Windows XP-Microsoft’s 15-year-old operating system-is still running on more than 27,000 police computers in London. They should have an interface for users to easily delete early, and maybe even a power-user tool to move it to external storage or something.

Avast offered a similar warning but said most users haven’t had issues with the update. However the Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB), which is an only enterprise version, will receive security as well as critical issue support for ten years.
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update is a huge update for Windows 10, and has already caused big freezing problems for some users.
To that effect, Microsoft has kept to its word, the new approach seems promising as it has developed the anniversary update based on a crowdsourcing of ideas through its Windows Insider programme.
The Anniversary Update also means Cortana is now available on the Xbox One for extra voice command functionality through your headset or Kinect gear. However, what we’ve seen in prior reports is that Microsoft plans to launch new devices in the first half of 2017 (spring?) alongside the Redstone 2 update that will showcase specific new features.
According to Microsoft, on the other hand, an announcement will be released when a final date is picked, so the only thing for the moment is still the work which is being underway to get the Anniversary Update ready before to be made it public by the company.
The new update brings new features and improvements. “Furthermore, the attacker could bypass Secure Boot Integrity Validation for BitLocker and Device Encryption security features”.

A similar attack was possible with Microsoft’s minimalist new web browser, Edge, but was also fixed in the latest update.
That said, Microsoft still should make this much more clear in their interface, though. “Staff are likely to be more familiar with Windows 10, but most importantly it will be supported further into the future”. That said, Ionescu noted that Microsoft isn’t actually using an Ubuntu Linux kernel, just user-land tools and applications.
In the most recent monthly security release, Microsoft has looked to squash a number of potentially risky bugs in its products, including a raft of fixes for the Microsoft Edge browser and Internet Explorer.
