’ll need to keep track of who is doing what task, and how the task is progressing. Much like with managing documents, this is another area where Teams has your back with its integration with Microsoft Planner.

In Microsoft Planner, the experience is centered around “Plans” that are tied to Office 365 groups. So, if you create a new plan, you’ll get a new Office 365 group for it. You also can create Plans based on existing groups, too. Plans will also have their own SharePoint website and OneNote notebook to help set it apart and make it easier to find certain attachments.

To get started, you can log into Planner from tasks.office.com and then create a new plan. Give it a name, and then you’ll be sent into the user interface. The Planner is organized in vertical columns, with bucket lists. You can add items to the bucket list, and assign tasks, choose dude dates, add notes, and more. There are even metrics available, to show you a schedule for tasks, and more.

Once you’ve set up Microsoft Planner, you can easily find it in Microsoft Teams. Just click to it in the sidebar of the app, or find it by clicking the … in the sidebar, followed by Planner. This will open up planner directly in Teams, without having to open a new tab in your web browser.

Manage your workforce from Teams with Microsoft Shifts

Finally, there is Shifts in Microsoft Teams. Being a small business, you might not have the funds to invest in payroll services like ADP. Teams, though, has integration with “Shifts” a service from Microsoft designed for managers and first line workers to keep track of work hours, and more. When enabled in the Microsoft 365 Dashboard and given the right permissions, your Teams users will be able to use the Teams app to clock in and out of shifts.

Managers, meanwhile, can schedule shifts, add details, swap out shifts, keep things organized, and even download reports. Teams users also have the power to use Shifts to request time off. While it is not as comprehensive as paid payroll services, it does get the job done right, when needed.

Teams can do so much more

These are only the top three ways in which you can get the most out of Microsoft Teams for your small business. We’ve covered Teams extensively over the past couple of months. Be it Yammer, and so much more, there’s a lot to like about Microsoft Teams. If you want to learn more, our news hub has you covered.

Microsoft Edge’s new Password monitor feature starts rolling out on the Canary channel

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

Microsoft has introduced a new feature in the Microsoft Edge Canary channel to make it easier for you to protect your online accounts from hackers (via Deskmodder). The new built-in Password Monitor, a feature that was announced during the March 30 Microsoft 365 event, constantly checks your passwords for potential data breaches.

enable Microsoft Edge password monitor

Those running the latest version of Microsoft Edge Canary (85.0.531.0) can access the Password Monitor setting “Show alerts when passwords are found in an online leak” by heading to Settings > Profile > Passwords. Once enabled, your browser may take a couple of minutes to scan and immediately display a notification (as shown above) if your credentials are listed in a database of compromised passwords.

Microsoft Edge password monitor

You can then click the “View details” option to open a dashboard in Settings, which lists all your leaked credentials and directs you to the respective websites to change your password. Once you change the password and save the new credentials to autofill, you can now continue browsing with the peace of mind that your password is no longer compromised.

It is worth noting that the feature is gradually rolling out for all Microsoft Edge Canary users, so there is a possibility that you may not see it today. As of this writing, there is no ETA for Password Monitor to land in the Stable channel, but the feature should go live on the Dev channel soon.

What to do if FedEx package status is not due for delivery?

Posted on by Milan Stanojevic

There are four main statuses that delivery services, FedEx included, use to inform clients about the whereabouts of their parcel: New, In Transit, Delivered, Delivery Exception.

But there’s another status that clients sometimes get when trying to track down their shipment: Parcel not due for delivery.

What does FedEx status Package not due for delivery mean?fedex not due for delivery status

In short, it means that your package has arrived, but FedEx will not deliver it until it is due.

To the surprise of many FedEx customers, the service keeps to the schedule and doesn’t deliver something earlier than expected. Or, as some clients protested:

Fed Ex is basically saying (…) we have your package and we could deliver it but instead, we are going to sit and stare at it for a couple days because it’s not due yet.

But things are not that simple. According to the protocols, even if packages arrive earlier, the priority is with whatever is due for delivery on a certain day.

If the truck is loaded, no other packages get inside. But if there’s still space, for sure they will include other parcels.

On the other hand, whenever you see the Package not due for delivery status, feel free to go to the local station and get it yourself.

Item too large for the volume’s format? Try these solutions

Posted on by Milan Stanojevic

When trying to transfer large files from your computer or Mac to a flash stick, an external hard drive, sd card, or similar, you sometimes get an error saying that that the item can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume’s format.

