MICROSOFT WEEKLY: WINDOWS 11 FEATURES LEAK, TEAMS UPGRADES, AND SECURITY
INSIGHTS
Usama Jawad Neowin @@UsamaJawad96 · Feb 12, 2022 13:16 EST with 0 comments
We are at the close of yet another week, which means that it is time to recap
everything that happened in the world of Microsoft in the past few days. It is
safe to say that this was one of the busiest weeks of the year so far in this
space. Read on to find why this was so in our weekly digest for February 5 -
February 11.
WINDOWS 11 FEATURE LEAKS
Interestingly, there were a lot of leaks regarding upcoming Windows 11 features
in this week. One report claims that Windows 11 users will soon be able to add
Stickers to their wallpapers, set priority notifications outside of Focus
Assist, leverage from Tablet mode, and check out their device's sustainability
score. Focus Assist might also be rebranded to simply "Focus".
Another leak indicates that Microsoft might introduce a prompt in Settings for
users who are running Windows 11 on unsupported configurations. The company is
also considering adding an overflow flyout in the Taskbar so you can switch
between more apps.
There are also indications that more functionalities will be added to Task
Manager, as can be spotted in Dev Channel build 22543. This includes information
regarding app health, battery health, and more.
Finally, yet another report says that Microsoft is considering adding some more
features to Windows 11 in the form of App folder in Start menu, the return of
drag-and-drop to Taskbar, acrylic effects for legacy title bars, and a new Snap
Bar UX. All of these are expected to gradually roll out to Insiders over the
coming weeks.
This week was Patch Tuesday as well, and you can find the change logs for
different versions of Windows below:
* Windows 7 (KB5010404)
* Windows 8.1 (KB5010419)
* Windows 10 (KB5010342)
* Windows 11 (KB5010386)
On the Insider Preview front, Microsoft is still ironing out some issues in the
Dev Channel so while we don't have a new build there, we do have one in the Beta
Channel with build 22000.526 (KB5010414). There's a lengthy list of fixes, do
check it out here.
Finally, it is important to remember that Windows 10 version 20H2 (October 2020
Update) is reaching the end of servicing in May this year, so if you're still
running it, it might be time to consider updating to the latest available
feature update.
TEAMS ENHANCEMENTS
If you are an active user of Microsoft Teams, you'll be pleased to know that
there are some improvements to look forward to. First up, Microsoft highlighted
that it has made Teams 50% more power-efficient in the past couple of years
thanks to CPU and GPU enhancements. Some of the performance improvements deal
with GPU-based hardware acceleration, camera optimization to reduce CPU loads,
and upgrading Teams' video re-scaling when working with different resolution
group calls. That said, the company's work isn't done yet, and it will continue
working with CPU and GPU vendors to make further gains in this area.
People who use breakout rooms will be happy to know that their management has
been made more streamlined. Some of the new features include being able to
reassign participants to ensure the correct people are in breakout rooms when
needed, assignment persistence which ensures the same people are included in
subsequent sessions, breakout room timers, the ability to add up to 10 breakout
room managers, and create breakout rooms and participant assignment tasks ahead
of the meeting. All of these capabilities are now available in the generally
available version of the desktop app.
Teams users on Android haven't been forgotten either. They have text prediction
to look forward to, come April. The same will be added to iOS devices at a
"later date".
Since we are talking about Microsoft apps, it is worth pointing out that Outlook
for Android has received text prediction too. Meanwhile, SwiftKey has received
support for more languages, emoji search, and Intelligent Nudge that can create
To Do tasks on your behalf. OneNote on the web and Teams has a bunch of new
features that have started to roll out too, such as auto-inking stylus support,
a new mode switcher, and the ability to resize videos. Microsoft is also working
on bringing an enhanced link sharing experience.
The unified Whiteboard experience that has been designed for hybrid work will
become available for Surface Hub devices this month. And the Microsoft Your
Phone app has been updated to show recent apps in Windows 11 notification area
in Insider builds.
SECURITY INSIGHTS
There was a lot of news to cover in the cybersecurity domain this week. In a
major announcement, Microsoft stated that it is also going to block Visual Basic
for Applications (VBA) Macros in Office files obtained from the internet by
default. This change will affect Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word
files. It will also make it much more difficult for users to enable macros in
such files.
The Microsoft Defender Preview app for Windows and Android is now live too.
Although it is identical to Defender for Windows users, it does bring some added
security for Android devices, with some caveats. Being an always-on service,
Microsoft Defender Preview needs users to grant the “Accessibility Services”
permission. It periodically performs scans in order to lessen the impact on
battery life. In its preview phase, it requires a Microsoft account, but once it
becomes generally available, it will need a Microsoft 365 Family or Personal
subscription. It is currently available only in the U.S.
In related news, security company AV-Comparatives has released it annual report
for 2021, and it isn't super-impressed by Microsoft Defender. This has sparked a
bit of a debate in our comments section, so feel free to participate here.
If you're looking for workarounds to force-upgrade your machine to Windows 11,
be on guard against malicious websites posing as Microsoft offering downloads
for the OS. Such websites usually pack malware such as RedLine. Find out all the
details here.
Microsoft has also announced a Security Insider program for business leaders,
namely Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). Security Insider is
essentially a hub containing guidance from Microsoft about how you should manage
your organization's security.
DEV CHANNEL
* In the Activision Blizzard camp, the company posted a revenue of $8.8 billion
for 2021, but it seems like some of its leadership will be on the chopping
block once the Microsoft acquisition complete. However, the Redmond tech
giant has confirmed that it will continue to make multi-platform games such
as Call of Duty available on PlayStation
* PlatinumGames wants to revive Scalebound and has petitioned Phil Spencer on
the topic
* Minecraft Dungeons now has over 15 million players
* Xbox executive Shannon Loftis has announced retirement after 30 years at
Microsoft
* A research from Microsoft indicates that online civility is finally
improving, albeit slowly
* The Xbox Gear Shop now has Valentine's Day-themed stock
* Microsoft has announced Open App Store Principles for its storefronts
* PowerToys version 0.55.2 is now out with some minor fixes
* In a sneaky move, Microsoft is offering its Microsoft 365 subscription to
legacy G Suite users at 60% off for the first year
* A couple of original Halo composers have threatened to block the upcoming
Halo show due to allegedly unpaid royalties
* Some Xbox Insiders can now pin games to Quick Resume on Xbox Series X|S
consoles
UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Although our original content this week didn't relate to Microsoft, it is still
worth talking about. Neowin News Reporter Dean Howell discussed his thoughts
this week on how Portal: Companion Collection for the Nintendo Switch is
actually a masterstroke for the Steam Deck. You can read his views here.
LOGGING OFF
Before we sign off in this week's column, we want to draw your attention to some
findings from Google's Project Zero security team. Project Zero released some
stats regarding its security investigations into various products developed by
Google and other vendors in the past couple of years. It turns out that most
security vulnerabilities were discovered in Microsoft products and the company
takes 76 days on average to fix reported issues. There were less-than-glowing
remarks for Google's Android and Apple's iOS too. If this has piqued your
interest, do check out the report in full here.
