5263 TopicsWhat are the prerequisites to see Microsoft Secure Score?
My teammate says that even Basic or Standard M365 license provides Secure Score. Which is kind of right as you can see a basic score when opening a tenant in Lighthouse. But if you try to go to Defender console and then Exposure menu and press on Secure Score, it won't load with just Standard/Basic licenses assigned to users. I have tried to find a definitive list, but i can't. Copilot said you need at least Premium Business or E3/E5 or Defender P1. Which seems to make sense. But i need a confirmation. And also why do i see some score on tenant's page in Lighthouse?Solved401Views0likes10CommentsWindows 11 automatically restarting after install security Update — With GPO and WSUS.
Hi everyone, I’m facing a strange behavior with Windows 11 devices that receive updates through WSUS and are fully managed via Group Policy. Here’s the scenario: We have a GPO configured as follows: -Configure Automatic Updates → 4 (Auto download and schedule the install) -Scheduled installation every day at 10:00 -Install during automatic maintenance → disabled -Active Hours configured -Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours → Enabled -Update deadlines set to 0 (to avoid any forced restart) -No other restart-related policies set in the domain Even with this configuration, after updates are installed, Windows 11 shows the following message: “Your organization manages update settings. We will restart and install this update at X minutes.” And then the device automatically restarts, even when: -a user is logged in -it is outside Active Hours -deadlines are disabled -no-auto-restart is enabled This behavior does not happen on Windows 10 — only on Windows 11.48Views0likes1CommentI managed to run Windows 11 on a phone
For a couple days i wanted to install windows 11 on my old phone cuz why not. Also, i did have experience in running linux distro (postmarket os) on my different phone so i thought it will be not more difficult than that. I was mistaken.. it took me around 8 hrs of trying and finding tools and files that could work on my device (Mi POCO X3 pro). But finally, after 3 attempts i managed to get it running pretty smooth. Only thing, touchscreen it kinda messed up and inverted by half.. so if you guys have any solution, l'd appreciate if you share it.24Views1like1CommentWie kann ich pdf passwort entfernen, wenn ich das Kennwort vergessen habe?
ich habe eine ältere PDF-Datei gefunden, die ich dringend öffnen muss, aber das Passwort kenne ich nicht mehr. Jetzt frage ich mich, ob es irgendeine Möglichkeit gibt, sicher und zuverlässig ein pdf passwort entfernen zu können, ohne das originale Kennwort zu kennen. Falls jemand Erfahrung damit hat oder ein Tool kennt, das wirklich funktioniert, wäre ich sehr dankbar. Mir geht es nur darum, ein vergessenes pdf passwort entfernen zu können, um wieder Zugriff auf meine eigenen Dokumente zu bekommen. Jede Hilfe ist willkommen!45Views0likes8CommentsWindows 11 Updates
Is there, somewhere, a list of flakey/bad Windows 11 Updates floating around out there?...... Some of the strange anomalies on my System seem to have ironed themselves out, however, we're having difficulties with SSD/Monitor Sleep settings and thought, perhaps, an errant Update might have had something to do with it. I guess after this, we'll locate the Power Options threads here and see what we can sort out. A brief history on this machine, we're the original owner and it came from HP with Windows 7 Pro installed. We did some minor mods to it, and it's been a great machine for what I do. We didn't Upgrade to Windows 10, so we researched around and found there was a way to Upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. Frankly, we didn't have time to do this 'in house', so off to the local computer repair facility it went- $80 and next day return we had a decent running Windows 11 machine. Admittedly, it's a smidge slower than Windows 7 Pro was..... but not unbearably so.34Views0likes1CommentTrusted Signing Public Preview Update
Nearly a year ago we announced the Public Preview of Trusted Signing with availability for organizations with 3 years or more of verifiable history to onboard to the service to get a fully managed code signing experience to simplify the efforts for Windows app developers. Over the past year, we’ve announced new features including the Preview support for Individual Developers, and we highlighted how the service contributes to the Windows Security story at Microsoft BUILD 2024 in the Unleash Windows App Security & Reputation with Trusted Signing session. During the Public Preview, we have obtained valuable insights on the service features from our customers, and insights into the developer experience as well as experience for Windows users. As we incorporate this feedback and learning into our General Availability (GA) release, we are limiting new customer subscriptions as part of the public preview. This approach will allow us to focus on refining the service based on the feedback and data collected during the preview phase. The limit in new customer subscriptions for Trusted Signing will take effect Wednesday, April 2, 2025, and make the service only available to US and Canada-based organizations with 3 years or more of verifiable history. Onboarding for individual developers and all other organizations will not be directly available for the remainder of the preview, and we look forward to expanding the service availability as we approach GA. Note that this announcement does not impact any existing subscribers of Trusted Signing, and the service will continue to be available for these subscribers as it has been throughout the Public Preview. For additional information about Trusted Signing please refer to Trusted Signing documentation | Microsoft Learn and Trusted Signing FAQ | Microsoft Learn.5.7KViews7likes28CommentsPossible to install windows 11 on unsupported cpu?
