If it ain’t broke… Windows update makes signing out simple again

                     If it ain’t broke… Windows update makes signing out simple again
 


Microsoft recently updated the Windows Start menu, sparking a bit of controversy.

Here’s what happened: in an attempt to streamline the menu, Microsoft grouped related settings together and moved the “Sign Out” option into a three-dot submenu. This change left many users scratching their heads as they tried to log out of their accounts.

Fortunately, Microsoft listened to the feedback and is now testing an update to restore the sign-out button to its original, more accessible location.

This update is especially helpful for teams that rely on multiple profiles on one computer, making it easier to switch between accounts. And it’s just one of several improvements Microsoft is rolling out as part of a broader update to Windows 11. Other new features include media controls on the lock screen for music and videos, plus the ability to share files directly from search results.

These are small but impactful updates that can enhance productivity and simplify daily workflows.

Thinking about upgrading your business to Windows 11? We’re here to help make the transition smooth—reach out to get started.

  This new search feature in Edge is a revolution Microsoft’s at it again, presenting us with new features week after week. This time it’s all about making our online searches smarter and more efficient in the Edge browser. If you’ve been on the fence about switching to it, this might just be the push you need.   Edge has a cool new feature, as revealed by Mikhail Parakhin, CEO of Advertising and Web Services at Microsoft. Imagine this: you’re searching for something important for your business – maybe it’s market research or the latest trends in your industry. You type in your query, and you get results from not one but two search engines at the same time. How does it work?   Let’s break it down. Say Bing is your default search engine.
