July’s Patch Tuesday sees an end-of-support collision amidst a massive, record-setting patch wave

The Print Spooler flag monitors shared printers and reflects the queue status of print jobs. The win32k flags manage aspects of 32-bit application printing, including font rendering and window management, while GDI+ flags handle metafiles. Printer sharing from a print server allows clients to print in various sizes and formats, cancel jobs, and verify queue status. Printing from 32-bit applications accommodates diverse document types and ensures consistency across different outputs. Document exports maintain font and layout integrity, and EMF+ files can apply effects to large images. Storage and file systems focus on maintaining integrity through NTFS high-risk flags and File History, with a Windows Server 2025 bundle addressing boot processes and BitLocker. NTFS extended attributes are utilized for backup workflows, and unexpected shutdown simulations ensure volume recovery. File History allows for file backups with customizable options. On Server 2025, Secure Boot/BitLocker combinations can be initiated. The HID input flags manage various input devices, while the WinSock bundle includes drivers for Bluetooth and multicast. The NetAdapterCx driver requires extensive enable-disable cycles under Driver Verifier.

Android Auto is crashing (again), and nobody knows why (again)

Android Auto users are experiencing frequent disconnections and crashes after the recent update to version 17.2, which was rolled out on July 3. Reports indicate that disconnections last from seconds to minutes, and crashes occur whenever audio is played. The issues affect a wide range of Android devices, and users have recommended delaying the installation of the update or reverting to the previous version. The root cause of the problems is uncertain, with speculation that they may be linked to other updates, such as the Play services update from late June. Google is aware of the situation, as indicated by reports on the Google Issue Tracker, but these issues are categorized under Android 17 beta and differ from feedback on Reddit.

Google Meet Struggles in Russia Amid Push for State-Controlled Max Messaging App

On August 22, Russian officials expressed concerns about potential restrictions on Google Meet, fearing that it could monitor Russian citizens and share sensitive information with Western intelligence. Andrey Svintsov highlighted the need for limitations on tracking applications. Users in Russia reported disruptions with Google Meet, but Roskomnadzor stated that no restrictions had been implemented. The increased use of Google Meet followed a government ban on voice and video calls in apps like Telegram and WhatsApp, while authorities promoted the Kremlin-backed messenger Max, set to be preinstalled on new smartphones from September 1. Max, launched by VKontakte in March 2025, aims to replace foreign messaging apps and is associated with extensive surveillance capabilities. A blacklist of targeted platforms is being developed following President Putin's pledge to restrict foreign digital services. Additionally, pro-Russian hackers executed a cyberattack on a hydropower plant in Poland's Pomeranian Voivodeship, marking the second attack on the facility in recent months.
