Microsoft has just released the Windows 10 Insider build 21390 right in the middle of its annual Build developer conference. Unfortunately, this latest flight for Dev Channel Insiders is a pretty minor one, with the most notable change being new Fluent icons for Task Manager and MSI installers, though today’s blog post didn’t include an image.
Microsoft is also reminding Windows Insiders that the just-released Windows Terminal Preview version 1.9 can now be set as your default terminal emulator on Windows. This new preview version of the command-line tool is a pretty big update, and you can learn more about other new features in our previous post.
Today’s build 21390 also brings fixes for news and interests in the taskbar, the Start Menu, Task Manager, and more. You can see the full list of bug fixes and known issues in the build 21390 below:
Fixes
We fixed an issue causing the news and interests text on the taskbar to appear blurry on some resolutions and scaling factors.
We fixed an issue resulting in certain punctuation not being displayed correctly when the display language was Chinese.

If recent flights in the Windows Insider Dev channel have been pretty light on new features, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella gave us an exciting taste of things to come during its Build 2021 opening speech yesterday. “Soon, we will share one of the most significant updates to Windows of the past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators. I’ve been self-hosting it over the past several months and I’m incredibly excited about the next generation of Windows,” the exec said.
Microsoft is expected to share more about the future of Windows during a dedicated digital event in the coming weeks, and we’re looking forward to seeing the company finally discuss the big “Sun Valley” design update that should debut with Windows 10 version 21H1 later this year.
Epic Games’s brand new Unreal Engine 5 is now available in early access for all game developers. The Unreal Engine 5 will support all existing platforms including last-get consoles and mobile platforms, but Epic showed today new UE5 footage captured on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 and things are looking really good.
“This Early Access build of Unreal Engine 5 is not production-ready, but this is where, for the first time, you can get your hands on some of the technology that caused so much excitement when it was showcased in last year’s announcement—not to mention some you’ve never seen before,” Epic said today. The first UE5 demo captured on PlayStation 5 last year was pretty short, but the 15 minutes video below goes more in-depth on the possibilities for creating incredibly detailed worlds.
Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4 currently powers many blockbuster games including Fortnite, PUBG, Sea of Thieves, or Borderlands 3, and it will be interesting to see how the first Unreal Engine 5 games will look like. In recent years, the Unreal Engine has also been used in movies and TV shows such as The Mandalorian and Westworld.
“We are hoping to ship the full release in early 2022 with many memory, performance, and quality improvements, as well as additional new features that will benefit creators in all industries,” Epic Games said today. You can learn more details on the Unreal Engine 5 Early Access on this page.

Many users still use Eudora as their email client, but many reported Eudora authentication failederror. We have already shared common problems and fixes for Eudora, but in this article, we take a look at the possible solutions to fix the Eudora authentication failed/required error.
One of the common causes of Eudora authentication failederror is caused by an incorrect port configuration for SMTP. Find the correct port for your network provider and then proceed with the steps below.
Launch Eudora and go to Tools.
Click on Options > Ports. By default, the port is set to 25, make sure you enter correct Port for your provider.
Check Allow authentication option under the SMTP server section.
Next, you need to modify the deudora.ini file and disable CRAM-MD5. Here is how to do it.
Go to C:ProgramFiles(x86) QualcommEudora (64-bit Windows) or C:ProgramFilesQualcommEudora (32-bit Windows)
Locate a file named deudora.ini. Double-click to open the file in Notepad.
Add the following line of code before the [Settings] line.
SmtpAuthBanished=CRAM-MD5
Press Ctrl + S to save the file and close it.
Launch Eudora and check if the authentication problem is resolved.
If you’re still having Eudora authentication failederror, try a different combination of ports that are available for your email server.
Launch Eudora and go Options > Port.
Check use submission port (587). Under Secure socket when sending, select Required STARTTLS.
Test for any improvement. If none, follow the next step.
Uncheck Use submission port (587). Under Secure sockets when sending, select Never. Try again to see if the mail client works. It not, follow the next step.
Make sure that the Use submission port (587) is unchecked. Select Required, alternate port option.
3. Diagnose port blocking
If a security program installed on your computer is blocking the ports from creating a connection with the mail server, then disabling the security programs such as firewall and antivirus can do the trick.
However, to know if the program is blocking the ports, you can start the terminal and run telnet.
Press Windows Key + R. Type cmd and hit Enter.
In the command prompt, enter the following command and hit enter:
telnet smtp.gn.apc.org 25
If you see the message 220 mail.gn.apc.org ESMTP Postfix [ NO UBE C=GB ] You are neither permitted nor authorized to transmit unsolicited bulk email (spam) using this server, it means the ports are working fine.
If you don’t see the message, follow the next solution to disable security programs on your computer.
Note: Telnet might be disabled by default on the newer version of Windows, including Windows 10.
If you get Telnet is not recognized as an internal or external command message here is how to enable Telnet on Windows 7 and above PCs.
If you have an antivirus with an active firewall installed, it can cause Eudora authentication failederror. One way to troubleshoot compatibility issues it to turn off the firewall temporarily.
If you don’t have antivirus firewall activated, turn off Windows Defender Firewall. Here is how to do it.
Type Firewall in the Search/Cortana bar and select Firewall and Network Protection.
Click on your current active network. In this case, it is a Private Network.
Click on the small toggle switch to turn off Window Defender Firewall.
Launch Eudora again and try to send an email. If the issue is still there, move to the next solution.
5. Disable antivirus
The antivirus program may incorrectly block genuine connections on your computer due to suspicious activity.
If you have an antivirus program installed, try to disable the antivirus for a limited time. Most of the antivirus allows you to turn off the protection for an hour or more. In case your antivirus is the problem, perhaps you should consider switching to Bitdefender.
This antivirus offers great protection, and it won’t interfere with your system in any way, so be sure to try it out.
Eudora is still one of the most popular email clients among its users, but the lack of development means the problems can remain unsolved for years. Nevertheless, we hope you fixed the Eudora authentication failederror using our solutions.
One of the simplest ways to protect your images online is to add a watermark.
This is relatively simple, but sometimes you need to add a watermark to multiple pictures at the same time. In order to help you with this task, we’re going to show you the best batch watermark software for Windows 10.
What is the best watermark software for Windows 10?
We have to mention from the very beginning that Photoshop, as you certainly know, is not just a watermark software, but a powerful photo editor.
In fact, it is the most popular imaging tool and the industry’s standard when it comes to photo processing and graphic design software.
It makes no difference if you want to add a single watermark to a photo or, let’s say, to 100 images – the integrated Watermark panel will be up for the job.
Due to its complex editing features, you can easily customize your watermark with both text and graphics and even play with an unlimited number of layers and masks to achieve truly impressive results.
Combine text layers and adjust the size of the text, color, font, style, and more to design a watermark as unique as the images you intend to protect.
