In context: Every now and then, Microsoft security patches can wreak havoc on Windows PCs. Users are understandably cautious these days, and even an innocent, empty folder can raise concerns about what's going on in the system after installing one of these patches. Recent Windows security updates released as part of April's Patch Tuesday introduced an unexpected change. After installing this month's bug fixes, users discovered a new "inetpub" folder had been created in the root of the system vo

Windows 11 users who browsed their files after an update earlier this month may have noticed a new folder they didn't recognize. It turns out to be pretty important. The empty folder, labeled "inetpub," caused curiosity and confusion online, with some people deleting it. The folder is used to manage logs for Internet Information Services, but it appeared even for those who don't have that service turned on. While nothing obvious happened after the folder was deleted, the deletion creates a sec

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR It looks like Samsung’s One UI 7 release has been paused due to several possible reasons. Some Galaxy S24 owners in Korea reported trouble unlocking their phones after the update. There have also been reports of a major Secure Folder bug and abnormal battery drain. Samsung finally pushed out the One UI 7 update last week, allowing people with last year’s flagship phones to finally get the new software. Unfortunately, the company apparently paused the roll

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR A flaw in Samsung’s One UI 7 lets media from the Secure Folder appear in auto-generated stories. These stories trigger notifications visible outside of Secure Folder, which when clicked, expose hidden photos/videos. Users should disable “Auto create stories” within Secure Folder’s Gallery app settings. Samsung’s Secure Folder promises to be an encrypted space on your Galaxy smartphone where you can store files, images, and more away from prying eyes.

Microsoft has now confirmed that an April 2025 Windows security update is creating a new empty "inetpub" folder and warned users not to delete it. This folder is typically used by Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS), a web server platform that can be enabled via the Windows Features dialog to host websites and web apps. However, after installing this month's cumulative updates, many Windows users have found a newly created C:\inetpub folder on their systems, although IIS wasn't ins

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Many moons ago, Google rolled out YouTube Premium family plans and hooked me. My husband and I looked at that subscription’s pricing, briefly weighed the pros and cons of paying for a “free” service, and quickly decided that it was a million times worth it just for the ad-free experience. Over the years, with Google worsening its ad-riddled experience on the free YouTube tier, I’ve thanked my lucky stars for my Premium subscription. But while Google keeps add

For years, I’ve been thinking about how we store and access our digital files, especially photos. Everything is moving to the cloud, with complex systems/applications that abstract away what should be simple: a folder of images. I don’t want that. I want something simple. Something that doesn’t need a server, doesn’t rely on a database, and doesn’t lock me into any specific ecosystem. I want something that just works with files and folders, something that can disappear tomorrow without leaving

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR A flaw has been discovered in Samsung’s Secure Folder feature, which allows anyone to view the apps and photos stored in it.