Still, you know that you have plenty of space on your stick or hard drive. So why does this happen?

This limitation is due to the formatting type of your external storage device, which is almost always (MS-DOS) FAT32. Files larger than 4GB can not be stored on a FAT32 volume.

The solution, in this case, is to format the device as exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) or NTFS (NT File System).

How can I avoid the item too large for the volume’s format error?

Format as exFAT format as exfat

  1. On your computer, open My Computer or File Explorer.
  2. Right-click on the flash drive or memory card, then select Format.
  3. In the File System list, click exFAT.
  4. Click Start.
  5. Click OK to start formatting.

OR

  1. On your Mac, search Disk Utility to open the disk utility tool.
  2. Under External, select your device.
  3. Click the Erase icon at the top.format exfat on mac
  4. From the Format drop-down list, select exFAT.
  5. Click Erase, then Done.

Before proceeding, you should back up or copy the files stored on the respective device elsewhere, and then copy them back, because formatting the device will delete the information on it.

Note that the exFAT file system allows a single file larger than 4GB to be stored on the device. 

Looking for the best external hard drive to store your files? Here are our suggestions.

Format as NTFS

The steps are the same as above, but only if you have a PC. NTFS format is only readable on Mac, but it can’t be written.

Before beginning, back up your files, as advised, and also optimize the flash drive for performance using the following steps:optimize external drive

  1. In the search bar, type Device Manager.
  2. Expand Disk Drives.
  3. Right-click on your external device, choose Properties, then click on Policies, and select Better Performance. After this, just click OK to complete the process.

As notified, after performing these steps and formatting your device, you should only remove it from your computer using the Safely Remove Hardware option from the quick menu. Otherwise, you could damage the device.

LastPass Free VS Premium [Reviewed by Pros]

Posted on by Tashreef Shareef

If you are reading this article, you most likely have used the free version of LastPass and now wondering if upgrading to the premium version of the popular password manager tool is worth it. The short answer is yes, it does.

The premium version offers advanced features that include added security features like Yubikey integration, sesame, and high-priority tech support.

That said, not everybody is willing to pay the price that LastPass is asking for a password manager, which as of writing this article, stands at $3/mo and $8/user for personal and business plans, respectively. While businesses can justify the pricing, regular users do not.

In this article, we take a look at the LastPass premium and compare it against its free offering to see what both of these account types have to offer. And also, if you can trust LastPass free to keep your credentials safe.

What is the difference between LastPass free and LastPass premium?

LastPass Free

Pros:

  • Access on all devices
  • One-to-one sharing
  • Auto-fill forms and password generator
  • Security challenge
  • Multi-factory authentication

Cons:

  • No emergency accesses
  • Low priority support
  • Lack of one-to-many sharing
  • No advanced multi-factor options

LastPass free offers all the basic and essential features of the program. With the free version, you can generate strong passwords, store them, and access them across all devices and browsers.

The auto-fill forms option makes it easy to access the stored credentials for all the websites. Other features of LastPass free include multi-factor authentication, security challenge that allows you to audit and tweak the weak password, one-to-one sharing, and LastPass Authenticator.

The biggest disadvantage of LastPass free is the lack of emergency access and priority tech support that the premium users receive. If you lost access to your account, this can be a problem.

LastPass Premium

lastpass free vs lastpass premium

Pros:

  • Everything in the free plan
  • Emergency Access
  • One-to-many sharing
  • Support for YubiKey, Sesame, and fingerprint access
  • 1GB encrypted file storage
  • Windows 10 app integration

Cons:

  • No monthly plans
  • Only one user

LastPass Premium is available in multiple plans. The premium plan starts at $3/mo for a single user and $4 for the family plan that accommodates up to 6 users.

LastPass Premium offers all the features that are included in the free plan, plus a number of advanced features. The Emergency access feature allows you to ensure someone always has access to your most important information in case of any emergency or crisis.

Priority tech support puts the premium user’s request at the top of the queue for a quicker response. The premium plan also offers advanced multi-factor authentication options that include support for YubiKey, Sesame, and fingerprint authentication.

Included 1GB encrypted file storage offers a safe digital vault to keep a backup of critical documents like passport, membership cards, and other important documents safe and accessible from any device.

