Microsoft patches record 198 Windows bugs in June update – and 3 are zero days

Microsoft's latest Patch Tuesday addressed 198 security vulnerabilities, the most extensive update in recent memory. Among these, 32 flaws are classified as critical, and three are zero-day vulnerabilities. The updates are detailed in KB articles: KB5094126 for Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2, KB5093998 for version 23H2, and KB5094127 for Windows 10. The updates will automatically download and install, but users must verify their installation status and reboot their computers for changes to take effect. The vulnerabilities addressed this month are attributed to advancements in artificial intelligence, with companies like Microsoft leveraging AI models to expedite the identification and resolution of security flaws. The three zero-day vulnerabilities include one that allows an attacker to gain Windows System privileges through a flaw in file link resolution, another that could facilitate a denial-of-service attack via an HTTP vulnerability, and a third related to a flaw in Windows BitLocker that could enable data capture from an unpatched PC. Additionally, the update introduces new features to Windows 11, including new Secure Boot certificates, a Low Latency Profile for enhanced performance, support for shared audio devices for multiple Bluetooth connections, webcam functionality across multiple applications, and the ability to assign a custom name to the user folder during setup.

Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

Microsoft has released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, which includes customizable Start menus, enhanced search functionalities, and a refined Taskbar. A significant upgrade is the rebranding of the Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print, aimed at modernizing and securing the printing process. Microsoft is phasing out support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update, transitioning to the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. Starting July 2026, new printer installations on eligible devices will default to Windows Ready Print, though users can choose between Windows Ready Print and the traditional OEM process. This setting can be adjusted through the printer preferences in Settings and modified via Group Policy. Users can also enable Windows protected print mode to default to Windows Ready Print.

Fix: Bluetooth Disappeared from Device Manager

Bluetooth functionality can disappear from the Device Manager on Windows, often starting with a missing toggle in the Settings menu. Users may see only Microsoft enumerators or an unidentified device instead of the actual Bluetooth adapter. If the PC does not show a Bluetooth radio after the correct driver path, it indicates a deeper issue beyond normal settings or app problems. To determine if Windows recognizes the Bluetooth radio, check Device Manager for a manufacturer-named adapter like Intel or Realtek. If only Microsoft Bluetooth enumerators are visible, the real adapter is likely missing. If the Bluetooth category is absent, check for unknown devices in Other devices. Ensure Airplane mode is disabled and any physical wireless switch is turned on, as these can hide Bluetooth functionality. Running the Windows Bluetooth Troubleshooter via the Get Help app is recommended before manually changing drivers. After troubleshooting, restart the PC to allow Windows another chance to detect the radio. If Bluetooth reappears, the issue was likely temporary. If not, use Windows Update to check for driver updates, and if necessary, download the latest Bluetooth driver from the PC manufacturer’s support page. If the adapter reappears in Device Manager, uninstall it and allow Windows to rebuild it after a complete shutdown. If Windows still cannot detect any Bluetooth radio after these steps, treat it as a hardware or firmware issue. Verify that the PC has built-in Bluetooth hardware; if it does not appear after installing the correct OEM driver, seek support from the manufacturer. Alternatively, using a USB Bluetooth adapter can indicate that Windows Bluetooth support is operational, suggesting an issue with the built-in radio.

Now There’s Finally a Way to Get Apple CarPlay in Your GM-Built EV

General Motors plans to phase out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its electric vehicles. In response, EVPlay has introduced the EVPlay LT, a device that allows users to continue using these smartphone integration features in GM-built EVs. The EVPlay LT costs , requires no subscription fees, and offers both wired and wireless connectivity. It is compatible with various GM electric vehicles, including the 2024–2026 Chevy Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Hummer EV, and Cadillac Escalade IQ. The setup involves downloading an app to the vehicle's infotainment system and connecting the device via USB, which takes about two minutes. EVPlay also offers a premium version, the EVPlay Max, priced at 9, which includes additional features like video streaming and gaming. However, EVPlay has noted the risk that GM could disable the software after installation.
