I just realized that the search results in the Start Menu on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit are now underlined. It's not really a big issue but it is strange and I don't know what caused this. It also happened in Vista for me.

Haven't installed any tweak tools.

Any ideas?

Are they underlined all the time? Or just on hover? (which is default behavior).

Have you changed any Explorer view settings like this one?

They are underlined all the time. Every item. And no, I haven't changed these settings. Very strange. On my other machine, the behavior is normal...

Wow! That helped. I know this feature and never touched it in Win7. So it's really strange. The underlining only appeared in the Start Menu search results. If you activate that feature every item in Explorer gets underlined. After switching it back everything looks normal.

Maybe there is a bug in the touch features of 7? Because I do have a Wacom Bamboo installed (but not plugged in). That tablet has pen and touch functionality (I also have a big fat Aero Peek button in the Task Bar which is normal).

hmmmm...

Well, thank you! ;)

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
