How to get Silence Armor Trim in Minecraft

Players can obtain the Silence Armor Trim in Minecraft by exploring Ancient City chests, which have a spawn rate of approximately 1%. These cities are located in fully eroded canyons, primarily in the snow mountains biome. In Creative Mode, players can access an unlimited supply of Silence Armor Trims by entering the command /gamemode creative. To craft or duplicate the trim, players need to combine it with seven Diamonds and one Coobled Deepslate at a crafting table. Diamonds can be obtained by smelting Diamond Ores or breaking down a Block of Diamond, while Coobled Deepslate can be mined from Deepslate blocks found in Ancient Cities. To personalize armor with the Silence Armor Trim, players must use a Smithing Table, combining the trim with an armor piece and a crafting material, which affects the color of the final product.

Microsoft says it accidentally broke Windows 10 Start menu, taskbar recent files feature

On April 22, Windows Latest reported that the jump list feature for live tiles in the Start menu was missing, a situation confirmed by Microsoft. This issue arose after updates released post-February 25, disrupting users' access to recently opened files or photos. The problem was linked to Microsoft's integration of a new Microsoft account control experience into the Start menu, which began with the Windows 10 KB5052077 optional update. Microsoft stated that this was not an intentional change and was under investigation. Following the April 2025 Update, the issue became more widespread. However, Microsoft has since rolled back the changes to the Start menu UI, restoring the recent section for affected users, and tests indicated that the jump list functionality has been reinstated across most devices.

Do Not Open This PDF On A Microsoft Windows PC

Microsoft has warned about the increasing use of PDF attachments in cyberattacks, particularly during the U.S. tax season. Attackers have been using PDFs with embedded links that redirect users to counterfeit pages, such as a fake DocuSign site. TrustWave SpiderLabs has identified a new campaign involving a fake payment SWIFT copy that leads to a malicious PDF containing obfuscated JavaScript, which downloads a script that conceals the RemcosRAT payload using steganography. This technique involves hiding links within images, making them difficult to detect. The latest attacks begin with phishing emails containing malicious PDFs that direct victims to harmful webpages, facilitating the delivery of RemcosRAT, a trojan that allows remote control of compromised systems. Users are advised to be cautious of emails labeled “SWIFT Copy” and to delete suspicious emails immediately.

A mysterious new Windows 11 folder appeared – and now there’s a new exploit

Windows 11 users encountered the "inetpub" folder after the April 2023 update (KB5055523), which is a crucial component for addressing the security vulnerability CVE-2025-21204.
