MICROSOFT REITERATES “NON-NEGOTIABLE” TPM 2.0 REQUIREMENT FOR WINDOWS 11

Dec 04, 2024 - 7:37 PM - by Reverend

> For most people, Windows 10 security updates are slated to stop on October 14,
> 2025, just over 10 months from today. That could end up being a serious
> security problem, given that Windows 10 is still the version used by a large
> majority of the world's PCs.
> 
> Users will be able to buy a one-year reprieve for $30, and businesses and
> other organizations will have the option to pay for two more years after that.
> But the easiest and cheapest way out of the problem—an upgrade to Windows 11,
> which is still free for Windows 10 PCs that can run it—still remains out of
> reach for many active PCs because of Windows 11's more stringent system
> requirements.
> 
> Microsoft has reiterated this week that it has no plans to loosen those
> requirements to boost Windows 11's adoption numbers, focusing particularly on
> the need for a TPM 2.0 device. Short for Trusted Platform Module, a TPM stores
> encryption keys and performs other cryptographic functions, and Windows uses
> it to seamlessly decrypt your PC's disk at boot, among other things. A TPM 2.0
> module is a "non-negotiable" requirement for boosting Windows 11's security
> baseline, says Microsoft, and that apparently won't be changing.
> 
> Windows 11 has other system requirements, though they weren't the focus of
> this TPM-centric blog post. Windows 11 systems must have Secure Boot enabled,
> and they have to use a supported processor—an 8th-gen Intel Core CPU, an AMD
> Ryzen 2000 CPU, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 CPU or newer. In fact, these CPU
> requirements exclude a couple of generations' worth of Intel and AMD chips
> with built-in TPM 2.0 support.
> 
> Windows 11 also has nominal requirements for RAM and processor speed, but any
> system that meets the CPU or TPM requirements will easily clear those bars. If
> you have a supported CPU and your PC doesn't appear to support TPM 2.0, you
> should be able to enable it in your system's BIOS, either manually or by
> installing a BIOS update for your motherboard.
> 
> Windows 11 can be installed on unsupported systems, either those with an older
> TPM 1.2 module or no TPM enabled at all. It's more annoying to install major
> updates on those systems, and Microsoft reserves the right to pull updates
> from those systems at any time, but aside from that, Windows 11 usually runs
> about as well on these PCs as Windows 10 did.

PS5 ANNIVERSARY UPDATE ADDS THEMES FOR EACH GENERATION OF THE PLAYSTATION

Dec 02, 2024 - 8:21 PM - by Reverend

> Sony is giving gamers a surprise shot of nostalgia to celebrate PlayStation’s
> 30th anniversary — and not just the retro hardware that sold out in a flash. A
> software update pushed on Monday adds the classic boot screen and themes for
> each generation of console hardware. “Choose your favorite generation,” Sony’s
> introduction advises before popping up a menu with screen theming options for
> the PS1 through PS4.
> 
> After receiving today’s update, the software will prompt you to pick one when
> you boot up for the first time. As you’d expect, the themes change the PS5
> dashboard’s menu colors and sound to match each console’s UI. You can try
> other themes in a new “PlayStation 30th Anniversary” item atop the console’s
> settings menu.
> 
> Unfortunately, Sony says the themes are only available “for a limited time.”
> (It hasn’t said exactly when they’ll be gone.)
> 
> Sony did a more pared-down version of this a decade ago when it celebrated 20
> years of PlayStation. A free 2014 anniversary theme fitted the PS4, PS3 and
> Vita with the PS1’s look and startup sound.

INSTAGRAM DMS HAVE A NEW LOCATION-SHARING FEATURE

Nov 25, 2024 - 7:35 PM - by Reverend

> Instagram spruced up its DM features on Monday. You can now share your live
> location with friends, handy for meetups at concerts or other crowded places.
> The social platform also now lets you add nicknames in one-on-one or group
> chats, and there are over 300 new stickers to share in DMs.
> 
> You can turn on the new location-sharing feature for up to one hour. It only
> displays to people in your private DMs (one-on-one or group), and locations
> can’t be forwarded to anyone outside the designated chat. The feature is off
> by default, and you’ll see a “You are sharing your location” indicator at the
> top of every message thread where you enable it. You can also stop sharing it
> manually anytime.
> 
> Nicknames let you add aliases for yourself or friends inside DMs. “Share an
> inside joke with a nickname, or simplify lengthy usernames so your friends are
> easier to recognize,” Instagram’s announcement blog post suggests.
> 
> The nicknames only appear in your DMs, not anywhere else on the platform. You
> can pick or swap out your nickname anytime and choose which friends in a chat
> have permission to change yours. To create a moniker, tap on the chat name at
> the top of your conversation, select “Nicknames” and choose the username you
> want to change.
> 
> Finally, Instagram added 17 new sticker packs for DMs, making over 300 new
> ones available. You can favorite the stickers you like, including those your
> friends share.

