Microsoft has long been making an effort to roll out regular updates to Windows 10. The company is releasing some major software upgrades in June, but they come with a bunch of serious warnings. These include hardware compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, and more.
If you don’t have a Managed IT Services New York team in place, you are likely to face these issues on a large scale. Let’s take a look at some of the problems you might encounter in the new Windows 10 update.
Known Issues
Microsoft published new support documents early in June, in which it revealed a series of ‘Known Issues.’ Some of these problems, which could be a trouble for Business IT Support Manhattan teams across the globe, include:
- Malfunctioning of printers
- External displays going black
- Internet connectivity problems
- Wormable security flaw
Out of these issues, the security flaw is a major threat to enterprises operating online. If you’re one of them, make sure to activate your Manhattan IT Support team and ask them to closely monitor the security of your devices.
Breaking of printers
According to Microsoft, users using Windows 10 v. 1903 or later might face some printer-related issues. If you disconnect your printer and then shut down your PC, your USB printer port might go missing. Laptop users are more likely to face this issue than desktop users.
To avoid this issue, ask your IT Support Manhattan team to ensure all devices have the printer connected before starting Windows.
External displays
Microsoft states that if you’re using a 2 in 1 (touch screen) laptop or tablet that is running Windows 10 v. 2004, you might see your screen flicker or go black when you duplicate your display. While Microsoft has assured that it’s working to fix this issue, your Business IT Support Manhattan team will have to restart your devices every time they run into this issue.
Internet connectivity
Microsoft also confirmed in its June 2020 update that there is still no fix for internet connectivity issues. An upgrade to May 2020 update is suggested to be a fix for this problem, but the version has its own set of problems. Thus, it is advised not to upgrade yet. Internet issues can significantly affect business operations. Hence, make sure to ask your Managed IT Services New York team to keep a close eye on the internet connectivity of all the devices.
Security issue
Lastly, Microsoft also revealed a security vulnerability issue that could exploit network protocols used in Windows versions 1903, 1909, and 2004. Hackers can use this “wormable” vulnerability for data theft. While Microsoft is working on patches and fixes for this issue, the security of Windows 10 users might be at risk. If you’re using one of the at-risk versions, ask your Manhattan IT Support team to be extra watchful of security threats and cyber-attacks.
Conclusion
Microsoft acted quickly and is working on all these issues and vulnerabilities. But it’s hard to predict when our Windows PC’s and laptops will be free from all the problems listed above. Currently, more than a billion computers run on Windows 10. And if these issues are not fixed soon, they can affect the significant share of computer users. Until then, your IT Support Manhattan would need to be active and alert.
