Conflicting information for Windows users.

According to TechRadar, Windows 11 users will soon be allowed to update all applications through the Microsoft Store, including those not owned by Microsoft (USA).

Microsoft is currently testing a new feature for the Microsoft Store that will allow it to display and update apps from third-party developers.

Previously, only apps downloaded directly from Microsoft's servers were supported by the Microsoft Store for updates, forcing users to manually find and update other apps themselves.

Thanks to this change, users will now be able to manage and update all installed apps from the Microsoft Store in a single place. When you tap the 'Get Update' button, the list will include both Microsoft apps and third-party apps. However, the automatic update function only applies to Microsoft apps; third-party apps still need to be updated manually.

Experts believe this change will transform the Microsoft Store into a true app management hub on Windows 11. The ability to support third-party applications not only saves time but also encourages developers to bring their apps to the platform, creating a more convenient user experience.

Meanwhile, Neowin, a technology news site, reported that a new zero-day vulnerability has been discovered across all versions of Windows, from Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 to the latest Windows 11 24H2 and Server 2022. This vulnerability allows attackers to steal users' NTLM (New Technology LAN Manager) login credentials simply by using a malicious file.

The NTLM protocol is an outdated authentication method, and Microsoft has long advised users to switch to more modern and secure authentication methods.

According to the Opatch security research team, they have discovered and released an unofficial patch to fix this vulnerability. Users may face the risk of attack when interacting with malicious files through Windows Explorer, such as opening shared folders, external USB storage devices, or the Downloads folder containing those files.

Even the latest version of Windows 11 24H2 is not immune to the vulnerability. Although Microsoft has been notified of the flaw, the company has yet to release an official patch.