On the flip side, the premium account offers access to only one user. If you want more licenses, opt for the Family plan that supports up to 6 users on a single plan and costs a $1 extra.

LastPass Premium is surely worth it!

LastPass is an excellent password manager with its free plan offering the most essential features a password manager must have. The fact that the LastPass free users can access the program across all devices puts it ahead of its competitors.

The premium plan again brings some advanced security and convenient features like advanced multi-factor authentication, desktop app integration, and cloud storage space that can not only keep your credentials safe but also makes them easy to manage.

LastPass may lack flashy features offered by its competitors like Dashlane, but for what it costs, it is a fantastic password manager.

Does LastPass Enterprise include a free personal Premium account?

Lastpass Enterprise does not include a free personal Premium account, unfortunately. Some users have said that transferring their data from their Premium account to the Enterprise version prompted them with a message saying that they started a 10-day trial period.

If you encountered the same issue, it is best that you contact the LastPass team for assistance.

Can LastPass be hacked?

lastpass free vs lastpass premium

LastPass experienced a security breach back in 2015, which the company claims to be the only instance in its 10-years history. According to LastPass, no encrypted vault data was compromised.

LastPass operates on a zero-knowledge security model in which LastPass never has your master password or access to the data within your vault. You can see the flow of the chart below to understand how LastPass protects your data.

So, in case you don’t know how to re-install your HP Envy printer drivers, do the following:

  1. Go to Search, type device manager, and open Device Manager
  2. Find your HP Envy printer, right-click on it, and go to Uninstall
  3. Wait for the process to finish
  4. After the uninstallation is finished, right click on HP Envy Printer again, and go to Update Driver Software (or you can go to HP’s website, and search for the drivers yourself)

As we know, for now, reinstalling drivers appears to fix all problems with HP Envy printers, but it would be good if Microsoft could include it in one of the future updates for Windows 10/11, so users don’t have to reinstall drivers manually.

If you just want a fast and simple solution, we have the perfect tool for you: Fortect Driver Updater. Within a few clicks, this automated software will search for, identify, and replace your printer drivers.

Besides this, it will keep all of your drivers up to date; in fact, you will no longer have to worry about any old or outdated drivers.

2. Disable UAC (User Account Control)

Disabling UAC (User Account Control) in Windows then might fix your problem as well. Here’s how you can do it.

  1. Open Start Menu and type in the search box “UAC” to open the User Account Control Settings
  2. Turn off UAC by dragging the slider to “Never notify” and confirm by clicking on OK
  3. Reboot your Windows 10 computer
  4. Check if your problem is solved
UAC dIsable

3. Delete Temporary Folder

Here are some steps for you to follow in order to delete the files from the temporary folder:

  1. Click on Start Menu and type in “RUN” and open the app
  2. Type in the dialog box %temp% and click the Enter key
  3. Delete the files inside the folder
  4. Restart your Windows 10 computer
Run Temo Folder

4. Run Windows 10’s troubleshooters

If the issue persists, you can also run the Printer and Hardware and Devices troubleshooters from the Settings page, as shown in the screenshots below.

Monero cryptomining bugs infest Microsoft Windows machines

Posted on by Don Sharpe

Cybersecurity firm Red Canary reported Monero cryptomining bugs that attacked Windows machines at multiple organizations. It has given the name Blue Mockingbird to this type of malware activity it has been following for some time.

Cryptomining is a growing but an unstable sector. According to Statista, it generated $5 billion in revenue between 2010 and 2019.

The Blue Mockingbird Monero cryptomining payloads

The science of cryptomining is costly and computing resource-intensive, making it unattractive to many folks. But malicious actors have found a shortcut to making cryptomining money without having to buy powerful computers.

They illegally deploy cryptomining payloads on the computers of unsuspecting users to take advantage of the free processing power. That is the same reason hackers are delivering Monero cryptominers on Windows PCs.

In the incidents that Red Canary reported, the hackers launched multi-level attacks from numerous fronts to deliver the miners on Windows systems.

The bad actors would start by breaching web-facing applications. It appears they were taking advantage of Telerik UI vulnerabilities in ASP.NET apps.

After breached a targeted system, they would persistently launch multiple attacks using different techniques to deliver their malware.

We’ve observed involving Monero cryptocurrency-mining payloads in dynamic-link library (DLL) form on Windows systems. They achieve initial access by exploiting public-facing web applications, specifically those that use Telerik UI for ASP.NET, followed by execution and persistence using multiple techniques.

