Microsoft Windows 10 Update Hello, Microsoft Has Begun Subject Line: Microsoft Windows 10 Update Hello, Microsoft has begun pushing a warning message to Windows 10 computers that a critical security update must be performed. Several clients have informed us that they are seeing the warning message. It will appear as a generic blue screen after your computer has been powered up, and it states that after April 10, 2018 Microsoft will no longer support your version of Windows 10 until the critical security update has been performed. Please note if your UAN computer has not been recently connected to the internet, you would not have received this message. UAN has confirmed that the warning message is a genuine message from Microsoft, and UAN strongly encourages all clients to perform this critical security update as soon as possible. Please note: ‐ This update is a Microsoft requirement and UAN cannot stop or delay its roll out. To perform the critical security updated select the ‘Download update’ button located within the warning message. ‐ This update is very large, for those clients that have metered internet usage at their home may want to perform the update at a different location with unmetered high speed internet, perhaps at another family member’s home. ‐ Several UAN staff members have performed the critical security update on their home computers, and the process took more than an hour to complete. To check that your computer has been updated or to force the update at a time that is convenient to you, go to the windows Start button and click on Settings (the icon that looks like a gear above the Start button) > Update and Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates and then follow the instructions on the screen. .

  • How to Set up Cortana (Or Remove Her) in Windows 10
    How to set up Cortana (or remove her) in Windows 10 Cortana, the personal digital assistant feature in Windows 10, will help you complete tasks, make it to your appointments on time, send messages and emails on your behalf, research the web and even launch applications. Orignally released with the Windows Phone (and named after the AI character from Microsoft's Halo franchise, looks to be a key element in the Windows 10 operating system. To begin the set up process, click or tap the microphone icon in the search bar and say "Hey Cortana" (if listening is enabled), followed by your question or search term. When properly set up Cortana is a powerful digital assistant. Start by clicking into the Cortana search box, and waiting for the results pane to appear. In the top- left corner of this, click the “hamburger” menu and then open Notebook. This tool allows you to determine what information Cortana can gather about you, and the more data she has, the more she can do. Cortana will have already asked you to input your name, but you can change this and more by opening About Me. Here, set the name you want her to use. Under Settings you can enable tracking info by switching on Find flights and more, which analyses your emails for such details. The Settings screen also enables you to toggle whether Cortana responds to “Hey, Cortana” which is very similar to Android’s “OK, Google“–the system will constantly be on the look-out for you saying this phrase, and will open Cortana when it is detected.