You can batch process multiple files using the Image Processor and you can also try out the Digimarc Barcode, a unique digital identifier that communicates image copyright protection.
Based on patented digital watermarking technology, the Digimarc Barcode has no pixel limitations for watermarking, you might nevertheless want to pay attention to details such as file compression and color separation.
You can adjust the watermark’s durability to suit the needs of your photos.
Adobe Photoshop
Add more than just watermarks to your photos: a whole set of effects and stylized elements are available in this fully featured tool.
Visual Watermark is another watermarking tool that can batch watermark up to 50,000 photos. According to the developers, the tool uses up to four processor cores while editing images so you’ll achieve the desired results quickly.
It’s also worth mentioning that this application has an auto-resize tool that will fix any problems with cropped and full-size images that are in the same batch. As a result, your watermark will appear on any image, regardless of its size.
Regarding watermarks, you can use text or images, and you can even combine the two to achieve some impressive results.
If you want, you can change the opacity of your watermark or you can even use the tilled watermark to protect an entire image.
Visual Watermark supports up to 260 fonts and 66 different effects, so you can fully customize your watermark. If you want to speed up the watermarking process you can use one of the 12 available templates.
The tool also allows you to add copyright metadata to your images. It’s worth mentioning that this tool can resize your photos or rename them after adding the watermark.
By doing so you will easily optimize your images for web upload and distinguish the processed images.
Visual Watermark offers a great user interface, so it will be perfect for basic users.
You can download the trial version for free, but if you want to unlock all features such as watermark templates, fonts, and an unlimited number of watermarks, you’ll have to purchase a Plus or Premium version.
Watermark Software is a simple tool that will let you add watermarks to multiple pictures simultaneously. You can easily add text as a watermark, but you can also use images.
Regarding text, you can change the size, color, font, etc. We have to mention that this tool also supports blending modes similar to Photoshop and other image editing tools, so you can achieve some impressive results.
If you want, you can even use tiled text that will cover an entire image thus providing the strongest protection.
Watermark Software allows you to add multiple texts and images so you can create some advanced watermarks. In addition to images and text, you can also add a QR code to your images to protect them.
It’s worth mentioning that Watermark Software supports EXIF watermarks, so you can add a hidden watermark to your images as well.
The tool also allows you to create templates so you don’t have to repeat the same process all over again. Watermark Software can also upload all processed images to your server once it adds watermarks to them.
It’s also worth mentioning that this tool supports Smart Fit feature, so the size of the watermark will be automatically adjusted so it can work with smaller images.
The tool also allows you to add various effects to your images, and you can achieve some interesting results. In addition to effects, you can add various frames to your pictures.
Watermark Software also supports image resizing feature and you can easily resize all your images without using any additional tools.
This tool can also rename all your images, so you can easily distinguish edited images that have a watermark on them.
Watermark Software is a great and simple tool and it supports all major image formats such as JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, TGA, TIF, ICO, PCX, etc.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a free application, and even though you can try the free version, you’ll need to purchase a license if you want to continue using this software.
If you need to add watermark to multiple images, you might want to consider Arclab Watermark Studio.
This is a simple tool that supports multiple watermark layers. As a result, you can combine both text and images in order to create a unique watermark.
This tool also works with image metadata and it supports popular image formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF and BMP. The application also supports image resizing and you can resize the image after you add a watermark or even change its format and quality.
This is a decent tool, but it comes with a user interface that isn’t welcoming to new users. In order to place your watermark you need to choose between 30 predefined positions.
By doing so you can achieve some interesting results, but unfortunately you aren’t able to freely move the watermark with your mouse.
In order to move the watermark you need to set the padding value which isn’t the most user-friendly solution.
Arclab Watermark Studio is a solid tool that can add watermarks to multiple images quickly. The biggest flaw of this tool is its user interface and the inability to freely position or rotate your watermark with mouse.
The test version is available for download, but in order to remove the default watermark you’ll need to purchase a full version.
Protecting your images with a watermark is quite simple, and if you need to protect multiple images, uMark might be the perfect tool for you.
According to the developer, you can add watermark to hundreds of pictures in just few minutes with a single click of the button.
In addition to text and image watermark, you can also add shapes and QR codes to protect your images. uMark also supports a certain level of image editing and you can easily add border and shadow in order to make certain parts of your image stand out.
Regarding the text watermark, you can add watermark macros, special characters, etc. You can even add certain text effects. The text can be tiled horizontally or vertically and you can adjust the spacing and position.
Regarding the position, you can choose between nine predefined positions, but you can also freely move the watermark with your mouse. Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to rotate the watermark with your mouse.
We have to mention that you can also save your watermarks for later use, which is great if you need to use them later for different projects. All your elements are added as layers and you can easily modify or remove them.
uMark comes with a simple user interface, so first time users won’t have any issues with it. The tool also allows you to resize and rename your pictures after you add watermark to them.
uMark is a solid tool, so be sure to download the free trial version.
Alamoon Watermark is a free watermark software that can add watermarks to multiple images. This is a simple tool and it doesn’t have any special features.
You can change the standard options such as opacity, font size, and color. Unfortunately, you can’t rotate your watermark. The tool allows you to position the watermark with your mouse which is rather useful.
If you want, you can also position the watermark by changing its position values manually.
Alamoon Watermark also allows you to resize images and change their file format after adding the watermark. Unfortunately, there’s no option to rename the images.
It’s also worth mentioning that you can’t add an image as a watermark which is a big flaw in our opinion. Another flaw that can turn away some users is the inability to use a tiled text watermark.
Alamoon Watermark is a basic watermark tool so it comes with the most basic options. The tool is completely free, so it will be perfect for basic users. In addition to the free version, there’s also a Pro version available that offers more advanced features.
Another tool that can add watermarks to multiple images is Star Watermark. This tool comes with a humble user interface and after you add your images you can adjust your watermark.
Using this tool you can add both image and text watermarks. Of course, you can change the font and the location of the watermark.
One major flaw with this tool is the inability to move your watermark freely with a mouse, so you’ll have to choose between several available locations and then enter the offset and rotation value.
You can make your watermark transparent, but you can also add shadow to it so it stands out on bright images. If you want, you can also repeat the text watermark across the image.
You can customize your watermark with 3D text or gradient text effect, but unfortunately, these options aren’t available in all versions. Another flaw of this tool is the inability to see the watermark on your images during the editing process.
You can preview your images after you create a watermark, but won’t be able to see your image during the editing process and instead, you’ll create your watermark using a default background.
After you create your watermark, you can resize or rename your files which is rather useful. There are three versions of this tool and they all have different features.
The free version offers the most basic features while the Ultimate version allows you to add multiple layers and gradient text.
Star Watermark is a decent tool, but it comes with a confusing user interface that might turn away some users. If you’re looking for a basic and free tool to add watermarks to your images, you might find Star Watermark useful.