MICROSOFT WARNS THAT THE LATEST WINDOWS 11 UPDATE MAY CRASH PC GAMES NOW

Nov 25, 2024 - 7:32 PM - by Reverend

> Microsoft has once again temporarily halted the rollout of its latest major
> Windows 11 update, also known as 24H2. This time it is for systems running
> select Ubisoft games following widespread user reports of crashes and
> performance issues. The affected titles include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla,
> Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws, and
> Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
> 
> Common complaints include black screens, freezing, and unresponsiveness during
> gameplay or while loading these titles. “I just bought a new gaming laptop
> with RTX 4080, Intel i9 14900hx. I can’t play the game (Origins) even for 5
> minutes because it crashes to a black screen, with audio, and the only way to
> close it is from task manager. Impossible to play,” one user shared on Reddit.
> Others reported similar frustrations, citing the persistent error “NTDLL.dll”
> that renders their games unplayable.
> 
> Ubisoft has released a temporary fix for Star Wars Outlaws, but Microsoft
> warns that players may still experience performance issues. For now, the tech
> giant advises users to avoid manually installing the 24H2 update and to
> force-quit unresponsive games using Task Manager until a permanent fix is
> deployed.
> 
> This is one of many compatibility issues tied to the 24H2 update. Last month,
> problems arose with competitive multiplayer games relying on Epic’s Easy
> Anti-Cheat software, impacting popular titles like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and
> Rocket League. There was also an incompatibility issue with certain Western
> Digital SSDs.
> 
> Microsoft confirmed it is actively working with Ubisoft and other developers
> to address the glitches, though no timeline for a solution has been provided.
> The company has promised to re-enable the update for affected systems once the
> fixes are in place.

WINDOWS RECALL IS NOW AVAILABLE TO TEST IN LIMITED PREVIEW

Nov 25, 2024 - 7:30 PM - by Reverend

> After a series of delays, Microsoft’s Windows Recall feature is now available
> in a limited preview for Copilot+ PCs.
> 
> Recall, which takes regular snapshots of a user’s screen to provide a
> searchable timeline of actions, drew criticism from security and privacy
> experts when it was unveiled earlier this year.
> 
> On Friday, Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 build for Windows Insider’s
> Dev Channel that includes Recall and Click To Do, another Copilot+ feature in
> preview that provides an interactive overlay on a user’s screen.
> 
> The number of Windows Insiders testing the features is likely to be small at
> this stage, as Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2415 (KB5046723) can
> only be accessed on Copilot+ PCs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Support for
> devices running AMD and Intel chips is “coming soon,” Microsoft said in a blog
> post.
> 
> The announcement marks the next step toward a full release for a feature that
> was labeled a “privacy nightmare” upon its announcement in May.
> 
> A planned rollout in June was postponed in response, and Microsoft has
> attempted to address security and privacy concerns with several updates. This
> includes making the feature “opt-in,” requiring biometric authentication with
> Windows Hello prior to use, blocking detection of personal details such as
> credit card details and passwords, and the addition of a “virtualization-based
> security enclave” (VBS Enclave) to secure data on a user’s device.

MICROSOFT JUST KILLED THE WINDOWS 10 BETA CHANNEL FOR GOOD

Nov 18, 2024 - 7:33 PM - by Reverend

> Microsoft has shut down the Windows 10 Beta Channel and will move all enrolled
> Windows Insiders to the Release Preview Channel.
> 
> This comes after the company reopened the Windows 10 beta channel in early
> June, releasing the first Beta build three years after the last such build was
> rolled out to Windows 10 Insiders in 2021.
> 
> "To bring new features and more improvements to Windows 10 as needed, we need
> a place to do active feature development with Windows Insiders," the Windows
> Insider team said on June 4.
> 
> "So today, we are opening the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders who are
> currently on Windows 10. This will allow us to try out new features for
> Windows 10, version 22H2, with Insiders before releasing them to all Windows
> 10 customers."
> 
> Today, just five months later, Microsoft killed the Beta Channel again without
> explanation or any other revival plans, saying that all Insiders would be
> automatically switched to the Release Preview Channel and advising customers
> to prepare for Windows 10 end of support "by moving to Windows 11 today."
> 
> "This will be the last time we release a Windows 10 build to the Beta Channel
> as we will be shutting down the Beta Channel for Windows 10," the Windows
> Insider team said on Thursday.
> 
> Statcounter Global Stats data shows that over 60% of all Windows systems
> worldwide still run Windows 10, while only 35% run Windows 11, three years
> after its October 2021 launch.
> 
> Windows 10 22H2, the last Windows 10 version to be released, will still
> receive monthly security update releases through October 14, 2025, when
> Windows 10 will reach the end of support.
> 
> After this date, Redmond will stop fixing bugs and releasing security updates
> for newly discovered vulnerabilities impacting Windows 10 systems.
> 
> However, Microsoft also announced on October 31 that Windows 10 home users can
> delay the switch to Windows 11 for one more year if they pay $30 for Extended
> Security Updates (ESU).
> 
> "The ESU program for consumers will be a one-year option available for $30.
> Program enrollment will be available closer to the end of support in 2025,"
> said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief
> Marketing Officer.
> 
> The company also revealed that the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates will
> be offered to enterprise customers on November 1, 2024, while the first ESU

> 
> "We'll share more details on availability of the cloud-based Extended Security
