Yes, that means Microsoft’s own Edge and Google’s Chrome. Microsoft has confirmed it is investigating an issue where Edge will automatically launch when Windows 10 version 2004 reboots. However, users running Google Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox are reporting their own problems. It’s worth noting users can set Edge to initiate automatically on system startup. To do this, users can use edge://settings/onStartup. Still, this new problem is unrelated to this tool as it also affects users not using the setting....

Myerson will be starting his “next chapter outside of Microsoft” after a short break, but took time to reflect on some of the standout memories. One of those is Myerson’s introduction to the company, which happened shortly after a meeting with then CEO Bill Gates in 1996. Myerson was already making a name for himself in the internet space under Intersé, one of the earliest internet analytics and marketing companies....

The Redmond giant might have just killed its smartphone OS plans, judging by the fact that Microsoft did not include Windows Phone in the list of planned investments. Inside Microsoft´s report for the previous quarter (2017 Q2), we find Windows Phone listed among other products and services that may not achieve expected returns. However, in the planning for the third quarter of 2017, under investments, there is no sign of the entire smartphone OS....

Windows Server 17639 now has a feature called Storage Migration Service and another called Storage Replica.

The ability to purchase digital copies Minecraft: Xbox One Edition has disappeared from the Microsoft Store, and new version has surfaced. Named simply ‘Minecraft’, it has all the features of the new update and is available for $19.99. Thankfully, players who already own the digital Xbox One Edition will get a free upgrade. Disc users will get the same offer, albeit with some caveats. You must have played the game for at least five hours in the past year, or purchased DLC....

First, though, users have to set up a pin code in settings via the ‘require code’ option. After entering a pin, users with a scanner will be prompted to touch the sensor to read the print. As well as being faster, this should be far more secure than a pin, which can be guessed. Unfortunately, you’ll have to re-enable the passcode option if you already had it before the update....

While 0.5% may seem insignificant, it amounts to over one million Microsoft accounts taken by cybercriminals. At the recent RSA Security Conference, director of Identity Security Alex Weinert said there were 1.2 million hijacked accounts in January. His presentation at the conference has been uploaded to YouTube and shows 99.9% of compromised accounts did not have MFA. In other words, if an account uses MFA, it will likely be protected from being compromised....

The battle to be the first carrier to bring 5G to the market is on; thus, the conflict between the US government and Huawei. Here are the five things you need to know about 5G:...

Early indications of specs and performance suggest Acer may be onto something. Certainly, the Switch 7 Black Edition appears to have the credentials to match up to Microsoft’s device. It comes with the latest quad-core chipset from Intel and boasts discrete graphics. So, we are talking about some serious horsepower. It is worth noting the core specs are still unknown, but we do know the Black Edition is a 2-in-1 hybrid with a detachable keyboard....

Coming Soon According to the company, it will be ready to take to the air for official duty in 2024 and will be quieter and fly further than previous drones. More importantly, it will also function in hot temperatures and light rain. “Our drones fly hundreds of feet in the air, well above people and structures. Even when they descend to deliver packages, our drones are generally quieter than a range of sounds you would commonly hear in a typical neighborhood....

If you’re unfamiliar with the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, it is part of the company’s 3000 series and is among the most powerful CPUs ever made. It is capable of running triple A graphically intensive games without a coupled dedicated GPU. When the 3990X launched last month, most believed Windows 10 Pro would not handle the CPU. Furthermore, Linux also seemed to be off the cards. Today, AMD has confirmed that is not the case and is backing the Threadripper on those OS’s....

The app in question is Wi-Fi Finder, which has been downloaded thousands of times on Android. As the name suggests, the application allows users to search for Wi-Fi networks in their location. Additionally, the app also created a database of networks. To enhance this database, users were able to store their network passwords on the app for other people to use. Sanyam Jain, a security researcher for GDI Foundation, discovered the database was not being protected properly....

However, nothing speaks louder than money. At Build 2018, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore will be revealing a payment model to ensure developers get a bigger slice of the pie. Starting later this year, 95% of the revenue from consumer applications sold in the store will go to developers. That’s a good offer, but naturally there are caveats. The percentage only applies when a customer uses a link from the developer purchase the app or products within it....

It’s not what many expected. The Kinect won’t be returning to Xbox, but it will be coming to Azure. A next-generation depth camera will combine with Azure’s AI services for use in hand tracking, spatial mapping, and more. “The technical breakthroughs in our time-of-flight (ToF) depth-sensor mean that intelligent edge devices can ascertain greater precision with less power consumption,” said Kipman. “There are additional benefits to the combination of depth-sensor data and AI....

It is worth noting the problem is only in the preview part of the Chromium Edge platform. In other words, the full browser still works as normal. As you may know, Microsoft uses three preview channels for edge, Canary, Dev, and Beta. Starting with Canary as the least, each channel provides a more stable version of the browser in preview. On the Canary branch, users trade off being able to test new features much earlier than anyone else with the obvious bugs of instability....
