A few times a day, I will randomly get message from Windows/MS saying I should consider changing my password(s), but when I click on it, nothing happens, yet a few hours later, the message is back. What the hell is this and can I stop it?

Hello,

 

I don't recall seeing a message like that from the operating system.  The next time it appears, can you capture a screenshot of it and share it in your reply?

Regards,

    • Hundreds of printer models with weak password algorithms exposed, no firmware patch possible

      I've got a basic black and white laser printer that's connected via USB and doesn't do wifi etc. I think I'm going to be just fine.
    • Edge 138 is out with AI-powered history search and other changes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Edge 138 is out with AI-powered history search and other changes by Taras Buria Microsoft has released Edge 138, the latest major update for the browser. Version 138.0.3351.55 introduces some interesting changes and new features, such as AI-powered history search. There are also several bug fixes and security patches. For regular users, the biggest and most important change in Edge 138 is AI-powered history search. This feature allows you to find sites in your history using synonyms, phrases, or misspelled words. Microsoft uses an on-device model, which does not send your data anywhere. Note that this feature is rolling out gradually, which means it might take a few days or weeks to show up on your system. Another useful change is new performance notifications. Performance and Extensions Detector notifications may appear in the main menu when the browser detects performance dips to help users learn about available performance-optimization tools. Autofill settings received a new consent toggle, which allows Microsoft to improve the autofill capabilities by collecting field names as you browse. This only applies to field names, such as "First Name, "Email," etc. It does not send the data you enter or autofill to Microsoft. Other changes include the following: Use the Primary work profile as the default profile to open external links. With this feature, for Windows, Edge checks if the Primary Work Profile exists and makes it the default profile for opening external links if available. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat Summarization in Microsoft Edge Context Menu. This feature helps users quickly unpack and ask questions about their open page. Copilot on the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page (NTP). Users may see suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts in their search box on the NTP page. Adding support for viewing Sensitivity labels applied to a Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) Protected PDF. Enterprise customers can view sensitivity labels applied to MIP protected PDF to be well informed of the data classification to enable them to handle such sensitive documents. And here is what was fixed: Fixed an issue that caused WebDriver automation to fail in Microsoft Edge versions 133 and later. Fixed an issue where re-enabled textarea elements remained non-editable. This issue affected activating a role assignment in Privileged Identity Management. Finally, Edge 138 patches six security vulnerabilities, three of which were Microsoft Edge-specific, and the remaining three originated from Chromium. You can find details about those fixes here. The next Microsoft Edge update, version 139, is expected in the week of August 7, 2025.

    • Microsoft shares detailed performance benchmarks for Windows 11 vs 10 to show the faster PC

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Per the linked article: "Based on testing performed by Microsoft in December 2024 using Geekbench 6 Multi-core score comparing a selection of Windows 10 PCs with Intel Core 6th, 8th, and 10th generation processors and Windows 11 PCs with Intel Core 12th and 13th generation processors." I get that this is just advertising and all, but damn, I can smell the BS all the way over here. How about benchmarking 10 vs 11 on that same 13th gen processor? Apples and oranges make a lovely fruit salad but a terrible comparison. I mean shoot, my Windows 10 PC running a Ryzen 7 is faster than a Core2Duo running Windows 7, so Windows 10 is clearly faster. 🙄
    • Windows 11 gets resizable taskbar icons, PC Migration tool, and more in KB5060829

      By C:Amie · Posted

      KB5060829 installed in a test VM and the option isn't even there under "Taskbar behaviours". Installed it on a second VM, same. Installed it on metal... same. Typical quality of Nadella's Microsoft. If i doesn't shrink the taskbar vertical height down as @seeprime is implying, what's the point?
