Windows 10 it will become much more annoying soon, according to the company Microsoft, trying hard to avoid the spread of malware in attacks like Petya, which has not yet stopped. In a post published last night on the company's blog, those from Microsoft confirmed that Windows 10 will allow users to install the latest updates for the operating system.
Microsoft explains that in 2017 the most secure electronic devices are those that are constantly updated, and for Windows 10 the Creators Update will be released soon. In it, Microsoft solves many security problems of Windows 10 and implicitly recommends it for all its customers, who will receive warning messages much more often than usual, in order not to miss the installation.
This update is all the more important because it contains new anti-malware functions for Windows 10, which I already told you about last week. The Microsoft company knows how important it is that malware does not infect users and does not spread, so Windows 10 should become much, much safer than the current versions of the operating system.
Windows 10 will become much more aggressive in the fight against malware
Windows 10 is currently a main target for hackers because of the very large number of users who use the operating system worldwide. Those at Microsoft are perfectly aware of this, so they want to fight against the spread of malware through an attempt to make users aware that Windows 10 needs all available updates.
Only by installing the updates offered for Windows 10, or other versions of the operating systems, there is a chance that attacks like Petya will not spread so quickly and so much. Of course, the old versions of Windows will not have such constant messages recommending the installation of updates, but at least those who use Windows 10 will know that they must protect themselves.
"The most secure Windows device today is an updated one: running both the most recent feature update - the Windows 10 Creators Update - and the most recent monthly quality update. In each Windows feature update we build the latest security technology deep into the operating system, providing defense-in-depth features that prevent entire classes of malware from impacting your device.”
With this change in strategy for Windows 10, Microsoft is taking over what Apple is doing with its macOS operating system. Those from Cupertino have the habit of showing updates for their operating systems quite often, so if you have an Apple product and use Windows 10 as well, you know what you should expect from the change prepared by Microsoft.
Finally, Microsoft also announced that the first version of Windows 10 is at the end of the service period, so if you use it, it would be good to upgrade.