Total Watermark Professional comes with a visually appealing user interface, so it will be perfect for basic users. The tool also has photo rename, photo resize, and photo crop options.
In addition, you can even change the format of your images after you add watermark to them. If you want, you can also adjust the quality of your images and change other format-related settings.
Regarding watermarks, you can add multiple text or image watermark to your images. As for text watermarks, you can change their size, color, font, and you can even add the contour, stroke, or shadow effects.
Unfortunately, you can’t position your watermark with the mouse, so you’ll have to position and rotate it by entering the specific values.
It’s worth mentioning that every watermark is represented by a layer, so you can combine different images and text to create the perfect watermark for your images.
Total Watermark Professional has a solid user interface and it offers a wide range of features. Our only complaint is the inability to change the position of your watermark easily with a mouse, but we hope that this minor flaw will be fixed in future versions.
Total Watermark Professional is available for download as a free trial, so you might want to try it out.
The first thing you’ll notice about BatchPhoto app is its simple and modern interface. The application is simple to use and you can add watermarks to your pictures in three simple steps.
First you need to choose the pictures you want to edit. The application has a preview pane available so you can easily preview your pictures before you make any changes.
After you choose your images you can add various filters to them. You can add comments, current date, watermark text, or a watermark logo. In addition, you can also rotate, crop, replace colors, flip, and resize your images.
If needed, you can also adjust contrast, gamma, levels, and brightness. As for additional photo editing features, you can adjust the color balance, hue and saturation, reduce noise or sharpen your images.
You can also apply various visual effects or decorate your photos with borders, shadows, or picture frames.
It’s worth mentioning that every effect can be adjusted, and you can also combine multiple filters. To make the editing process faster, you can save your effects as presets and apply them later with a single click.
You can also add new names for edited images. As for renaming, you can assign numbers, append date or time or even replace certain strings.
After choosing the desired effects, you need to choose the destination for your images. You can save them to your PC, send via email, upload to Facebook or Flickr or upload them to a web server using FTP.
If needed, you can change the format of your images as well. As for supported formats, the application supports up to 70 different image formats.
BatchPhoto is an amazing tool that can add watermarks to your pictures, but it can also rename, edit and apply various effects to them.
The application is straightforward, so you’ll add watermarks and edit your images with ease. This tool is free to download, but it will add its own watermark to all your images.
If you want to remove this watermark, you’ll need to purchase a license.

Windows 10 World of Tanks review, tips and tricks
If you’re an armored warfare fan, World of Tanks will hit the spot because it’s the only team-based MMO action game involving tanks.
So, you can step right into a World War II scenarios with your equally eager teammates to bring the victory to your side.
You can play with an increasing arsenal of more than 150 vehicles from all the countries that played a vital role in the war, including Germany, England, America, and the Soviet Union.
Eventually, forget the play and just look at the tanks because they are incredibly detailed in their graphics, movement, and even sounds.
You can actually do that in some sort of sandbox where you can test and upgrade the vehicles and weapons before launching into the battle.
Download World of Tanks
This is a strategy game so you should see what vehicle and weapons suit you best for the mission at hand.
You can either choose a light tank that will breach faster through enemy lines and surprize the opponent in its weak spot.
You can also go for medium-sized tanks that have all the perks needed for a solid advance, or you can snipe away the enemies with a heavy and long-range tank.
The hard part is, in fact, creating a team that collaborates and actually carries out a coherent strategy to surprize and overcome the enemy.
So, as within the real battle, communication and coordination are key. Of course, you can also be the maverick that turns the battle around with his incredible skill.
World of Tanks
Get the most spectacular armored warfare action game in the MMO realm and join the battle.
World of Tanks received some massive improvements earlier and a new awesome version of the game which is World of Tanks Blitz. You can download it and play it for free on your Windows 10 PC.
Top tips for the beginners in WoT
How do you pick up a tank?
The key is to prepare for the battle with the right weapon. So, you need to study the mission and, more than that, the terrain.
Just like in a real battle, you need to adapt the armored vehicle to the terrain you’re moving into.
If you have long distances to travel or you need to get from one point to another fast, it’s better to pick a light, fast-moving tank that will get you quickly to the designated point.
If you’re fighting within a city, you will need to go for a heavy tank, with strong armor on the front side, where you can get damaged.
You won’t need to travel a lot so it’s more important to have the strength and firepower to survive more time.
If you don’t have time to study the tech specs of the tanks and you’re a beginner, go for the British and American tanks because they are pretty good for early on in the game.
Follow the strategy of your team
In a battle, you need to remember that you play as a team not as a lone gunner. Depending on the terrain, the mission and strategy, everybody has to pull its weight.
So, you need to pick a vehicle that your team needs. For instance, you can be the eyes of the team and do some reconnaissance and spot the enemy positions.
You will need a light tank that you can augment with optics that will provide you with increased viewing range. Of course, you will also need to communicate the info to the team.
If you’re more of a loner, you can rather assume the sniping job on the team and choose a heavier gun and destroy the targets from afar.
How to hit your targets more efficient
It’s not a secret that you will have more accurate shots with a smaller reticule on your gun. Also, you should go for a shorter aiming time (the speed for the reticule to get smaller).
But more important is where you hit your target. Knowing your target and its vulnerabilities is extremely important. Hitting a very heavy tank on its front will not get you many hit points.
And remember that most of the time, the element of surprise in a tank battle can be decisive. Once you hit your enemy, you will reveal your position.
You need to take in consideration all the aspects like reloading times, magazines, yours and the opponents. Be always on the move and be patient when taking your shots.
What are the best tanks in World of Tanks?
Based on the popularity and characteristics, the tanks can be also classified as attacking and defending tanks. Let’s take a look at short lists with the best of them.
Best tanks for attacking
The best-ranked tank for attacking is the Soviet’s T-44. However popular in the game, they were only 570 produced and it was never thrown into combat.
The second spot is also held by a U.S.S.R. tank produced starting in 1945, the IS-3. The next year, its production was cancelled with only 1170 tanks produced.
Surprisingly enough, we have a heavy french tank in the next place called AMX M4 MLE. 49. Its development started right after WWII but the tank never reached production.
CHARIOTEER is the upgraded version of the British Cromwell tank. The update was a new turret, and a 20-pounder 83.4-mm caliber gun that transformed into a powerful weapon.
Another tank that was only seen in blueprints is UDES 14 ALT 5, developed by Bofors. It features a gun autoloader and hydraulic suspension.
Best tanks for defense
The most popular defense tank in the game is the VK 100.01 (P), a heavy version of the Maus. It never saw production although it does a pretty good job in the virtual battle.
In the second place, we have a german artillery carrier called RHM.-Borsig WAFFENTRÄGER. Its development was seized in the middle of 1944 due to its excessive weight and high cost.
Next, we have the M40/M43 American tank whose production started in early 1944. It was designed after the M4 Sherman and had a 155-mm M1 gun and 203-mm M1 howitzer.