Such actors have used proxying software for this purpose before. Also, they have worked with multiple types of reverse shell payloads to breach external systems.

According to Red Canary, the Telerik UI exploit in question, CVE-2019-18935, has been around for some time. That also means it is not going away anytime soon.

Therefore, you may want to patch your Windows systems right away before you are targeted for the next Monero cryptomining attack. That is very imperative especially if your organization uses any web-facing applications.

Alternatively, install a cryptomining blocker on your Windows 10 PC.

We’re on call to respond to any questions or suggestions. Feel free to share yours by writing us a message in the comments section below.

Windows 10/11 version 2004 ditches the old Microsoft Edge

Posted on by Don Sharpe

Windows 10 version 2004, also known as the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, no longer supports the legacy version of Microsoft Edge.

Generally, Microsoft is retiring the old Edge in preference for an improved Chromium-based version. The new browser has a lot of features that are unique to it, including potentially unwanted apps (PUA) protection. But deep inside, it bears the DNA of Google’s Chromium engine.

Windows 10 version 2004 does not support the old Edge

Microsoft has published a list of features that it is no longer developing for different versions of the Windows OS.

 The features described below are no longer being actively developed, and might be removed in a future update. Some features have been replaced with other features or functionality and some are now available from other sources.

As such, the legacy version of Edge is among the apps the company will not be building for the Windows 10 May 2020 Update.

But if you like the older Edge, you can still use it on older versions of Windows 10.

The Companion Device Framework is another feature that Windows 10 version 2004 does not support. Microsoft integrated the tool with Windows Hello to improve the user authentication process.

However, Windows Hello is supported on the May 2020 Update. It even sports useful feature enhancements, such as safe mode user authentication.

The new Chromium-based Edge sports a modern sleek look, and it is functionally superior to its predecessor. The browser is catching on slowly against the backdrop of stiff competition from Firefox and Chrome.

The slow death of the old Edge should not have a lot of mourners though. After all, the browser had a meager 2.23% share of the global browser market in April 2020, according to Statcounter.

Are you a super fan of the new Microsoft Edge browser? Feel free to let us know (or ask any question) via the comments section below.

Amd Has A New Driver Fit For The Windows 10 May 2020 Update

Posted on by Claudiu Andone

The Windows 10 May 2020 update was already released, and Microsoft already signaled some problems with certain display drivers that block the update for some users.

Coincidence, or what, AMD released the new graphics card driver that adds support for the updated operating system.

What is new about AMD’s latest graphics card driver?

Well, the driver didn’t come alone, but together with the AMD’s Adrenalin 2020 version 20.5.1 that brings support for AMD Link Xinput Emulation and fixes a big list of issues.

For those unfamiliar with it, AMD Link is an app that allows you to stream games from your PC on your mobile device. That means that you can play on your Android phone when you’re away from your computer.

Another improvement is the new Xinput Emulation driver that will make an Xbox 360 controller appear in your device manager. And that happens even if you don’t have one.

That allowed you to quickly configure the games to run without a keyboard and mouse on devices like the smartphone.

What issues did AMD fix?

AMD has worked hard to fix some important issues that affected players of big game names like Sniper Elite 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Destiny 2, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Control.

The list is a lot longer but you can read it on the AMD page.

Download the Windows 10 64-bit version of the driver from the AMD release page.

New Xbox One Update introduces simpler Guide with customizable tabs

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

Microsoft released a new Xbox One System today, following the May 2020 Update earlier this month. The first “2005” build for the Xbox One, which was released on May 12, included new game filtering options in My Games & Apps, as well as Community Hub improvements.

Today’s update is actually the third Xbox One system update this month, as it follows the release of a second “2005″ Xbox One build on May 15 that included performance and stability improvements. This third update finally brings the revamped Xbox Guide that Microsoft started testing with Xbox Insiders back in March.

“We’ve reduced the total number of tabs by combing related experiences and introduced a new default, left-to-right tab order, making it simpler to move around,” the Xbox team explained. There’s a new Parties & chat tab that combines text chats and Xbox Live Parties, as well as a Profile & system tab that brings together Settings, audio, customization, power options, and user switching all in one place.

In case you don’t like the default tab order, you can now change it in the “Customize guide tabs” option on the “Profile & system” tab. This revamped Xbox Guide is the second major change on the Xbox One OS this year after Microsoft redesigned the Home experience with the February 2020 update.

