‘Faster, Free’—Google Offers Windows Users A PC Upgrade

Microsoft's Secure Boot certificates, in use since 2011, will begin to expire in June, potentially leaving many Windows 10 users without essential updates. As Windows 10 approaches its end of support in October 2025, Microsoft is offering a complimentary year of extended support, which includes new Secure Boot certificates, but users must enroll to receive these updates. For those who do not enroll, Google offers a free upgrade option to ChromeOS Flex, which allows users to repurpose old laptops into efficient machines. ChromeOS Flex is lightweight, requires less hardware power, and provides regular security updates, making it a safer alternative to unsupported Windows systems. Google has made ChromeOS Flex available on a reusable USB stick, although it is often in short supply.

Microsoft Defender Adds Dashboard for 2011 Secure Boot Certificates

Microsoft has introduced a feature in the Microsoft Defender dashboard to help IT managers identify devices using 2011 Secure Boot certificates, which expire in June of this year. The recommendation view categorizes devices into three groups: Exposed Devices (trust outdated certificates), Compliant Devices (use new 2023 certificates), and Not Applicable Devices (Secure Boot disabled or unsupported). The dashboard provides a centralized overview of device security status and the distribution of 2023 certificates, allowing filtering by operating system and device context. Devices without the new certificates will still boot but may lack the latest protection during the early boot phase, exposing them to threats. Microsoft does not automatically distribute new certificates via Windows updates on servers, requiring manual action from administrators. The dashboard aids IT teams in prioritizing action on Exposed Devices and exporting data for collaboration.

“Average Steam Deck framerate” graph shows PC game developers how their Verified titles really run on Valve’s handheld — Will users ever see this data

Valve has introduced new beta Steamworks tools for game developers as part of its Steam Deck Verified Games initiative. These tools allow developers to monitor average framerates over the past 30 days and access user survey results regarding the Verified status of their games. Participation in data collection is opt-in, ensuring user privacy. The user survey appears after at least ten minutes of gameplay, allowing users to agree or disagree with a game's Verified status and provide feedback on various criteria. The Steam Deck Verified program assesses game compatibility based on four criteria: Controller input, Display, Seamlessness, and System support. Games are rated as Verified, Playable, Unsupported, or Unknown, with these ratings displayed in the Steam store. Valve may potentially make the collected data accessible to the public in the future.
