Microsoft, a giant in the field, has taken an important step for millions of Windows users by releasing the March 2024 "Tuesday Update" for Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. This update brings a number of fixes and improvements aimed at provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for its users.
Microsoft announces among the most significant improvements the fixing of 60 vulnerabilities, two of which are considered critical in Windows 11 and Windows 10 and affect the Windows Hyper-V virtualization technology. These vulnerabilities, if exploited, can allow attackers to take control of targeted systems, putting users' data and security at risk. With these fixes, Microsoft is reaffirming its commitment to protecting its customers from cyber threats.
In addition to security improvements, the update also brings new features that enrich the user experience. A notable example is the KB5035853 update for Windows 11, which refreshes the Phone Link settings page by renaming it to Mobile Devices and introduces an innovative Snipping Tool feature for Android users. This feature allows users to receive notifications on their Windows 11 device when they take a screenshot or when a new image is created on their Android phone, giving them the ability to edit directly on their PC.
