Es en este momento del mes cuando el último 2020 está claro para instalar actualizaciones.
FeatureManagement Overrides, con una Dword "2372249226" = 0 ". I'm still not sure what this registry key triggers, other than blocking a feature from being activated. (Remember that instead to use the chkdsk c: /f option, you must use the chkdsk /scan command. This is a much safer command to use on an SSD.) KB4529964 can be installed on Windows 10 1909 and 1903; I am not monitoring any major issues with these versions. If you are still running Windows 10 1903, please note that starting with this version you will no longer receive security updates. You'll need to make sure you've upgraded to a later version (such as 1909) to stay secure in January 2021. In the December updates to Windows 10, Microsoft added a new feature to the taskbar called "Meet Now." Many users wondered why the icon was installed in the first place, what it is, and how to get rid of it. It allows users to host and attend meetings remotely using Skype. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to remove the Meet Now icon from the taskbar, especially if you don't plan on using it. Microsoft hasn't released any optional updates this month in a nod to the holiday season. There's usually a preview in the third week of the month, but Microsoft usually skips them in December. As Ed Tittel explains, optional Windows 10 updates now also include driver updates. I usually skip the optional preview updates and driver updates offered on my system. As we count down to 2021, we're also beginning the countdown to the end of life for Windows 10 1909 for Home, Professional, Professional, and Professional for Workstations editions. The final versions of our faithful friend 1909 will be on May 11. Education and Enterprise users will have one year later, until May 10, 2022, to continue receiving updates. I keep seeing users with certain Conexant audio drivers failing to update to around 2004 or 20H2 even though the Windows Health version panel says these machines should now be unlocked and able to receive the update. I have seen several users fix the problem by typing in the Windows 10 Device Manager search box. Scroll down to see audio, video and game controllers. Find the Conexant audio driver and remove it from your system. Now install version 2004 (or 20H2). After rebooting, your system will "find" the Conexant driver again and it should work as usual. Several users of the Answers Forum indicated that this process worked for them. Of course, before trying to get version 2004 or 20H2, make sure you have a working backup of your system and know how to start the recovery or restore process. Each computer may be slightly different in the way it enables the device to boot from a flash drive or from a recovery drive. I recently had to find instructions for an Acer laptop so I could boot it from a flash drive; this required me to boot into BIOS to enable its ability to do so, as it was not default on the system. Each computer vendor's instructions for booting from a flash drive are different, and I spend most of my time preparing a system to do so when preparing for system repair or recovery. Once the flash drive boot is set up, I leave it like that to save time in the future. Now is a good time to learn how to boot from a flash drive or recover from a backup, when you don't need it. When you need to recover, you'll know what to do. On my personal laptop, I have the Macrium Reflect backup configured to offer a start menu that makes it easy to start the restore process or start Windows 10 if needed. Windows 8.1 or Server 2012 R2 users should now install (if you haven't already) the Monthly Rollup in the form KB4592484. If you are using WSUS or a third-party repair tool, or if you are manually installing updates from the catalog site, you can install the security-only update for KB4592495. Windows 7 patches will need to determine if they plan to repurchase Extended Security Update (ESU) patches to maintain patches on this platform. On January 5, Microsoft will include the ESU SKU in its price list, and its price is expected to double. (If you bought the Windows 7 ESU keys from consultants, they plan to send you an email asking you to buy them again.) You will need the second year Windows 7 ESU key to receive updates. day in February 2021 and that again means a tedious process to install the keys. We end 2020 by kicking off the final countdown to Adobe Flash. When Microsoft initially integrated Flash into Internet Explorer and the operating system, I thought it was a bad idea. Now I can say to Microsoft, "I told you so!" The number of Flash vulnerabilities and zero days that have left systems open to attack over the years means I'm very happy Flash is being removed. Most sites have switched to HTML5 or other means of video delivery, so I don't plan on missing out on Flash at all. If you're using the new Chrome-based Edge browser, you're already blocking Flash. An "update to remove Adobe Flash Player" will be available through the Microsoft Update Catalog, Windows Update, and WSUS; it will be offered as an option in early 2021 and will permanently remove Flash as a component from Windows OS devices. Later in the year there will be a mandatory update. As we close out 2020, it is good to remember how technology has allowed some of us to continue working, learning and communicating. It has also been used to inform and (unfortunately) to misinform. Hopefully, 2021 will bring us fewer patching issues, fewer feature release blocks, and more reliable Windows machines. Hopefully, Microsoft will slow down the feature release process and only deliver major updates once a year. If you have an easy-open desktop or laptop, take the end of the year to check if your machines need more RAM, a bigger hard drive, or an SSD (if you don't already have one). Also enjoy third-party backup software, as well as a USB flash drive or external hard drive large enough to store the images. As always, if you need any practical advice or guidance, you can reach out to the folks at Askwoody.com. Have a wonderful 2021! I know I can't wait to be there.