Another surprise comes from the light Panhard AML Lynx 6X6 French tank that came with a six-wheel-drive suspension and powerful armament.
Canon d’assaut de 105 is another french effective tank destroyer that will help you a lot in your defense. The plans featured a powerful 105-mm gun, but no prototype was built.
You can choose from an increasingly number of vehicles to play with so this is just a short classification based on the most popular tanks used by the players.
Best tips on how to get more credits
Identify the best paying battles
You probably realized that the credit battle earnings are different from one battle to another. You probably also noticed that the different vehicles can be more profitable.
Of course, the top-earning vehicles are the premium ones, but they are also more expensive to repair. The lower-tier vehicles are less rich in profits, but they are cheaper to repair.
So, you will need to make a balance based on your skills and possibilities to get yourself the optimum amount of credits.
Sell your old stuff
After a while, with experience, you will notice that you have some rusty old vehicles that you never play with. You can sell them right away for credits.
Another credits resource can be the Depot where you can get rid of unused equipment and consumables. You can also sell the decals on your tanks for credits if you’re that short.
Team up with a Premium WoT account owner
When you team up with a player who has a Premium account, you will earn more credits even if you don’t have it yourself.
So, try to go with them on special missions in weekends that can also drop some valuable goods too.
Use the referral program
If you invite a friend to WoT you will get some bonuses. If you’re playing as a Platoon with the newly referred player, you will get 50% more credits, and XP and he will get 100% more!
But if he plays alone, he will only get 50% more of each per battle. Unfortunately, you will not receive any bonuses for playing alone.
To get the referral bonus you will first need to get the referral code by logging into your game and then invite a player using that code.

Since it was first added to Windows, back in 2018 as part of the Fall Creators Update, the Timeline feature was considered extremely useful by users, as it helped them manage all the activities on their machine.
We can only imagine that many will certainly not be pleased with this new decision but, as Microsoft so eloquently put it, its time to look towards the future.
Windows 10 users can no longer update Timeline anymore
Users will no longer be able to update their Timeline if they are using a Microsoft account.
Not long ago, this change only applied to the preview builds of Windows 10 version 21H2. However, it seems that Microsoft is making this adjustment more global and permanent.
Keep in mind that this modification will also apply to the users that are currently running the Windows 10 October 2020 update.
Starting in July 2021, if you have your activity history synced across your devices through your Microsoft account (MSA), you’ll no longer have the option to upload new activity in Timeline. You’ll still be able to use Timeline and see your activity history (information about recent apps, websites, and files) on your local device.
Some accounts will still be able to use the feature
Even though the this cross-sync feature will no longer be available to the general public, Microsoft announced that they are not planning to remove the Timeline interface from Windows 10 completely.
Timeline will still be a working integration for the users with AAD (Automated Application Development) accounts.
We are not exactly sure what will happen to this feature in the near future., but remember that there are other ways in which you can perform the same actions, using other software, such as Chromium Edge, Office, or OneDrive.
What’s your opinion on these new changes planned by Microsoft? Let us know in the comments section below.

GPT-3 will be integrated into Microsoft Power Apps, is a low code app development platform that enables everyone, from people with little to no programming experience, to “citizen developers” to professional developers with deep programming expertise to build powerful applications that can improve business productivity and processes more efficiently.
It’s one of the first implementations showing how GPT-3, running on Microsoft Azure platform and powered by Azure Machine Learning that can solve real world business needs on an enterprise scale, Microsoft said.
“Using an advanced AI model like this can help our low code tools become even more widely available to an even bigger audience by truly becoming what we call no code,” said Charles Lamanna, corporate vice president for Microsoft’s low code application platform.
Built by OpenAI, an independent AI research and deployment company, GPT-3 is a massive natural language model that runs exclusively on Azure.
In 2019, Microsoft formed an exclusive partnership with OpenAI to build new Azure AI supercomputing technologies that would accelerate breakthroughs in AI, from jointly developing the first supercomputer on Azure. Microsoft has the exclusive license to the code behind the GPT-3 model that allows it to integrate the technology directly into its products.
With the new GPT-3-powered features, a person can get the same result by typing plainspoken language like “Show 10 orders that have stroller in the product name and sort by purchase date with newest on the top.”
The features doesn’t replace the need for the person to understand the code they’re implementing, but is designed to assist users learning the Power Fx programming language and help them choose the right formulas to get the results they need. This rapidly expands the access to more advanced app building and training of low cost tools.
Last year, OpenAI released an Azure-powered API that enables developers to explore GPT-3 capabilities. Since then it has been used to do everything from writing poetry or tweets to generating articles, summarizing emails, answering trivia questions and generating computer code from plain language.
The Power Platform team uses Azure Machine Learning managed endpoints, a new capability announced in preview at Build that helps users to deploy models of all sizes in Azure without needed to manage underlying compute infrastructure. In one of their first internal use cases, the Microsoft product team is using it to deploy and manage the GPT-3 model that the team is using to offer new capabilities to Power Apps users. The team also added filters to help detect sensitive or inappropriate content in any results that might get returned.
“In all cases, there is a human in the loop… This isn’t at all about replacing developers, it’s about finding the next 100 million developers in the world.” – says Lamanna, corporate vice president for Microsoft’s low code application platform.
The Power Platform team worked closely with the Azure AI team to fine tune a GPT-3 model using Azure Machine Learning that could translate between natural language and Power Fx expressions. Microsoft plans to infuse Power Fx into other tools within Power Platform, as the company plans to expand natural language features by GPT-3 into those products as well.
The Power Platform team, which also works on low code tools to boost business productivity such as Power BI, Power BI, Power Automate and Power Virtual Agents, quickly realized that GPT-3’s ability to translate conversational language into code could help advance the democratization of software development that makes it more easy for many users.
The new features has been announced at Build and will be available in public preview in the English language throughout North America by the end of June.
By reading about other people’s mistakes and by sometimes learning the hard way, we are all aware that the internet is not exactly the safest place.
One simple click can cause major leaks and losses if we don’t keep our eyes wide open. Being smart is being safe in this ever-growing online world, so avoid all suspicious sites and offers you might come accross,
New phishing scheme discovered via Steam
According to the Reddit post submitted today by one of the users, a simple action that he was asked to perform on Steam for a fellow gamer, almost resulted in him losing his account.
Trying not to arouse any suspicions, the innocent request urged the user to just vote for a gaming team. When trying to do so though, what he discovered was a bigger surprise than he expected.
However, in order to perform this action, you have to use Steam OAuth to log in, which is pretty much a common thing among verified websites.
The trick was that, after you clicked on Sign in via Steam, another virtual popup window would open inside the original tab.
This gives most users the impression that they are using the correct steam URL and that it’s completely safe to input the credentials.
Because the Valve corporation name and icon, as well as other elements of the original website’s UI are present, it becomes easier to trick the unsuspecting into providing personal information.
