Many people with a 365 email account who have worked with a company for ages or frequently deal with particularly large emails will have received warnings about their quota being hit soon over the years. Microsoft have a plan to reduce the chances of that happening.
Amongst the many warnings about Windows 10 being out of support later this month, you may well have missed the fact that running a couple of other popular Microsoft products also becomes a security liability on the very same day.
Is it that time of year already? Windows users will be familiar by this point with annual operating system updates that add new features and improvements, and this year's batch are just around the corner. What changes can we expect this time?
A little over 10 years after it was first released, Microsoft's hugely popular Windows 10 operating system is now reaching the end of the road. The final mainstream support updates will be released in the next few weeks, after which point devices will become increasingly vulnerable to attack. What are your options if you're still running Windows 10?
The endless march of AI continues as Microsoft add full Copilot integration to their Edge web browser. The service, available to try for free for a limited time, is the future of web browsing according to Microsoft's blurb about the launch. Are they right?
Microsoft has moved a step closer to a password-free future by making passkeys the default authentication method for all new Microsoft accounts. This change aims to enhance security and streamline the user experience across its services like Outlook, Xbox, and Microsoft 365.
The endless stream of AI stories continues. This month, Microsoft have released an updated version of their Copilot tool which can now effectively look at what's open in your web browser and provide advice and feedback without you having to explain what you're seeing on-screen.
A new defence tool against scammers is being added to Microsoft's Edge web browser. While their "Defender" security suite does already have the ability to warn about website scams, that assumes it's something they already know about. What if you're the first to see it?
As we have been flagging for some time, Microsoft will no longer be supporting their Windows 10 operating system from October. They've now announced that the other 365 apps (Word, Outlook etc) will be subject to the same fate. Support for these will be withdrawn on the same day.
As we have highlighted before, and will no doubt highlight again, support for Microsoft's aging Windows 10 operating system ends in October. In preparation for this, Microsoft have now outlined pricing for optional "extended" support beyond this date.
