Another Windows 10 Update Causing Problems URL: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/I4Hv2FjO5vQ/another-windows-10-update-causing-problems New submitter sexconker writes: The recently-released cumulative update for Windows 10 (KB3140743) is reportedly causing problems. Symptoms include crashes, BSODs, and the inability to boot, even in safe mode. The Windows 10 subreddit has many threads detailing the inability to boot. The only fix seems to be booting to a recovery ISO, uninstalling the update / rolling back, and hoping you don't get hit again. W10Privacy 2 claims to be able to (among other things) give Windows 10 users control over the automatic updates. Read more of this story at Slashdot. Holding Shift + F10 During Windows 10 Updates Opens Root CLI, Bypasses BitLocker URL: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/-ScjETtY1S8/holding-shift--f10-during-windows-10-updates-opens-root-cli-bypasses-bitlocker An anonymous reader quotes a report from BleepingComputer: Windows security expert and infrastructure trainer Sami Laiho says that by holding SHIFT + F10 while a Windows 10 computer is installing a new OS build, an attacker can open a command-line interface with SYSTEM privileges. This CLI debugging interface also grants the attacker full access to the computer's hard drive data, despite the presence of BitLocker. The CLI debugging interface is present when updating to new Windows 10 and Windows 10 Insiders builds. The most obvious exploitation scenario is when a user leaves his computer unattended during the update procedure. A malicious insider can open the CLI debugger and perform malicious operations under a root user, despite BitLocker's presence. But there are other scenarios where Laiho's SHIFT + F10 trick can come in handy. For example when police have seized computers from users who deployed BitLocker or when someone steals your laptop. Windows 10 defaults help police/thieves in this case because these defaults forcibly update computers, even if the user hasn't logged on for weeks or months. This CLI debugging interface grants the attacker full access to the computer's hard drive, despite the presence of BitLocker. The reason is that during the Windows 10 update procedure, the OS disables BitLocker while the Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment) installs a new image of the main Windows 10 operating system. "This [update procedure] has a feature for troubleshooting that allows you to press SHIFT + F10 to get a Command Prompt," Laiho writes on his blog. "The real issue here is the Elevation of Privilege that takes a non-admin to SYSTEM (the root of Windows) even on a BitLocker (Microsoft's hard disk encryption) protected machine." Laiho informed Microsoft of the issue and the company is apparently working on a fix. Read more of this story at Slashdot. Windows 10 is not Free Privacy IssuesURL: https://www.deepdotweb.com/2017/02/02/windows-10-not-free-privacy-issues/ Did you know that Microsoft records your voice, camera and every keystroke on Windows 10? Of course, its all in the Terms of Agreement. Faz hoje uma semana que voltei. O tempo voa, mas eu nao: uma semana inteira pra por a casa de novo em funcionamento - e a minha cabeca tambem. Preciso dessa lentidao, embora a vida pratica me peca a pressa que nao tenho. Logo que cheguei percorri as ruas desta 'aldeia' e me fiz presente antes que elas me esquecessem de vez. Agora
