Hi all

Oh dear Microsoft has broken w10 and defender with update.

This will really have to stop that’s at least 3 in a few weeks.
Its no wonder folk are having problems with Audio Stutter etc.
The Cortina bug hogging the processor , cant think of anything worse for Audio apps.

I don’t know the answer but changing to Apple wont help there is already a warning from Native Instruments not to upgrade to the new OS for them.

Copied from: https://amp.tomshardware.co.uk/microsoft-patches-windows-defender-bug,news-61709.html


Microsoft patched a serious flaw in the Windows Defender security utility today. The issue resulted in certain malware scans failing after just a few minutes, per ZDNet, which found reports of this issue across social platforms like Reddit as well as tech support websites. Those failed scans could have left Windows users vulnerable to attack even though the operating system has a built-in antivirus solution that's supposed to keep them safe.

The issue followed an all-too-familiar pattern: there was a System File Checker bug in Windows that Microsoft attempted to fix with the release of Windows Defender version 4.18.1908.7 earlier this week. Instead of fixing the problem, however, the update reportedly messed up the process that allows Windows to scan files. An update released to fix one problem accidentally resulted in critical parts of Windows Defender malfunctioning.

This has become a trend with Microsoft. An update meant to improve wireless connectivity on Surface devices actually prevented them from connecting to some networks. A fix to a "SearchUI.exe" bug that resulted in high CPU usage broke Windows Desktop Search, and the update meant to fix search failed spectacularly, with users reporting that the update led to further issues with core parts of the Windows 10 experience such as Action Center.

At this point we're hoping this problem is limited to the Windows team, because if it extends to any of Microsoft's on-campus medical staff, employees might want to keep any health problems to themselves. Sore elbow? Maybe a broken arm will help. Runny nose? Well, noses are overrated, right? At least then Windows systems wouldn't be the only things exposed to infection because someone tried to keep up with important updates.

The good news is that Microsoft said it fixed this issue with the Security Intelligence Update for Windows Defender Antivirus – KB2267602 (Version 1.301.1684.0) release from this morning. But to be honest, by now we're just waiting for someone else to find out that something worse has happened as a result of this update. Things like this can only happen so many times before Windows users start to seriously doubt any software updates.


Oh well Heads up
Mike

Interesting, Mike, and depressing. Question for both of you: did it change/reactivate any drivers, or alter your power profile?

Oh, that's just lovely especially since I'm posting another head's up thread in Tech S.O.S. about how Defender can protect against ransomware attacks. That should still be valid assuming Defender is actually working...

Hi all

Not that I have noticed Mat.
But that seems to happen after the big 6mthly feature updates not the weekly security patches.

I sure hope that it is working!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

This is one I just found. After updating I got the below message (unexpected) and when I click on the 'Learn More' link it takes me to a Microsoft web page written in German

hi Video Track

Do you use a VPN Client anyway??
if not don’t worry it was probably some bloat ware that came preinstalled or you picked up in a download at some time.
It seems you could not have been using it anyway.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the question.

Yes, I certainly do us the VPN Client on this particular computer. It is used for secure remote connection to other systems.

The annoying thing is that Microsoft didn't bother to find out if their upgrade would break anything, instead they just went ahead and broke whatever they liked.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
