[German]Do you experience 20-minute Windows sessions hangups when logging in? Or do the apps (Outlook, OneDrive) request a logon to the respective services for each session (e.g. daily)? Are you using Microsoft's FSLogix in the Windows environment? Then check if version 2210 is installed and go back to the previous build. The update to FSLogix version 2210 is buggy as dog.
[German]Microsoft's Exchange Server team has revised its recommendations regarding antivirus scan exceptions and is asking administrators to review and adjust antivirus software settings as necessary. It's all the result of changes in the cyber threat landscape.
[German]Do you facing the problem that the Windows Admin Center is not displayed on the first call in Google Chrome? Rather, you get a message that the page cannot be reached ("ERR_UNEXPECTED"). A second attempt then displays the Windows Admin Center. This can also happen with other websites.
[German]Currently, there is quite a bit of confusion regarding the Windows Update installation error 0x80070103. This has been confusing some Windows 10 and Windows 11 users since February 2023, as drivers are reported for download on Windows Update, but then their installation fails with error 0x80070103. To make matters worse, Microsoft says this only applies to Insider versions of Windows 11.
[German]Microsoft does not have its processes under control at the back and front. After I was offered a "You are ready for Windows 11" in the Windows 10 21H2 update page on a Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF weeks ago, it continues. Late this week, there appears to have been a "broad upgrade" offer for owners of older Windows 10 systems, even though they don't meet Windows 11 system requirements. Microsoft has admitted "the mistake."

[German]It's a messy story that I'm posting here on the blog again. Microsoft fails to ship cURL with Windows 10/11 in such a way that the software is up to date and no longer has known vulnerabilities. I had already raised the issue on the blog in January 2022 – but nothing has changed, as I could see by own checks and in a message received from Stefan Kanthak. Here's a brief outline of what it's all about.
[German]Question for Microsoft 365 administrators and service providers. Has there been increased feedback in recent days that apps are losing their connection to Microsoft services? Affects for example Office, Outlook, OneDrive, so that users have to log in again every day. One reason could be a bug in FSLogix 2210.
[German]We was told, that Software Restriction Policies and SAFER no longer work out-of-the-box under Windows 11 22H2. This is caused by registry entries left in the ISO images, that make Windows 11 think that AppLocker is active (although it itsn't). This can be fixed with a small registry hack. Here is a short overview about the topic including the hack to continue using SAFER.
[German]Currently a small collective article about problems with Windows and the login in connection with the Citrix Workspace app and FSLogix version 2210. Does the login to Windows hang with the message "Other user"? If so, the Citrix Workspace app may be to blame. There is also a bug in FSLogix version 2210 that also provokes very long lasting Windows logins.
[German]Palo Alto Networks has discovered a new variant of the Mirai malware. The Mirai variant V3G4 exploits multiple vulnerabilities in the firmware of IoT devices to allow remote access. Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 security researchers observed the Mirai variant, called V3G4, from July to December 2022, and once the vulnerable devices are compromised via multiple vulnerabilities, they become fully controlled by attackers and become part of the botnet.
