Do you remember the 2000 effect? With the change in figures and the year, many had problems that could be generated in computer equipment. In the end it was not as serious as thought and now Microsoft Exchange is the platform that has been affected by a ruling related to the change of year. A failure that we could experience again in the year 2038 Users are seeing how the Microsoft Exchange Inbox is empty and no, it is not a fault with the corresponding email server. Microsoft Exchange in versions 2016 and 2019 is falling victim to a failure…

Windows 11 has been a series of interesting improvements for the user but among all the changes there is one that has not been particularly positive. The taskbar lost the ability to drag and drop, an option that can be recovered with this application free. An app that can be downloaded from Github, that is open source and that returns the ability to drag files to the user to applications that are not open in the taskbar, that they open automatically and thus save precious seconds.

Microsoft continues to work to attract users to its web browser, Edge, and does so by adding different functionalities and improvements, the last one being one of the most surprising. If we have already seen how it allows to capture PDF’s, facilitate voice typing, play Stadia, enable groups of tabs or PiP mode … now Edge receives something different. It is a direct access to play different titles available on the web. The tool to make it possible becomes part of Edge Canary via an integrated games panel at the Omnibar bar. It is the chosen method that facilitates access…

Windows 11 continues to expand its domains, either through updates or with the sale of computers that have the new operating system. More computers and more risk of a failure affecting more users who have already adopted Windows 11 as their operating system. And that’s what happens with the last bug that affects HDR compatible monitors. Those who bet on using HDR (or High Dynamic Range in Spanish) on their monitors when using some image or video editing programs on their computer, may find that the colors that should have been white are shown in a yellowish tone. And not,…

Microsoft continues to bet on security on its Windows platform and its latest proposal is intended to help system administrators and that they determine if the configuration they have applied is the ideal one, taking as a reference those recommended by Microsoft. This is possible thanks to the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit, a set of configuration options developed based on the contributions of both the company’s engineering teams but also by partners and customers.

We have talked on different occasions about bugs and problems with Windows in different versions as a result of development failures by Microsoft. But there are times when manufacturers do their part and that is what is happening with Dell and some of its computers fruit of a recent update. It is a BIOS update for different models in the brand’s catalog. An update that is causing all kinds of errors, from blue screens of death to preventing the computer from starting the corresponding version of Windows that they have installed.

We have talked about Windows Terminal on other occasions. Microsoft is launching different improvements in its tool and now the objective is make Terminal the default command line app In Windows 11, above Command Prompt and PowerShell. It is a movement that is not a surprise given the latest movements of the company in this regard and that has been announced in one of Microsoft’s blogs. The change must be specified with the different updates that should arrive from Windows 11 throughout 2022.

Microsoft is continuing its quiet work with Edge by adding various enhancements to make it more attractive to use, and is now testing a feature that anyone who uses Edge as a PDF document reader can benefit from: it is a new tool for take screenshots even if it is multi-page. Since it is a functionality in the testing phase, in order to experiment with it the user must have the updated version of Edge within the Canary Channel. Thanks to this improvement you can take full-page screenshots of PDF documents that have multiple pages.

It’s been in the news in recent days as Microsoft try to get users to use your Edge browser, already loaded on Windows computers since they leave the factory, as the default browser. It is difficult to use another browser. Using another browser for “all” links was possible until Microsoft released updates KB5008212 and KB5008215. Among other things, these builds for Windows 10 and Windows 11 blocked the operation of a tool that allowed redirection of applications such as EdgeDeflector. With it, it was possible to use the web browser that we have determined even when clicking on the Search…
