Microsoft is rolling out a quiet but consequential change to how Word for Windows saves new documents: starting with Word for Windows Version 2509 (Build 19221.20000) in Insider channels, documents you create will be saved to the cloud (OneDrive, SharePoint, or a preferred cloud location) by...

Microsoft is quietly shifting a fundamental part of the Word for Windows experience: new documents created in Word will now default to being saved in the cloud (OneDrive or another configured cloud destination) with AutoSave enabled, and the change begins with Word for Windows version 2509 and...

BeyondTrust’s release of the 2023 Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report — framed as the 10th‑anniversary edition — is both a retrospective and a warning: the last decade of Microsoft vulnerability disclosures has delivered recurring patterns that disproportionately affect Windows Server environments...
Microsoft has pushed a targeted Release Preview update identified as KB5064080 into the Windows 11 servicing stream, delivering incremental reliability fixes across File Explorer, storage (ReFS), networking (SMB over QUIC), input/IME handling, device‑management policy enforcement and more — and...
Microsoft has quietly folded generative AI into Excel’s calculation engine with a native worksheet function — =COPILOT(...) — that accepts plain‑language prompts, reads cell ranges as context, and returns live, spillable outputs directly into the spreadsheet grid. Early previews show it can...

Cyble’s latest weekly scan shows a dizzying pace of disclosures and exploitation: researchers tracked 908 new vulnerabilities in the last seven days and report that more than 188 of those already have publicly available proofs‑of‑concept (PoCs), tightening the window defenders have to respond...
A single sports image page and a quietly written obituary tell a bigger story about how local journalism actually gets made—and for many newsrooms, the glue holding that story together is a Windows PC on a deadline desk, a sideline laptop on battery power, and a carefully tuned workflow that...

Microsoft has confirmed that OneNote for Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025, after which the app will become read‑only and will no longer receive updates, fixes, or sync functionality — Microsoft is directing all users to migrate to the unified OneNote on Windows (the...
Microsoft is pulling the plug on the legacy OneNote app that shipped with Windows 10: beginning October 14, 2025, OneNote for Windows 10 (the UWP “legacy” client) will reach end of support and be placed into a read‑only state, and Microsoft is actively steering users and organizations toward the...

OpenAI’s GPT-5 launch was staged as a Google-friendly moment — Gmail and Google Calendar were shown on-screen — but the quiet, rapid work under the hood handed Microsoft a far broader, more consequential prize: deeper GPT-5 integration across Teams, SharePoint, GitHub, Copilot, and Azure that...

Microsoft’s August Patch Tuesday is a heavyweight release: Redmond shipped fixes for more than a hundred security flaws, closed a clutch of high‑severity remote code execution and privilege‑escalation defects, and bundled new Windows 11 quality and AI‑adjacent features that will change how some...
Microsoft’s August Patch Tuesday delivered a heavy-duty security package this month — industry tallies vary between 107 and 111 vulnerabilities, including a publicly disclosed Kerberos elevation-of-privilege issue (CVE‑2025‑53779) and roughly a dozen other critical remote‑code‑execution (RCE)...
The identifier CVE-2025-49712 does not appear in any public, authoritative advisory or vulnerability database at this time; the single URL you supplied resolves to Microsoft’s update guide infrastructure but returns no accessible content without JavaScript, and independent searches for...
Thanks — quick clarification before I start the 2,000+ word feature.
I searched public sources and could not find any authoritative record for CVE-2025-53760. The Microsoft SharePoint incident widely reported in July–August 2025 is CVE-2025-53770 (aka “ToolShell”) — a deserialization / RCE chain...
Microsoft has quietly begun planting tiny, purpose-built Microsoft 365 “companion” apps directly into the Windows 11 taskbar — compact People, File Search, and Calendar helpers that promise to shave dozens of small context switches out of the modern knowledge worker’s day. These mini‑apps are...
HR365’s Employee Directory 365 arrives on Microsoft’s marketplace as a tightly scoped, SharePoint‑native directory that promises rapid deployment, deep Microsoft 365 integration, and AI‑enhanced search — a simple idea executed with cloud‑native discipline and aggressive go‑to‑market positioning...

A wave of unease swept through global IT circles following reports of a sophisticated cyber attack targeting Microsoft SharePoint servers—an incident confirmed by Microsoft itself and now reverberating across thousands of organizations worldwide. The scale, details, and implications of the...
