Yes, things are moving a bit faster now.

The hack is much worse than Microsoft admitted. Contents of messages in Outlook.com, MSN, Hotmail had been accessed too.

“Microsoft said the hackers couldn’t access email content or attachments, and then in another section, that the company’s “data indicates” email contents could not have been viewed.”

“Motherboard’s source, however, said that the technique allowed full access to email content. On Sunday the source provided another screenshot of another page of the panel, with the label “Email Body” and the body of an email redacted by the source. They said the Microsoft support account used belonged to a high privileged user, meaning they likely have more access to material than other employees.”

Why do you need 2 ‘slow’ HDs vs 1 super fast (NVMe) SSD for the OS and 1 HD for data ?
If you insist on 2 HDs you can add an external USB-C/TB3 (up to 10TB) HD.

You can restore the original Documents folder from the Windows.old folder.

You can delete windows.old by running disk cleanup as administrator and selecting ‘previous windows installation(s).

For Windows 10 1809 users, the solution is obvious — remove and do not use third party security software and browser security apps and security add-ons. Then watch your system performance magically return to normal or better than before.

And run an unprotected Windows PC as Defender is, always has been and always will be, just c**p.

Where is 1909 ? Shouldn’t Microsoft start testing as it is only 5 months away ?

I got both the newsletter and alert.

What about changes in Group Policy ?

Sorry to bust your bubble, but according to the Intel site, the tool was last revised to the version you state above on August 6th of 2018 or on June 8th of 2018 depending on how you choose to read the date mentioned on the Intel page for downloading the tool directly from them:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27150?v=t

The bulletin your link for the Intel site points to hasn’t been revised since February 7th of 2018 per the statements on that very page.

🙂 🙂

On the same very page the app has been updates to a new version on April 4, 2019

The last few times it has installed on my 1803, it required a restart. Maybe I’m just special 🙂

Maybe it did because you haven’t removed the current installed version before installing the new version..
