Windows updatesMicrosoft is rolling out a Windows 11 Search overhaul with inline actions and a cleaner interface. The change affects Windows 11 users, and richer results are planned. If you want to try it, the story says there is a way to do so now.
PC problemsA fake WatchGuard VPN download site is stealing administrator credentials and can give attackers direct access to corporate networks. Windows users in affected organizations should avoid unofficial download links and use the official WatchGuard installer source only. The site delivers genuine signed software, so the theft may not be obvious to victims.
PC problemsGoogle has turned some Nest thermostats back into dumb thermostats, affecting owners of the supported models. The summary says an open-source project can save them, so affected users should look into that option if they want to keep using the devices.
Windows updatesMicrosoft says Windows 11 will block ReFS on USB drives. That affects people who want to use the NTFS alternative on removable storage.
If you rely on ReFS for external drives, you will need to use another file system instead. Microsoft has not said anything else in the summary about a workaround.
Drivers & hardwareEnergize Lab left its fleet of 68,000 Eiliko robots open to a remote takeover, according to an investigation cited in the summary. The issue affected the company’s active robots and exposed conversations across the fleet, including profiles belonging to children. Windows users with these devices should treat this as a security issue and wait for or apply any fix from the maker.
OutagesIf your Nintendo Switch 2 is not connecting to the TV, there are a few things to check. The story says the console is meant to project its display to a TV, so this is for readers whose docked setup is not working and want to troubleshoot it.
Drivers & hardwareSecurity researchers are warning that calendar invites are being used as a new phishing vector, and email filters are not catching it. The attacks are targeting work calendars and have surged in recent months.
Windows PC users who rely on calendar invites at work should be cautious with unexpected meeting requests and avoid opening or accepting anything suspicious.
Microsoft appsMicrosoft’s Patch Tuesday updates are out for Windows and other Microsoft software, including Office, SQL Server, developer tools and browsers. Windows PC users who rely on these products should install the latest security updates and patches to keep their systems protected and up to date.
Microsoft appsMicrosoft’s October Patch Tuesday includes 1,408 CVEs and one already exploited Windows flaw. The exploited issue is a Windows Shell bug that can bypass Mark of the Web, and Microsoft says customers need to take action. The release also includes fixes for critical issues and a SharePoint Server flaw that was attacked before the update.
OutagesGlobal timekeeping is changing as the leap second is being scrapped. The change is meant to avoid infrastructure failures, and it matters to Windows users because timing issues can affect connected systems and services. No action is mentioned in the summary.
Gary MitchellLaptop’s been acting daft this week. It keeps freezing for a bit when I’ve got email open and I’m trying to do invoices, then it comes back like nothing’s happened. Proper annoying when I’m busy. Anyone else had that and found a simple fix?
Kevin AshfordAnyone else seeing Narrator give weird image descriptions on a regular Windows 11 PC this week? I had one machine where it kept describing the wrong thing on screen, and it sounded like it was guessing. Wondering if this is just a bad update or something buried in the accessibility settings.
