The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added a high-severity Windows vulnerability abused in ransomware attacks as a zero-day to its catalog of actively exploited security bugs. Successful exploitation lets local attackers gain SYSTEM permissions in low-complexity attacks that don't require user interaction.
Microsoft says it removed a Copilot app that was "Incorrectly" added to Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems in April due to buggy Microsoft Edge updates. The AI-powered Copilot digital assistant was also added to some Windows Server 2025 preview builds earlier this year, but the company removed it after backlash from Windows admins.
Microsoft is delaying the release of Recall, a controversial Windows 11 feature that will allow users to search their computer for specific content that has previously been viewed by them. "Following receiving feedback on Recall from our Windows Insider Community, as we typically do, we plan to make Recall available for all Copilot+ PCs coming soon."
Microsoft is delaying the release of its AI-powered Windows Recall feature to test and secure it further before releasing it in a public preview on Copilot+ PCs. Initially slated for release in a public preview on June 18 with the arrival of the new Copilot+ AI PCs, the company now says they are delaying its release by making it first available for preview with Windows Insiders. "Recall will now shift from a preview experience broadly available for Copilot+ PCs on June 18, 2024, to a preview available first in the Windows Insider Program in the coming weeks," reads an update to a recent Windows Recall blog post.

Microsoft has announced that the DirectAccess remote access solution is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Windows, recommending companies migrate to the 'Always On VPN' for enhanced security and continued support. DirectAccess is a bidirectional remote access technology introduced by Microsoft in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, providing domain-joined remote users an "Always on" connection to internal corporate networks without using VPN connections.
