Microsoft Update for Window 7 devices.

Microsoft will roll out a critical update for Windows 7 devices next month


Microsoft has already decided on the end-of-support dates for Windows 7 users and while it’s a couple of months away, there’s a chance that users could get locked out of Windows Updates soon.
Microsoft recently announced that they are moving to SHA-2 for better encryption. This is not a big news for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 users but is a critical one for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 SP1 and SP2 users as they still rely on SHA-1 encryption. Microsoft had initially planned to roll out an update in April to fix the issue so the older systems could support SHA-2 encryption. However, Microsoft has now moved the date to March and the fix will roll out with Patch Tuesday for all the Windows 7 users. It’s really important that everyone downloads the patch as it will make older OS compatible with SHA-2 encryption. After this update, Microsoft will be signing Windows Updates using SHA-2 which will not be supported on devices that don’t have the update. You can read more about this change on the Microsoft Support website.

Tips to Improve Battery life (Android)

Sync Settings Notifications are important. But if you find them intrusive and hate the persistent stream of pings, you should try disabling auto-sync altogether. That way, you’ll only see new content when you open an app and refresh it manually. Since apps won’t constantly refresh themselves in the background to feed you new information, this can save you a ton of battery life too. To disable auto-sync, visit  Settings > Accounts  and there, the  Automatically sync data  options should be available at the bottom. You can also disable sync on a per-app basis in most apps.
