A new script makes it easy to create an ISO for any version of Windows 10, including Windows 10 version 1507 through 20H2. For those not familiar with ISO images, they are a sector-by-sector copy of a DVD. This ISO file can then be written, or burned, to a DVD to create a replica of the original media, mounted as a drive letter in Windows, or extracted by a program like 7-Zip to access the contained files. If you want to perform a clean install of Windows 10 or run into a problem, it is always helpful to download an ISO that can be used to create Windows 10 media.

Microsoft has acknowledged a new known issue causing forced restarts on Windows 10 20H2 devices due to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service system process crashing. "To prevent the issue and not receive the safeguard hold, you will need to name all built-in user counts back to their default name before attempting to update to Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows 10, version 20H2," Microsoft says.

A critical vulnerability in Git Large File Storage, an open source Git extension for versioning large files, allows attackers to achieve remote code execution if the Windows-using victim is tricked into cloning the attacker's malicious repository using a vulnerable Git version control tool, security researcher Dawid Golunski has discovered. Golunski found that Git LFS does not specify a full path to git binary when executing a new git process via a specific exec.