What surprised me was the quality of trick!
2FA data sent to the attackers
The post author on Reddit continues to explain that, in case anyone went through with this sign up process, the loss of the Steam account would be almost a certain thing.
If users had the 2FA option enabled, actually inputting the security code that they received on their phone, could lead to total account takeover, as they would have all the information they need.
Although the Steam platform isn’t commonly used to perform such schemes, its not uncommon. Malicious third parties will never stop concocting new ways to trick you out of your possesions.
So, what we can learn from this situation is that we should never provide our personal information to any suspicious or unverified websites.
Using the latest antivirus software can save us the trouble of having to restore potential damage caused by all sorts of malintent, or try and recuperate lost data.
Always make sure to keep track of where you choose to make such precious information available, in order to avoid data loss or other leaks.
Remember that not everything on the internet is what it seems and that staying protected should be our number one priority, regardless.

We continue our series of articles about problems in the Surface Pro 4. After solving (or at least trying to solve) waking up problems in our previous article, we move on to another common Surface Pro 4 issue.
This time, we’re going to talk about the annoying screen dimming problem on Surface Pro 4, and how to (try to) solve it.
A few things can cause the screen dimming problem with Surface Pro 4, so we’ll cover all of them. If you’re also facing this annoying problem, check our solutions below.
Also, here are a few more problems you can solve with the same solutions:
Surface Pro 4 screen brightness keeps changing – It’s possible for the Surface Pro 4’s screen to keep changing brightness without your permission. In fact, it’s actually a common issue.
DPST Surface Pro 4 – Intel’s DPST (Display Power Saving Technology) is actually a known culprit for the screen dimming problem on Surface Pro 4 devices.
Surface Pro 4 brightness not changing – This is actually the reverse problem, where users can’t change the screen brightness
How do I fix the screen dimming issue on the Surface Pro 4?
Go to Search, type power, and open Power & sleep settings.
Now click on Advanced power settings.
Next to your selected power plan, tap or click on Change plan settings.
Now, go to Change advanced power settings.
Expand Display and expand Enable adaptive brightness.
Now set both On battery and Plugged in to off.
Click OK.
Adaptive brightness is a tricky thing. This feature can be extremely useful, in terms of saving power, but sometimes, it can also be troublesome.
In case you don’t know how this feature works, adaptive brightness scans your surroundings and automatically sets your screen brightness based on a level of lightness around you.
As we said, adaptive brightness can go wild sometimes, causing various issues on a device, including the screen dimming problem.
So, if you’re facing the screen problem, you should try disabling the adaptive brightness feature, and see if the issue is resolved.
Once you disable the adaptive brightness feature, the problem with screen dimming on your Surface Pro 4 device will hopefully be solved.
However, if the issue is still present after disabling adaptive brightness, try the solution from below.
2. Disable the Intel graphics features
Go to Search, type regedit, and open Registry Editor.
Go to the following path: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}000]
Now, open the DWORD called FeatureTestControl, and change its value from 9a40 to 9a50.
Restart your computer.
Another feature that’s similar to adaptive brightness can cause your Surface Pro 4’s screen to dim.
That feature is Intel’s Display Power Saving Technology or DPST, which adjusts your screen brightness based on how dark or light the content on the screen is.
So, adaptive brightness scans your surroundings to adjust brightness, and DPST scans what’s actually on the screen.
Of course, the solution is to turn DPST off, as well, but that won’t be as easy as disabling adaptive brightness.
Some older PCs have the option to disable DPST via Intel’s driver configuration software, but unfortunately, that software is not available on the Surface line of tablets.
So, it’s impossible to legitimately disable this feature on your Surface Pro 4. However, there’s an alternative way of doing that, by using one registry tweak.
So, if you want to disable Intel Display Power Saving Technology on your Surface Pro 4, perform the steps above.
Once you perform this action, Intel’s DPST will be disabled, and potential screen dimming issues will be solved.
3. Check for updates, and make sure your drivers are up to date
Microsoft releases new updates for devices from its Surface line quite often. So, there’s a chance that Microsoft or Intel pushed a new update for the Surface Pro 4 before you found this article.
Just in case, head over to Settings, select Updates & Security, and check for updates.
The same thing applies to your Surface Pro 4’s graphics card. Go to the Device manager, and check if a new version of a graphics driver for your device is available.
Update drivers automatically
It is very important to choose the right driver versions from the manufacturer’s website. In case you choose and install the wrong one, this will not only be an issue for the GPU but may harm all your system.
The tool recommended below is safe, quick, and it will update all your drivers automatically in a single action with no effort from your part.
Go to Search, type devicemngr, and go to Device Manager.
Under Display adapters, right-click your graphics card, and go to Properties.
Head over to the Drivertab.
Click Roll back driver, and follow further on-screen instructions.
Restart your computer.
Contrary to the previous solution, the newest driver may actually do more harm than good. If it doesn’t compliment the other drivers, there could be problems.
In that case, the best decision is to just roll back to an older, working version of the driver.
NOTE
Note:If the Roll back driver option is grayed out, that means there’s no previous driver available. In that case head over to Microsoft’s website, and look for some older drivers for your Surface Pro 4.
5. Set the DPI size
Go to Settings.
Head over to System and select Display.
Now, go to Custom scaling, and you’ll see a screen like this:
Now, choose one of these three options and save the changes:
Smaller – 100% = 96 DPI (Pixels/Dots Per Inch)
Medium – 125% = 120 DPI (Pixels/Dots Per Inch)
Larger – 150% = 144 DPI (Pixels/Dots Per Inch)
Adjusting DPI (dots per inch) can also play a role in resolving screen problems on Windows laptops or PCs. This option should be set to the best settings. However, there could be some interference.
6. Update Windows
As it’s the case with all Windows-related products, Microsoft delivers updates for the Surface Pro 4 through Windows Update.
So, make sure to always keep your device up to date, because there could be some important updates you can’t afford to miss. And by important updates, we think patches and hotfixes for problems like this one.
To check for new updates, simply go to Settings, select Updates & Security, and check for updates.
7. Remove the latest Windows update
Go to Settings.
Head over to Updates & Security and click on Windows Update.
Go to Update history and Uninstall updates.
Now, find the latest update installed on your computer (you can sort updates by date), right-click it, and go to Uninstall.
Restart your computer.
Contrary to the previous solution, it’s also possible that the very update you just installed caused the screen dimming problem on your Surface Pro 4.
Because, well, Microsoft’s updates aren’t always that perfect. To uninstall the previously installed Windows 10 update, follow the instructions above.
8. Change the refresh rate
Go to Settings.
Now, head over to System, select Display, and then Display Adapter Properties.
Go to the Monitor tab.
Make sure the Screen refresh rate is set to 60 Hz.
And finally, the last thing we’re going to try is changing the display refresh rate. Although this shouldn’t directly affect the screen, you can try it if none of the previous solutions worked.
