Windows search is not working properly.

 This PowerShell script resets the Windows Search feature and closes the PowerShell window when the "Done" message appears. If you receive an error message stating that running scripts is disabled on your system, enter the command Get-ExecutionPolicy and press Enter. The current policy, such as Restricted, should be noted for future use. After the policy change is completed, close the PowerShell window and repeat steps 2–4. When the "Done" message appears, press any key to continue. To revert to your previous PowerShell execution policy setting, enter the command Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy and press Enter. Return to your previous policy setting by pressing the Spacebar, enter the policy value you noted in step 5, and press Enter. This will allow the script to make changes to your device. Remember to press Y and Enter to accept the change and revert to your previous policy setting. Close the PowerShell window when you're done. DOWNLOA...

How to Uninstall Latest Quality or Feature Windows Update in Advanced Options at Boot


This option is only available starting with Windows 10 version 1809.


1 Boot to Advanced Startup.

2 Click/tap on Troubleshoot. (see screenshot below)

Uninstall Windows Update in Windows 10-uninstall_updates_advanced_options-1.jpg

3 Click/tap on Advanced options. (see screenshot below)

Uninstall Windows Update in Windows 10-uninstall_updates_advanced_options-2.jpg

4 Click/tap on Uninstall Updates. (see screenshot below)

Uninstall Windows Update in Windows 10-uninstall_updates_advanced_options-3.jpg

5 Click/tap on Uninstall latest quality update or Uninstall latest feature update for which type of last update you want to uninstall. (see screenshots below)

Feature updates
With Windows 10, Microsoft will package new features into feature updates that can be deployed using existing management tools. Because feature updates are delivered more frequently than with previous Windows releases — twice per year, around March and September, rather than every 3–5 years — changes will be in bite-sized chunks rather than all at once and end user readiness time much shorter.

Quality updates
Monthly updates in previous Windows versions were often overwhelming because of the sheer number of updates available each month. Many organizations selectively chose which updates they wanted to install and which they didn’t, and this created countless scenarios in which organizations deployed essential security updates but picked only a subset of non-security fixes.

In Windows 10, rather than receiving several updates each month and trying to figure out which the organization needs, which ultimately causes platform fragmentation, administrators will see one cumulative monthly update that supersedes the previous month’s update, containing both security and non-security fixes. This approach makes patching simpler and ensures that customers’ devices are more closely aligned with the testing done at Microsoft, reducing unexpected issues resulting from patching.

eSIM vulnerabilities exploited by SIM swappers for phone numbers: Report

  These eSIMs,   residing   on the chip of mobile devices, function similarly to physical SIM cards but boast remote reprogramming capabilities. Exploitation of eSIMs by Cybercriminals Embedded Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs) function similarly to physical SIM cards but are digitally stored on mobile device chips. They can be reprogrammed remotely and facilitate various functionalities such as activation and deactivation through QR code scans provided by service providers. The report also notes that F.A.C.C.T., a Russian cybersecurity firm, highlights a surge in eSIM exploitation by SIM swappers worldwide. By manipulating eSIM functionalities, criminals bypass security measures to gain control over phone numbers, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive accounts.
