Microsoft strengthens Windows 365 Cloud PCs with virtualization-based protection

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-09-05 13:47:00

What just happened? Cloud-based Windows installs are generally more secure than local setups, especially against physical and network attacks targeting endpoint devices. Now, Microsoft is raising the bar further by enhancing security features specifically for Windows 365 Cloud PCs. Microsoft recently announced two security-focused changes to the Windows 365 Cloud PC platform. The subscription-based service will soon disable all user-level file redirections and enable several virtualization-base

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-06 17:55:26

Microsoft has announced new Windows 365 security defaults starting in the second half of 2025 and affecting newly provisioned and reprovisioned Cloud PCs. The company said these changes include disabling the clipboard, drive, USB, and printer redirections by default to block users from copying files between Cloud PCs and physical devices through clipboard functions to reduce risks of data theft and block malware attacks. However, while USB redirections will be disabled by default, they only ta

I finally found a mini PC with a striking design (and the power to back it up)

Icons of Aviation History: Boeing X-29

In the 1980s, experiments were begun with a radical new aircraft design–the forward-swept wing. This odd-looking configuration promised a number of aerodynamic benefits. However, these benefits came with some severe limits as well. Grumman X-29 photo from WikiCommons Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut photo from WikiCommons One of the primary advantages of forward-swept wings is greatly improved maneuverability, which is always a desired characteristic in a military fighter jet.

Why Microsoft’s next Xbox should just run Windows already

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-08 13:54:36

Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that it's not abandoning the home console market just yet. In a short video teaser, Xbox President Sarah Bond highlighted a "strategic multi-year partnership with AMD" that will include "our next-generation Xbox consoles in your living room and in your hands." But while we know that the "in your hands" part will include devices like the Windows-powered ROG Xbox Ally, there are still few specifics about what exactly Microsoft has planned for its future living room c

How to clear the cache on your Windows 11 PC (and why it makes such a big difference)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET If your computer desktop looks a little chaotic and you're noticing some performance slowdown, it might be time to do a cleanup.

The Xbox Ally's Biggest Specs Upgrade Could Just Be Better Windows 11 for Handhelds

The same thing that makes Windows gaming handhelds desirable also holds them back. It's never been the hardware. The designs aren't perfect in a lot of the devices -- even the best of the lot, the Asus ROG Ally and ROG Ally X, which are the basis of the forthcoming ROG Xbox Ally -- but they're generally playable. The culprit has always been Windows. It simply isn't an operating system designed for a dedicated gaming handheld, and that needs to change. Of course, we'd all love the Xbox Ally to

Windows 11 now lets EU users export Recall data – if they still trust it

Editor's take: Microsoft is testing a new Recall "export experience" for unpaid beta testers in the Windows Insider program that it was forced to build to comply with European laws. That said, we still believe every Windows user with a sane mind should simply disable and uninstall the entire Recall mess – for good. Microsoft recently released a new Windows 11 Preview Build to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders (KB5060816). The update includes a significant addition for owners of Copilot+ PCs

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Over the past year, several Windows-like Linux distributions have been given the spotlight. A couple of those distributions were nothing more than malware in disguise, which has made me a bit squirrely about trying others, but to let a couple of bad apples spoil the entire bushel isn't fair, in my opinion.

Within this seemingly simple computation, however, lurks a powerful multiplier. At any given level of the building, the compression figure remains constant; the wind may blow harder, but the structure doesn’t get any heavier. Thus, immense leverage can result from higher wind forces. In the Citicorp tower, the forty-per-cent increase in tension produced by a quartering wind became a hundred-and-sixty-per-cent increase on the building’s bolts. Precisely because of that leverage, a margin of safe