You have nothing to lose. Follow the steps above on how to change the refresh rate of your Surface Pro 4’s display.
Screen dimming and other display issues can be very annoying, especially on portable devices like the Surface Pro 4.
We hope this article helped you to solve the screen dimming problem on your Surface Pro 4.
And if you have some other screen-related problem on your device, check out this helpful article for a potential solution.

The Apple TV app for Xbox consoles, which provides access to iTunes Movies and Apple TV+ shows, is getting support for Dolby Vision this week. If your TV supports this premium HDR format, you’ll be able to watch Apple TV+ shows such as “Ted Lasso,” “Mythic Quest,” “For All Mankind,” and “See” in Dolby Vision on your console and enjoy full-spectrum visuals.
Xbox One consoles have been supporting Dolby Vision for media content for many years now, though today’s announcement regarding Dolby Vision support for Apple TV content only the new Xbox Series X|S consoles. Dolby Vision isn’t as popular as the royalty-free HDR10 format, though Dolby claims that its proprietary technology can deliver 40x brighter highlights and 10x deeper black levels compared to traditional HDR media.
In other entertainment-related news, the Xbox team announced today that Spotify Video podcasts are now available on the Spotify app for Xbox consoles. Background playback is of course supported, and you can also control playback on other devices via the excellent Spotify Connect feature.
As Microsoft is getting ready to kick off its annual Build developer conference tomorrow, the company is once again teasing some big changes coming to Windows 10 in the near future. In a recent job listing spotted by Windows Latest, the company said that it was on “a multi-year journey to revolutionize the Windows UX platform.”
The job listing is for a Program Manager to work for the Interactive eXperiences Platform (IXP) Team in Windows, which works on many Windows features including the Start Menu, Windows Ink, and more. The offer also mentioned Project Reunion, Microsoft’s latest attempt to combine Win32 and UWP app development that was announced at last year’s Build conference

Microsoft is turning its dual-screen Surface Duo into a much better handheld device for Xbox Cloud gaming. Indeed, Microsoft has updated its Xbox Game Pass app for Android to improve support for custom touch controls on dual screen devices, with Surface Duo owners now being able to use one of the screens as a controller.
These improved dual-screen controls for cloud-enabled Xbox games have been available in the Xbox Game Pass Beta app for Android since March, but they’re now generally available for owners of dual-screen devices.. Microsoft’s Chief Hardware Officer Panos Panay himself announced the news on Twitter earlier today, highlighting that over 50 cloud-enabled games currently support touch controls.
A very cool update goes live for #SurfaceDuo customers today! Working with @Xbox we've put touch controls on to the second screen. More than 50 games are available to play with touch for @xboxGamePass Ultimate Members. pic.twitter.com/ZPIqQZXxS4
Touch controls are probably not as precise and convenient as an Xbox controller, though Microsoft now allows developers to create custom touch controls for every cloud-enabled Xbox game. This can really help to make console games feel more “native” on mobile devices, and the Surface Duo’s dual-screen form factor probably makes it one of the best handheld devices for playing Xbox games.
If you own a Surface Duo and want to try playing Xbox games on it, you’ll need to sign up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to get access to a growing catalog of cloud-enabled games. Not all of them support touch controls yet, but games like Minecraft Dungeons, Sea of Thieves, Gears 5, Slay the Spire, and many more already do.
Buying a new monitor can be a tricky task. There are a lot of things you need to think about, be it size, display resolution, or even the type of panel being used on the display. Then, on the other end of the spectrum (at your job) your IT admin has to think about what’s right for the ever-changing needs of yourself and the rest of the workforce.
With Dell recently claiming that 69% of IT admins are expected to increase their budgets for meeting room technologies, I had a lot of questions about the best advice for choosing monitors and even webcams, too. To get those questions answered, I was offered the chance to sit down on a Teams call with Dell Displays product manager Mike Turner. Here’s an inside look at our discussion.
What’s your advice about picking the right monitor?
One of the first questions I had for Turner is the best advice for choosing a new monitor. After all, with the pandemic driving the work-from-home numbers to new levels, monitor sales are on the boom. There are also a lot of different monitors you can buy, from affordable to ultrawide and even gaming.
I’ve already reviewed a bunch of Dells, and Dell has an entire catalog of displays available on its website, too. He tells me that monitor choices all come down to how the monitor will be used holistically in the workforce or at home.
“What I mean by that is if this is a hybrid device, then be thoughtful about how this device will work in that environment. Consider the different types of roles it could play,” said Turner.
Turner and I then went on to discuss some of the other things that go into picking a monitor. He tells me it’s all about the types of PCs it will be connected to, the type of work done on it, or if it’s a mix of productivity and gaming.
Funny enough, he pointed to a scenario I’m familiar with. He mentioned that someone who might be crunching spreadsheets or writing by day might also be a gamer by night. These folks might want to consider things like support for AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync when choosing a monitor.
But on the other end of the story, for IT admins, Turner tells me that Dell uses data to check on purchase decisions. He thinks people really should consider the size and the resolution together when choosing a monitor, rather than independently.
“I am going to think about the size and the resolution. 27 inch full HD could be great for me. Things look a little bigger than on a 22 or 24 inch full HD. I can see it clearly and because I can see it clearly the technology blends into the background. It becomes unobtrusive. My experience is focused on the work rather than how I’m looking at it,” said Turner.
Other factors that go into monitors include the quality of the visuals. For creatives who prefer the best visual quality, Dell’s UltraSharp monitors are best for their deeper color panels and brighter illumination. It’s something that Turner himself takes personally.
“I got three kids now and they’re almost out of the nest. I like to be able to really see my kids looking like they look in real life on the screen. I get a little bit more color, and I can appreciate the color I took in the photo more on the Ultrasharp,” said Turner.
Which webcam works best with monitors or laptops?
I recently reviewed the Dell 27 Video Conferencing Monitor, and part of the reason I loved it had to do with the webcam. With a wide-angle lens and 5-megapixel sensors, it was quite a pleasure to use with Teams, Skype, Zoom, and beyond.
However, not all monitors come with webcams built-in. Sometimes, people are seeking to buy separate webcams for laptops or displays so they can make the most out of video conferencing. That’s why my second question for Turner related to picking the right webcam. According to Turner, the number one pro tip about using webcams relates to lighting.
“I have three different cameras that I use. I have a small LED light, I have that mounted directly behind the camera so that the light source is seeing me from the same angle as the camera. I want to communicate visually, which is a big thing about collaboration is reading facial expressions, and if I have your interest,” said Turner.
Other than illumination, Turner also says you need to think about how you want to join meetings, and if they’re pre-recorded or live. This can shape the resolution you end up selecting. Interestingly enough, he went as far as to mention that your internet speed can impact your webcam performance.