It’s not always easy to keep track of Xbox One system updates, especially when we get several in a single month, but the Xbox support website includes a detailed list of all of them since February 2019. Microsoft is currently testing “2006” builds with Xbox Insiders, but we don’t know what to expect yet for the June 2020 Update for the Xbox One.

Windows 10 version 2004 update blocked by a security feature

Posted on by Claudiu Andone

If you are trying to update to Windows 10 version 2004, you might receive the message, Your PC settings need to be adjusted before upgrading to the latest version of Windows 10. Turn off memory integrity protection to continue.

That means that Microsoft found an incompatibility with certain display drivers and Memory integrity protection is enabled.

To protect your computer for any possible issue, Microsoft blocked the update on these devices for Windows 10, version 2004.

How can I update to Windows 10 version 2004 with Memory integrity enabled?

Microsoft also provided a workaround to this problem, and the solution is to update your display drivers.

The updated drivers might be also available on Windows Update. If you are still receiving the safeguard hold, you will need to check with your device manufacturer for updated display drivers (sometimes called video drivers).

How can I turn off the Memory integrity?

If for some reason, you can’t update your display drivers, you will have to turn Memory integrity off to be able to update to Windows 10, version 2004.

1. Open the Windows Security app, and click on Device Security in the left pane.

2. Next, click on Core isolation details and turn the Memory integrity setting to Off.How to turn off memory integrity

3. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Check out these cool Microsoft-themed outfits and custom designs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

If you’re a Microsoft fan and also own a Nintendo Switch and a copy of the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we have a treat for you.

Over the past few weeks, Microsoft employee Jen Gentleman and others in the Animal Crossing community on Reddit have been putting together some cool Microsoft-themed outfits and custom designs. From Build 2020 swag, Microsoft Edge shirts, the Windows 10 Blue screen of death design, and more, there’s quite a lot out there to choose from.

We’ve collected some of our favorites together for you, so you can get all that virtual Microsoft swag for your own character and island items.

Microsoft Build 2020 Swag

Microsoft’s Build conference just wrapped up last week, but if you’re a proud Windows developer, you might want to check out Jen Gentleman’s collection of Microsoft Build shirt designs. These are quite cool, with some featuring the Visual Studio logo, the Linux Logo, the Microsoft Channel 9 robot, and even the Build 2020 logo itself. You can download these shirts and the others on our list by going to Able Sister’s store, visiting the kiosk, and entering in Jen’s creator code, MA-2729-6723-4412.

Windows 95 sweater

Next up is the Windows 95 ugly sweater. You might recall when Microsoft sent out an “ugly sweater” to influencers and journalists back in December 2018. Jen’s second creation is based on this and is styled in the same way. It features the old school Windows 95 logo on top of a white background, with blue polka dots on the arm. It really completes any look, and you’ll be able to influence your Island animals in style to go out to Nooks Cranny and buy a Windows 95 CD when wearing it. You can grab this with code MO-W5W3-L4SP-CCH6 when entering a design ID at the Able Sister’s store.

Microsoft Edge shirt

Third on our list is this Microsoft Edge shirt. Microsoft gave its Edge browser a new logo back in November of 2019, and this shirt design from Jen Gentleman reflects that. You’ll get the same logo that you have pinned in the Taskbar or Start menu your laptop but on a t-shirt. The new logo is inspired by a “wave” and gives the effect of a “surf.” It is perfect for when you’re walking along the beach, picking up seashells and DIY recipes on your Island, or even rescuing Gulliver. You can download this with the design ID MO-06MC-4SGJ-VHBK.

T-Rex shirt

Of course, the next pick is the T-Rex shirt. If you’re a Windows Insider, then this is a shirt for you. Along with Ninja Cat, the T-Rex was the unofficial mascot of the program when it was under the leadership of Gabe Guwin and Dona Sarkar. The shirt created by Jen is quite cool, as the T-Rex is on top of the black background, really putting a highlight on how cool it can look. This shirt might look great when standing next to Blathers in the museum. Download it with the code MO-GT2B-GB6X-1WHF today.

Clippy shirt

The final of the shirts is Clippy. We can’t forget the assistant who helps you write letters, can we? With Jen’s creation, you’ll see Clippy in all his glory, on the front of your shirt. It might be helpful to wear when you’re sending letters or items to friends in your game. Who knows, maybe Clippy might write the letter for you. You can grab it with the code MO-2HLW-0SNK-5R6B right now.

