Microsoft has updated Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11
Microsoft has released a large batch of cumulative updates for its operating system as part of the traditional monthly Patch Tuesday. Updates are offered for Windows 11, Windows 10, and even Windows 8.1 with Windows 7.
As part of Patch Tuesday, the recently released Windows 11 2022, also known as version 22H2, received its first cumulative update, with many fixes for issues that were present in the initial release. The update comes under the number KB5018427. Last year’s version of Windows 11 21H2 received an update under the number KB5018418.
The update contains several fixes, but also something completely new, namely support for notification icons on the taskbar and the Widgets panel for emergency breaking news and alerts. In addition, there are fixes for the Microsoft Store and many other areas, including the recently acknowledged Windows Hello crash by Microsoft.
Update KB5018410 is available for Windows 10 versions 21H1 and 21H2. The focus here is on OS security updates.
Updates KB5018454 and KB5018474 are available for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. They bring a fix for issues with Linux VMs and also fix the date for Daylight Savings Time in Chile.
As a reminder, support for Windows 8.1 will continue until early 2023, while free support is no longer available for Windows 7. Microsoft ended support for the Windows 7 operating system two years ago on January 14, 2020. For corporate users, Microsoft offers paid extended support for Windows 7. They can receive security updates as part of the Windows 7 ESU program (Extended Security Updates, extended security updates) until January 2023. In 2021, the price of this service has increased to $50 per computer, and in 2022 to $100 per computer.
Xiaomi is preparing MIUI 15 for various smartphones, but the company has something interesting in store for its flagships: Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Redmi K60 Pro will receive a special version of the interface. How exactly this version of MIUI 15 will differ from the usual one is not reported, but it will be based on Android 14.
The stable beta version of the new interface for Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra is designated as MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMACNXM, for Redmi K60 Pro – MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMKCNXM. The release of final firmware versions is expected in late October – early November. That is, these two models can receive the final MIUI 15 even before Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro.
Microsoft is indeed working on a “web-centric” version of the next generation of the Windows operating system, commonly known as Windows 12. This was reported by the thematic resource WindowsLatest, citing several sources close to Microsoft and its industry partners.
The cloud or web-based version of Windows 12 is similar in operating principles to the already well-known ChromeOS operating system from Google, which is used mainly on school and student PCs and laptops that are characterized by accessibility.
As WindowsLatest notes, the cloud version of Windows 12 is not intended to replace the traditional proprietary OS on desktop computers and could be the “true” answer to Chrome OS. This is Microsoft’s attempt to create a more modern, modular and lightweight version of Windows for low-cost educational devices.
Microsoft is already building a development team for the next generation of Windows. This is confirmed by job listings appearing online. It also notes that the “next generation of Windows” will appear in 2024.
As WindowsLatest learned, the Microsoft Edge browser and a new artificial intelligence system will be the center of the first web version of Windows 12.
Users of Google’s car platform began to complain about problems with the GPS signal after the release of the stable Android Auto 10.5 update.
According to some users, they have encountered problems with GPS while driving. Several users reported that the GPS signal suddenly disappeared for a few seconds and the navigator froze, but after a few moments it came to life and continued to work normally. This problem affects not only Google Maps, but also the Waze app.
Unfortunately, Google developers have not yet acknowledged the problems with GPS. However, you shouldn’t get too upset because new Android Auto updates come out every few weeks. If you have problems with GPS when using Android Auto, you can downgrade to an older version.