“I’ve done testing with all different kinds of sensors and Teams and Zoom and I can tell you that you can have a 25-megapixel sensor, and your upload speeds could throttle you down to 645 by 360 or something like that in terms of resolution, so I’ll think about my internet connection as well as the camera,” said Turner.
Other ways of picking a webcam can include how easy it is to use, how easy it is to set up, according to Tuner. This is why many webcams are plug-and-play, without the need for software or CDs.
How are meeting spaces changing due to the pandemic?
With webcams and displays understood, my conversation with Turner took a turn to focus on the workforce itself. A lot of meeting spaces are changing because of the pandemic, and some companies are adopting hybrid work from home and in-person scenarios.
According to Dell, IT admins also want technology that drives a seamless experience in the meeting space. Basically, they’re looking for a fast and fluid experience. However, Dell’s research shows that when it comes to conference rooms and other shared spaces, it is a big struggle to find an intuitive, uncomplicated experience.
On this matter, Turner tells me that there are different elements to think about. The first is the fact that there always have been people who weren’t in a company’s main office. The second is making sure that people who are not in the same geography as the office, feel just as included with those who are. A third is a need for smaller conference rooms that hold fewer people. Turner explained that this is something going in at Dell.
“So in our example at Dell, we have different offices around the country and around the world and you’ve always been kind of working with people in other offices, right?” But now more and more people are not going to return to a traditional working environment or at least not return full-time So people will spend more time not being in the same physical space,” said Turner.
As a solution to this problem, Turner says is that you need a camera so everyone can see each other, and remember what everyone looks like, with a chance to connect and see what they’re doing and using their hands. “Using gear with the camera is going to be big, whether it’s in the conference room, or people are together or it’s at the individual endpoints.”
When it comes to conference rooms, meanwhile, Turner surprised me with something I did not expect. He says that instead of having large conference rooms that can hold 25 people, many of Dell’s customers now want smaller rooms that can hold 5. “It is not about the rooms being smaller, but it’s more about more places for people to collaborate, as it’s unlikely everyone will be in the same place again,” said Turner.
How do Slack/Teams fit in with new monitors?
The Dell 27 video conferencing monitor was designed with the conference room in mind, so I was curious what else Dell thinks about when it comes to the boom of Zoom and Teams. Turner says that Dell is always thinking about how the monitor or the device is going to work with Teams, Zoom, Slack, and other software.
“We’re not really wanting to tell folks the strategy you’ve got to follow. We want to look at global companies and say, you’ve got a reason for what you’re done, and we just want to support you and make sure that we are.”
Indeed, a good example of this is the Teams certified hardware. As I said in my review, it works with whatever software you want it with, because the camera, speaker, and microphone enumerate as standard USB devices.
“I think that we found a great way to straddle the line of the ability to provide a great solution for teams well at the same time acknowledging that people are going to run all kinds of stuff,” said Turner.
Dell is always listening
Our conversation ended with a look at how Dell takes feedback into consideration and how it’s building new products. Turner tells me that there’s a lot of ways in which this happens. There’s a process by which IT purchasers can opt into an IT administrator pool and answer questions about the needs of an enterprise.
There’s also a customer advisory council. Here is where customers come in to meet with the design and user experiences team to see Dell’s vision for the next three years and then take their feedback.
The other two pieces of the critical feedback puzzle include a sales advisory board, and social media listening posts. It’s here where people through Dell comb through your feedback. Even Turner does his part.
“I’m on the call with customers probably 15 or 20 hours right, so I’m literally talking to big customers for 30 minutes an hour two hours at a time about what do you want? What? You need what do we get right what could we improve what could we change how are you using this and so those interactions? I’m just one person multiply that by you know, all the people around the world and we’re getting that feedback.”
The built-in password manager in Microsoft Edge is getting a new update that should help users stay protected online. As spotted by Reddit user u/Leopeva64-2, the improved password manager is now available as a preview feature to Edge Insiders in the latest Canary channel build (92.0.895.0 or higher).
The company has recently added a new feature to its Microsoft Edge Insider roadmap to indicate that the browser will soon warn users about weak or reused passwords. “Beginning in Microsoft Edge v.91, we will give feedback to you on which of your passwords are weak and/or reused across accounts. This will allow you to stay informed about your security on the web,” Microsoft explained on the roadmap.
Interestingly, Microsoft Edge users will now see a new “Password Health column” beside their saved passwords, which allows them to quickly glance at the health of all passwords and take appropriate actions. It contains a health bar that informs users if their password is weak or reused across multiple sites and apps. The Password Health column also shows an alert if the password has been leaked in a data breach.
The password manager in Edge is also adding new password sorting options. This means that Edge users will now be able to sort the passwords alphabetically or based on their health. They can use the filter options to display only reused, leaked, or weak passwords.
In addition to the new password protection capabilities, Microsoft Edge is expanding the dictionary tool to allow users to look up definitions while reading a webpage. Users will be able to enable this feature by heading to Settings >> Appearance and turning on the “Show mini menu when selecting text” toggle button.
The Edge Insider team started testing a similar functionality back in March this year, but it was only limited to PDF documents at that time. As of this writing, the dictionary tool is gradually is rolling out to select Edge Insiders, and it’s not available for everyone just yet.
Conan Exiles is a popular open-world game that takes place in a Conan the Barbarian universe. This is a multiplayer game, and to play it, you need to connect to a server.
Many players choose to host their own private server, but many reported that their Conan Exiles private server is not showing up. This can be a problem, but in this guide, we’ll show you how to fix that.
Another efficient workaround for this issue is to use a dedicated VPN to modify your online location and access the server like that.
What do I do if Conan Exiles private server is not showing up?
1. Use a reliable server
If you’re hosting your own Conan Exiles server, you need to make sure that you’re using reliable hosting, such as Host Havoc. This hosting service allows you to have up to 70 slots for Conan Exiles.
The server is incredibly simple to use, and it comes with mod installers, as well as FTP and web-based file access. If you’re a more advanced user, you’ll be pleased to know that command line support is also there.
Host Havoc also offers free DDOS protection, 99.9% network update and it has servers on 11 different locations around the world, thus ensuring a fast, and lag-free gaming experience.
Host Havoc
Host Havoc is a fast and reliable server hosting service for Conan Exiles that will provide lag-free experience to all your players.
This is a pretty simple solution, but few users reported that this workaround can help if Conan Exiles private server not showing up.
This issue only affects certain hostingservers, and to avoid it, make sure that you’re using reliable hosting for your gameserver.
3. Delete all mods
Connect to the hostingserver and open the control panel.
Locate the list of installed mods and delete all mods that aren’t updated.
After deleting the mods, check if the problem is still there. Apparently, this issue appeared after an update, and in case your mods aren’t updated as well, your server won’t appear.
So, if your Conan Exiles private server is not showing up, you can fix the problem simply by removing the problematic mods or by updating them.
