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.
PC problemsSome Windows PCs may wake from sleep because of third-party apps or Windows itself. If your PC is turning on when you did not expect it to, this could be the reason. The report does not give a fix, but it does point to possible causes to check on affected Windows PCs.
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.
Drivers & hardwareMemtest86+ 9.0 now supports ARM64 devices, including Snapdragon X laptops and Raspberry Pi boards. The update also adds new RowHammer and memory bus stress tests, plus USB reports. Windows PC users who want to check for bad RAM or memory-related instability can use the updated tool to test affected systems.
Windows updatesMicrosoft is testing a new Settings app for Windows 11 in the Microsoft Store, and it could help speed up fixes for Settings and the move away from Control Panel. The preview build includes helper tools for tasks like renaming a PC and is currently aimed at Insider PCs. If you are not on the Insider program, there is nothing to do yet.
PC problemsMicrosoft may be turning Windows 11 Settings into a Microsoft Store app as part of Project Odeon. The change could speed up the long move away from Control Panel, which affects Windows 11 users who manage system settings there.
Drivers & hardwareMicrosoft is not patching some older Windows Server versions, and a small security firm is stepping in with new fixes for a dangerous security vulnerability. The 0patch service says the updates are for several dead Windows Server editions, which still remain exposed if they are not covered by Microsoft support. Users running those older servers should apply the available 0patch updates now.
Microsoft appsMicrosoft has announced the Xbox Nano controller, a smaller and cheaper controller for Xbox players. It is designed for people who want something portable, including younger players, people with smaller hands, or anyone who wants to play on the go. The controller is meant for Windows and Xbox users who want a compact option. Readers who want one can look for Microsoft’s new controller announcement and pricing.
Windows updatesPython 3.15 now delivers a native-by-default experience on Windows on Arm. Microsoft says the wider ecosystem has matured, with more package maintainers publishing native Arm64 wheels, which should make Python development on Windows on Arm easier for users and developers.
OutagesGoogle says counterfeit TLS certificates for major services were stolen by hackers after three country-code top-level domains were hijacked. The issue could affect access to several leading global brands on Windows PCs and other devices. Google has not said more in the summary about a fix or any action readers should take.
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.
Rachel DonovanThat caught my eye because it sounds like a big shift from the usual “disc means disc” setup. Has anyone here tried it yet, and did it feel seamless or a bit clunky?
Sophie KleinThis week my ASUS laptop did a funny thing after sleep mode. The screen was black for a few seconds, then it came back like nothing happened. I was a little worried because I was in the middle of studying. Did this happen to anyone else too?
