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 is usually blamed for every PC bug, but Dell and HP’s latest Windows 11 BSOD reboot fiascos are all on them.

Dell users reported issues with Dell SupportAssist causing system crashes, blue screens, and reboot loops on Windows 11. Dell stated the problems were not due to Microsoft's operating system and initially recommended uninstalling the software. An expert suggested disabling the service as an alternative. Dell later confirmed that Remediation Dell SupportAssist (version 5.5.16.0) and Alienware SupportAssist can trigger blue screen errors and reboot loops on Windows 11. HP also faced issues with a BIOS bug causing high-end Windows 11 PCs to get stuck in a BitLocker recovery loop, advising users to disable automatic updates while they worked on a fix.

Meet the hidden Windows 11 tool that reveals what Task Manager misses

Microsoft has integrated Sysmon into Windows 11 through a system update, allowing it to operate in the background and log activities in the Windows Event Log. Indicators of suspicious processes include the absence of icons or descriptions, incorrect parent processes, spelling errors in names, unsigned executable files, packed executables, suspicious DLLs or services, open TCP/IP endpoints, and unusual URLs or character strings. To install Sysmon, users must access the Control Panel, enable Sysmon, and restart their PC. Activation requires running a command in the Command Prompt. Sysmon logs can be viewed in the Event Viewer under Microsoft > Windows > Sysmon > Operational. Users can filter events using an XML configuration file. After analysis, suspicious processes should be scanned with antivirus software, and files can be uploaded to VirusTotal for further examination. Sysmon continuously logs events, while Process Monitor captures snapshots of running processes, and both tools are available for free from Microsoft.

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.
Fix: Bluetooth Disappeared from Device Manager

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.

Microsoft to add automatic driver rollback to Windows 11

Microsoft is set to introduce a feature for Windows 11 called Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery (CIDR), which will automatically revert problematic driver updates to stable versions via Windows Update. This feature aims to improve user experience by eliminating the need for manual uninstallation of faulty drivers. CIDR will monitor drivers and, if a driver is found to be problematic, it can initiate a remote rollback to restore a stable version. The process will not require additional software installations or changes to existing workflows for hardware manufacturers. The automated rollback will specifically target only the affected hardware components, ensuring other drivers and system functions remain unaffected. Initial testing for CIDR is scheduled between May and August 2026, with a broader rollout expected in September 2026.