4. Wait it out
Sometimes it takes a couple of days for your server to show up in the server list. According to users, it takes about 2-3 days for the game to recognize and index your server.
Currently, there’s no way to make this process faster, so you’ll need to wait for a couple of days before your server appears on the list.
Alternatively, players can connect to your server by using the server’s IP address.
5. Connect to the server using its IP address
In Conan Exiles
Start the game and go to Server Browser.
Now click on Direct Connect.
Enter the IP address, port, password (if required) and click OK.
Now you should be able to connect to the server.
Steam
Open Steam.
Go to View and selectServersfrom the list.
Navigate to the Favorites tab and click Add a serverbutton.
Enter the IP address and the port of the server and click on Find Games At This Address.
Select the server, and choose Add This Address To Favorites.
Now you should be able to select the server from the Favorites tab and quickly join it.
These are just a couple of simple solutions that you can use if Conan Exiles private server not showing up, so we encourage you to try them.

Locky is a vicious ransomware launched in 2016. Although relatively young, Locky has already managed to make a name for itself — and not a positive one.
This ransomware is back in the spotlight due to the recent Facebook .svg.file threat. As a quick reminder, Locky has been spreading like wildfire over the social network lately, affecting many Facebook users. The virus evades Facebook’s whitelisting by pretending to be a .SVG image file and is mainly sent from compromised Facebook accounts.
We’re sure this is not Locky’s last major attack, therefore it’s very important to know how to remove this ransomware from your computer. Of course, prevention is better than cure and we recommend you install one of these anti-hacking tools on your machine as soon as possible.
After all, at this moment, it’s impossible to decrypt Locky files. Therefore, its victims have no other choice but buy the decryption key if they want to get back their files.
Remove Locky ransomware from your computer
1. Run a malware removal program
Download and install an anti-malware program and scan your computer. Malwarebytes is one of the most reliable and powerful tools, and you can download its trial version and install it in just a couple of minutes.
If for some reason you don’t want to download Malwarebytes, you can also try one of the following tools: Hitman Pro, Spybot Search & Destroy or SUPERAntiSpyware. Also, don’t forget to run a full system scan using your main antivirus program.
2. Start Windows in Safe mode with Networking
Press SHIFT + Restart from the Sign in screen. Windows 10 will reboot.
Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup settings and click the Restart button.
Once your PC restarts, choose Safe Mode with Networking by pressing the appropriate key.
Log in and download an antimalware solution. Install the tool and launch a full system scan to remove any remnants of the ransomware.
3. Perform a system restore
A system restore allows you to undo unwanted system changes by reverting your computer to a previous working state. In other words, this action will restore your system’s configuration to a point prior to Locky having infiltrated your computer. This solution works if you already created a restore point on your computer prior to getting infected.
Right-click the Start button > select Control Panel
Search Control Panel for Recovery
Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next
Choose the restore point related to the problematic ransomware attack > select Next > Finish.
We hope these three workarounds help you get rid of Locky. If you’ve come across other workarounds to remove Locky ransomware, list the troubleshooting steps in the comment section below.
As with many of the Windows 10 updates, issues that were not expected are beginning to slowly come to light.
The affectedd party this time is the Chrome browser, which seems to inexplicably crash. This new bug is affecting quite a large number of users.
Google Chrome 90 keeps crashing after Windows update
After applying the latest Windows 10 update, many users have taken to social media in order to report that Chrome displays some unexpected behavior.
According to the Reddit post, this issue is isolated to devices that run on the Windows 10 operating system. No reports of this same problem affecting macOS or Linux have been submitted.
This is very suspect, I wonder if we will find anything out from google.
From what we understand, there is no talk of a certain pattern yet. Only after loading the extension or while the extensions are loading, it appears that Chrome will suddenly crash on Windows 10.
Sometimes the browser launches properly but the extensions, settings pages, and tabs keep constantly crashing.
What can I do to fix this Chrome error?
If you are experiencing this sort of issue, don’t panic, as there are some steps you can follow and put this nightmare behind you.
Solutions range from simply uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome, disabling Sandbox, clearing your browser cache, or running a full system antivirus scan.
For a more in-depth approach to solving this issue, check our extensive fix article. By going through the instructions we have prepared for you, this problem will be dealt with.
Have you also experienced this error while using Google Chrome on your PC? Tell us how you fixed the issue in the comments section below.
If you’re keen on finding out the latest news regarding antivirus solutions along with both online and offline security measures, this news will appeal to you: Four months ago, Avast acquired AVG.
This power move was expected by some, but very few people were actually expecting the new company to release a new suite so soon after the takeover. As far as security suites go, four months is a relatively short period of time to put one together.
That brings us to the recent release of an AVG 2017 suite featuring multiple services: AVGAntiVirus Free, AVG TuneUp and AVG Internet Security.
You might think that you’re getting products entirely of the brand’s making. However, it was only reasonable that Avast put its mark on them. And no one is complaining either because we’re talking about Avast’s CyberCapture file scan system, a cloud feature now incorporated into AVGAntiVirus and AVG Internet Security. This defensive measure will enhance your machine’s protection against zero day threats.
The new mode feature featured in the AVG 2017 suite is called Passive Mode and it is extremely useful when you have multiple antivirus software installed on your machine. AVG will detect what other protection you have then use the new Passive Mode so that both software can run without interfering with each other.
Moving on to DNS and IP related issues, you can also count on AVG Internet Security to take precautions by verifying IP addresses through secure DNS channels. This will combat fake website redirections and improve overall security.
There are other features as well, and the new AVG still retains the brand’s Free version. That being said, you can give it a try yourself and see if it works for you.
Twitter was hit by a bug just recently and it revealed in a blog post that the platform recorded user passwords in plaintext in their internal system. The social media platform fixed the flaw, but experts recommend that you should change your password right now. There are a lot of useful password managers on the market and you could use one as well. As an efficient software, we recommend Efficient Password Manager Network (free download) which will make sure that all your data stays safe.
Twitter requests users to change their passwords
The platform is currently requesting all users to change their passwords and the platform did the right thing by letting everyone know what happened instead of hiding it. Twitter notified both desktop and mobile users by some have reported lags and errors which might be triggered by the fact that everyone is trying to change their accounts at once.
Twitter chief technology officer Parag Agrawal said that “I’m sorry that this happened,” after posting the announcement.
We are sharing this information to help people make an informed decision about their account security. We didn’t have to, but believe it’s the right thing to do.
Set up a two-factor authentication for Twitter
As we already said, you can use a trusted password manager such as Efficient Password Manager Network. To change your password all you have to do is head over to Settings and privacy – Password and change it. It’s also recommended to set up a two-factor authentication for Twitter. In the Security subsection from Settings and privacy – Account, you have to click on Review your login verification methods. After entering the new password, you will see a Login verification screen where you can configure everything to receive second-factor codes via SMS.
Twitter did not comment on how long the plaintext passwords would be exposed.