Windows XP Wallpaper

We’ve now turned out attention away from shirt design and have gotten to backgrounds. With u/Cowsezcwak’s design, you’ll be able to put the Windows XP wallpaper on the PC or the laptop in-game item. It’s a nice way to customize the look of your PC, in the room of your in-game house or office. It also might bring back some nostalgia, too. Download it right now with the code MO-WM9X-BJFQ-5W5R.

Windows 10 Bluescreen of Death

We’ve saved the best for last. If you’re feeling frustrated with Windows 10 and have experienced some bugs in the OS, then you might want to customize your in-game PC with the Windows 10 Bluetsceen of death wallpaper. This one was created by u/Minifig81 and it’s quite cool. There’s no QR code to scan, but it’s styled the same way a real BSOD would look like. Download it with the code MO-F0RT-YHDV-M5RD.

Show us your designs!

These are just a small collection of items we’ve found for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you happen to come across any other items or have one of your own, let us know by dropping us a comment below.

Multi-Window chat support is now generally available in Microsoft Teams, here’s how to use it

Posted on by Radu Tyrsina

Last month, we reported that Microsoft has started rolling out multi-window chat support in Microsoft Teams. Today Microsoft has announced that the ability to pop out chat conversation into separate windows is now generally available in the Microsoft Teams desktop app for Windows and Mac. The new messaging experience lets you pop out your group or one-on-one chat into a separate window. You can then resize, reposition, or close the window according to your specific requirements. The feature makes multi-tasking easier while you are in a meeting or in a call.

Microsoft listed a couple of methods to pop out a chat in Teams, and the option can be accessed directly from the chat list, by hovering over a chat, from the chat itself, profile picture, or the command box.

From the chat list

Navigate to the left side of Teams and select the Chat button to open the chat list. Locate the name of the chat you want to pop out, and then; select More option > Pop out chat, or simply double-click the chat name and you’ll see a new pop out chat window (as shown below) on your screen.

Microsoft Teams pop out chat method 1

By hovering over a chat

Secondly, as soon as you hover over one of your chats, there you will see the Pop out button. Click on this option to open a new pop out chat window.

Microsoft Teams pop out chat method 2

From the chat itself

To pop out a specific chat, head over to the top right corner of the chat and select the Pop out chat option as shown below.

Microsoft Teams pop out chat method 3

From a profile picture

Navigate to the profile picture of the person you want to have a conversation with, and double-click the profile picture. There you go! You’re in a new window now.

Microsoft Teams pop out chat method 4

From the command box

You can also use the command box at the top of Teams to pop out chats. Just type /pop in the command box and then choose the chat you want to pop out.

Microsoft Teams pop out chat method 5

As of this writing, the pop out chat feature is not yet supported for Teams on the web, Linux, or mobile. It should be kept in mind that Microsoft Teams users don’t need to close the pop out chat window to do other stuff like adding apps, attaching a OneDrive File, and scheduling meetings. You can simply return to the main app to use those features.

How to change mouse sensitivity [Windows 10 & Mac]

Posted on by Milan Stanojevic

A computer mouse is a key peripheral, and almost all users use it for input. Your mouse allows you to quickly perform any action on your PC.

However, there are users who want to increase their mouse sensitivity even further. This is relatively simple, and today we’re going to show you how to do that on Windows 10.

How to change mouse sensitivity in Windows 10?

Change your mouse DPI settings

change mouse DPI settings

The best way to change mouse sensitivity is to use the DPI button on your mouse. Usually, gaming mice have a DPI button on them that allows you to switch to a different sensitivity setting.

This is the best way to change your sensitivity because it allows you to change it with a single button.

We have to mention that your DPI settings are temporary, and in most cases, they will revert to the default value once you turn off your PC.

On the other hand, mice with adjustable DPI settings are relatively affordable, so if you want a mouse that offers different sensitivity levels, you might want to invest in a new mouse.

Select a proper mouse pad

select proper mouse pad

If you want to increase your mouse sensitivity and precision, you might want to consider using a different mouse pad.

There are many great mouse pads with different textures that allow you to enhance your sensitivity.

Many of these pads are relatively affordable, so you might want to consider purchasing one of them for your PC.

