With few people having just one email address nowadays, the problem of searching for email across two or more accounts is one that affects many users. Just last month, Microsoft announced an upcoming feature for its Outlook email client -- the ability to search across multiple email accounts simultaneously.
Now the company has had a change of heart, updating its plans to indicate that the handy option is now "postponed indefinitely".

Watch Microsoft Windows 1.0 running on an Apple MacBook Air
It's always fun to try and run old games and apps on modern versions of Windows, if only to see if you can, and how they'll look.
If that's not challenging enough, you could consider trying to run a really old version of Windows on hardware it was never intended for, such as a MacBook Air.
Cybercriminals step up their targeting of macOS
Historically Windows has been the favorite target of cybercriminals, but new research from Accenture suggests macOS is becoming a lucrative priority on the dark web and information on exploits is being traded for millions of dollars.

Microsoft drops support for dozens of Intel processors in latest Windows 11 system requirements update
It is not unknown for Microsoft to change the system requirements for its software, and this is something that applies to Windows 11.
Back in June, the company updated the list of processors from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm. Now another update to Windows 11 system requirements means that large numbers of Intel CPUs are no longer supported -- 44 models in total.
Microsoft is finally killing off Cortana in Windows 11 as Windows Copilot heralds an AI future
Cortana may have been Microsoft's response to Siri, but while Apple's digital assistant prevails, the Windows maker's offering has slipped into insignificance. Never much-loved by users, Microsoft's Cortana has been in its death throes for a while and now the company is finally moving on.
With the release of Windows 11 Build 25921 a few days ago, Microsoft has introduced the option to uninstall the Cortana app, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. The company had already announced plans to stop supporting Cortana in Windows as a standalone app, and that time has now come. A Microsoft Store update is also being used to forcibly deprecate the tool.
It's not always malware
Every day, cyber incidents and their subsequent downtimes seem to fill the news. These downtimes, both costly and damaging to consumer trust, have rightfully been something that CISOs and CIOs work to prevent with increasingly sophisticated security measures. But sometimes the most damaging "disasters" are the simplest.
Earlier this year, one of the hyperscale suffered a major data center incident in which a water leak triggered a fire in a co-location data center, knocking more than 90 services offline in France. This serves as a reminder to us all that, despite rising cybercrime stealing the headlines, preparing for physical disasters remains a vital part of any disaster recovery (DR) plan. It is crucial that businesses consider the impact that these incidents may create on their own day-to-day operations and invest in their own disaster recovery.
Inside the world of cyber incident investigations
Investigation of information security incidents is the last stage of enterprise protection and one of its most important parts, helping to minimize the damage caused by hackers and build defenses to prevent future incidents. The investigation assists in evaluating the security of the company's IT infrastructure and in formulating recommendations for its enhancement.
Incident investigation is a crucial component of any enterprise's information security framework. Merely monitoring the work of the security tools is not enough, as security incidents are happening all the time. Without a proper response to these incidents, the enterprise, in effect, lacks adequate information security protection.

Microsoft hides secret 'Fix problems using Windows Update' in latest Windows 11 dev build
When Microsoft released Windows 11 build 23516 a few days ago, the biggest change was billed as being improvements to screen casting. There were other changes, fixes and additions that Microsoft shouted about, but there was also a hidden feature that the company kept quiet about.

With the help of ViVeTool -- or Microsoft's own StagingTool -- however, it can be enabled.
Reframing the IT department: The new driver of business productivity
For decades, IT departments have been viewed as a siloed part of the business, designed to offer technical support, from resetting passwords to resolving hardware issues. While dealing with technical difficulties is a key aspect of the role for many IT professionals, the rise of digitized workplaces and solutions requires businesses to both re-evaluate and reprioritize how they view IT teams and their potential.
In our increasingly online, data-driven world, technology now facilitates almost every aspect of a business in some capacity. Effective use of these evolving systems is crucial not just for basic day-to-day functions but for communication, data analysis, and customer and employee experience, all of which are essential drivers of growth and productivity.
