June’s Windows 10 patch has a BitLocker user lockout problem… again

Microsoft released a cumulative update for Windows 10, designated as KB5094127, during the latest Patch Tuesday. Some users are experiencing issues where they are prompted to enter their BitLocker recovery key after installing the update. This problem is linked to systems with an "unrecommended" BitLocker Group Policy configuration and has occurred in previous updates. Specific conditions that can lead to this issue include having BitLocker enabled on the operating system drive, a certain Group Policy setting configured, the System Information tool reporting a specific Secure Boot State, the presence of a particular certificate in the Secure Boot Signature Database, and not using the 2023-signed Windows Boot Manager. Affected users may face difficulties accessing their BitLocker recovery key, potentially leading to lockouts. Microsoft suggests that personal devices are less likely to be affected, with the issue primarily impacting enterprise setups. The company is working on a resolution and advises IT administrators to consider removing the Group Policy configuration before installing the update. Update KB5094127 is available only to Windows 10 users in the Extended Security Updates program for versions 21H2 and 22H2, addressing various bugs and security vulnerabilities.

Android users need to uninstall these apps ASAP as they are a security risk

Google will soon notify Android users when an app they installed has lost developer support. Currently, users only receive alerts from Play Protect for significant security threats or potentially harmful apps. The only way to discover if an app has been delisted is through external sources or by trying to install it on a new device. Recent findings in the Play Store indicate that Google is preparing to inform users when apps have been removed from the Play Store and will no longer receive updates. Abandoned apps pose significant security risks, as they may contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors. Google's new notifications aim to encourage users to uninstall unsupported apps to protect their personal data.

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.

What Is OneLaunch.exe? Pros, Cons, and How to Remove It

OneLaunch is a software application that creates a personalized dock and desktop environment on Windows computers, often pre-installed or bundled with other software. It has received mixed reviews, with concerns about system slowdowns and its legitimacy. OneLaunch.exe is a background process supporting the OneLaunch application, which provides quick access to applications and updates but can consume system resources. The OneLaunch browser, installed alongside the main application, can alter browser settings and redirect searches, potentially leading to unwanted advertisements. While OneLaunch is not classified as traditional malware, it is often categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) due to its bundled installation and ability to modify system settings. It can monitor browsing habits and share data with third-party advertisers. Users report intrusive behavior, such as altering default browser settings, and it can negatively impact system performance. To remove OneLaunch, users should end the running process, uninstall the application, delete leftover folders, remove startup entries, and reset browser settings. OneLaunch may reappear due to accidental reinstallations, active browser extensions, lingering scheduled tasks, or hidden companion programs. Preventative measures include downloading from official sources, reading installation screens carefully, keeping systems updated, and performing regular system checks.