    Change mouse sensitivity on Windows 10 using Control Panel

    If you’re satisfied with your current mouse and you don’t want to change it for one that allows you to change its DPI, you can change mouse sensitivity from Windows. The built-in Mouse Properties settings in Control Panel allow you to make changes to your mouse in just a few clicks.

  1. 1. Press Windows Key + S and type Control panel.

    control panel increase mouse sensitivity step 1

  2. 2. Choose Control Panel from the list of results and click on it.

  3. 3. Once Control Panel opens, select Mouse from the list of options.

    control panel increase mouse sensitivity settings

  4. 4. The Mouse Properties window will now appear.

  5. 5. Go to the Pointer Options tab and adjust mouse pointer speed by moving the slider. You might want to try turning on the Enhance pointer precision option as well.

    increase mouse sensitivity control panel pointer options

  6. 6. After adjusting your mouse speed, click on OK and Apply to save changes.

This is the simplest way to change your mouse sensitivity, so be sure to try it out.

Use your mouse software to adjust the sensitivity

change mouse sensitivity

Gaming mice tend to come with dedicated software that allows you to configure your mouse. Thanks to this software you can adjust the mouse lighting, macros, and other settings.

In addition, you can also adjust the sensitivity of your mouse so be sure to try that.

Keep in mind that not all mice come with dedicated software, so this solution won’t work for every computer mouse.

Modify your registry

  1. Press Windows Key + R and enter regedit. Press Enter or click OK.
  2. Optional: Modifying the registry can cause certain problems with your PC, therefore it’s highly advised to create a backup. To do that, simply click on File > Export.

    Select All in Export range section and enter the desired file name. Choose a safe location and click on Save button.

    In case anything goes wrong after modifying the registry, you should be able to restore it by running this file.
  3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouse key in the left pane.
  4. In the right pane, double click MouseSpeed and set its Value data to 2.
  5. Now change the value data for MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 to 0.

If needed, you can further increase the sensitivity of your mouse by modifying your registry. We have to mention that modifying the registry can be potentially dangerous so be extra cautious.

To change mouse sensitivity from your registry, perform the above steps.

After doing that, your mouse sensitivity will be set to maximum. If your mouse is too sensitive, you might want to adjust MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 values.

Keep in mind that you need to keepMouseThreshold2 greater or equal to MouseThreshold1 at all times.

This solution is for advanced users, so if you’re not familiar with Registry Editor, or if you don’t feel comfortable editing your registry, you might want to use a different solution.

Changing mouse sensitivity in Windows is rather simple, but the best way to do that is to use a mouse that allows you to adjust the DPI settings manually.

If you don’t want to purchase a new mouse, feel free to try any other solution from this article.

Microsoft, Google eye India telecom investments

Posted on by Kareem Anderson

India’s telecom industry is becoming a new hotbed for American tech firm investment opportunities as of late, with Facebook recently acquiring a close to 10% stake in Reliance Jio Platforms and Apple pushing hard with its “low cost” iPhone offerings over the years.

Now it seems both Microsoft and Google are interested in joining the fray with investment opportunities of their own, with the former interested in a 5% stake in India’s largest telecom operator Vodafone and the latter wanting a $2 billion dollar piece of Reliance Jio Platforms as well.

Corroborating the accounts are India publication liveMint and the Financial Times which reports that before moving ahead with Vodafone, Google was also in talks with Reliance Jio Platforms which has raised $10.3 billion in a matter of weeks despite only being in the market for a little over 3 1/2 years.

As for Microsoft’s latest intentions, industry gossip places the company’s interest at a little over a month now, and despite not having a traditional mobile offering, the company seems to be still eyeing some sort of play for the potential 600 million user base India telecoms have access to.

Both Google and Facebook appear to be going after the low-end connectivity markets of India with Microsoft already having established a foothold with a partnership with Reliance Jio to “subsidize Office 365 cost to millions of small businesses in the region.

Microsoft’s new investment interest may be looking to expand its existing partnership and perhaps nothing to do with smartphones, mobile devices, or direct telecommunications platforms, but rather offering the cloud infrastructure to power those experiences for years.

Anti-Hacking Feature Blocks Windows 10 May 2020 Update

Posted on by Don Sharpe

Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) is blocking the Windows 10 May 2020 Update for some users.

HVCI is a Windows 10 security feature that prevents hackers from manipulating kernel-mode processes. In the past, bad actors have injected malicious code at the kernel level, causing all manner of system problems.

