The company has been quietly publishing details about version 21H2 for Windows 10, including more improvements for Windows Hello, account management, and TPM attestation support. Outside the regular schedule, the update KB5004945 for Windows 10 begins to roll out to fix the PrintNightmare vulnerability that could allow attackers to execute malicious code to create new administrator accounts, install programs, and access data without the user’s consent. In case you missed it, you can catch up with all the major UI changes and features that Microsoft made available with Windows 11 build 22000.51 in this hands-on video. I also uploaded another video showcasing the clean installation process of Windows 11 Home and one explaining the hardware requirements and compatibility check to upgrade devices to Windows 11.