While HVCI is meant to validate the integrity of any kernel-mode code, it is now blocking the installation of Windows 10 version 2004. Users that have the hardware virtualization security feature enabled are experiencing the problem.

The HVCI issue impacting Windows 10 May 2020 update

Microsoft has acknowledged the error that some Windows 10 PC users are getting when they try to upgrade their OS. The company identified driver incompatibility as the source of the bug.

If you are trying to update to Windows 10, version 2004, you might encounter an update compatibility hold and receive the message, “Your PC settings need to be adjusted before upgrading to the latest version of Windows 10. Turn off memory integrity protection to continue. To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on these devices from installing or being offered Windows 10, version 2004.

With the compatibility mode in place, affected users cannot update their OS to the latest version in the meantime.

There are two workarounds though. The first option is to update your display drivers with HVCI enabled. Alternatively, disable the memory integrity feature.

Minor Windows 10 updates have caused problems for users before. Fortunately, as with earlier versions, you can choose not to update to Windows 10 2004.

It’s nice to have this level of control of when to upgrade just in case you want to wait and see how the new OS pans out. However, the platform has some excellent new features you may want to try out, including productivity-oriented Cortana.

Have you installed the Windows 10 May 2020 Update yet? Feel free to share your experience with the OS in the comments section below.

How to install a PWA on Windows 10 using Microsoft Edge

Posted on by davew

A Progressive Web App, also known as PWA for short, is a type of application software built using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. PWAs work on any platform and have much of the same capabilities as normal apps, including push notifications, the ability to work offline, and device hardware access. Unlike a web wrapper, PWAs create user experiences similar to regular applications. There is also no requirement for developers or users to use an app store to install PWAs.

Previously, OnMSFT showed you how to install Disney+ as a PWA, but you can install any website as a PWA using Microsoft Edge. In another post, we examined what is great and not so great about PWAs. Before you get overwhelmed, keep in mind that installing PWAs on your Windows 10 PC is not as hard as it is made out to be. With this guide, you will see just how easy it is to install and uninstall PWAs on Windows 10 using Microsoft Edge.

There are two ways that you can install PWAs on Windows 10 using Microsoft Edge; automatically and manually.

1. When you come to a website that supports PWA natively, you can click the plus sign icon to the right of the address bar to install the PWA automatically.2. If the website does not have a native PWA, you can manually add a PWA directly from the Edge options menu. Go to the three-dot menu in Edge, go to Apps, and Install this site as an app.

When you install a PWA automatically or manually, a shortcut to the PWA will appear on your desktop and with your other apps on the app list in the Windows 10 Start menu. You can pin PWAs to your Start menu and your taskbar on Windows 10 for easier access.

You can delete the shortcuts of the PWA apps from your desktop and from your app list at any time. If you want to view the PWAs that you created automatically or manually, you can do so by typing edge://apps into the address bar on Edge.

Using the edge://apps menu, you can right-click any PWA to change different settings, including opening the PWA in full-screen mode, changing site hardware permissions (camera, microphone, etc.), pin the selected PWAs to your desktop and Start menu and uninstalling the PWA.

Alternatively, you can click the x to the right to uninstall PWAs too. From there, you will be prompted to choose whether or not to clear your data from Microsoft Edge. Once uninstalled, the PWA is completely removed from your Windows 10 device. Another way to uninstall a PWA is from within the PWA by clicking the three-dot menu at the top of the PWA and choosing the Uninstall option.

PWAs are a great alternative to traditional apps because PWAs do not take up as much space on your hard drive or hog as much of your Windows 10 PC’s hardware resources. PWAs are also a great alternative to running full apps if you have a device running Windows 10 on ARM, such as the Surface Pro X.

For developers looking to create native PWAs for their organization, PWA Builder is a community-based, open-source website founded by Microsoft that can help you get started.

Of course, if you hover with your cursor over a desktop you will also see an X button to delete that desktop. You can set them up and rename them how you please in order to organize your work better.

Closing applications before deleting the desktop

Be careful because if you delete a desktop before closing the applications in it, all of them will go automatically to the main desktop. So make sure you close any open applications from a desktop before closing it.

Moving applications within desktops

If you right-click on an application while you’re in the virtual desktop view, you will be able to move it to another virtual desktop, snap it on the left or right sides of the screen, show it lol all desktops or show windows from the app on all desktops.
