The vulnerability, discovered by Mateusz Jurczyk, a security researcher on Google’s Project Zero team, allows an authenticated user (attacker) to access memory in a privileged process without elevating to administrator privileges, thereby extracting relevant sensitive information.

The vulnerability tracking number is CVE-2023-32019, and the score is 4.7/10 (medium), but Microsoft evaluates it as “important”.

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view heap memory from a privileged process running on the server, Microsoft said.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would require an attacker to coordinate the attack with another privileged process running on the system as another user.

Microsoft stated that if users want to mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with CVE-2023-32019, they need to install June and subsequent security updates through Windows Update or other means.

In the post, the user said, “On this Win10 laptop, I can’t get around this full-screen Microsoft 365 Home Edition trial ad to get to the desktop. I have to take the free trial to get to the desktop, and after the trial period I have to pay $100 per year. I’ve obviously cancelled my subscription, but I’m speechless at this approach from Microsoft.

The page provides two options of “Try for free” and “No, thanks”. But after users clicked the “No trial” button, they were then redirected to the payment confirmation page. The user has no choice but to try it first and then cancel it to avoid the subsequent chargeback.

While Microsoft will stop selling Windows 10 licenses in February, the company has no plans to take down installation media (.ISO) files or media creation tools, according to changes quietly made in the company’s documentation. This concerns all versions of Windows 10, including Home and Professional editions.

Microsoft has posted a message on its online store confirming that “January 31, 2023 will be the last day this Windows 10 download will be available for sale. The message, which can be seen in all listings for Windows 10, applies only to the online store, but it is likely that licenses will not be available for purchase at Microsoft-affiliated offline stores either.

The notice confirms that the company will continue to provide support for Windows 10 until Oct. 14, 2025. This includes protection against viruses, spyware and other malware. The good news is that Microsoft will not make it difficult for users to install Windows 10 via ISO, installation media or similar tools.

The consumer Windows 10 download page makes no mention of “downloads” going offline as of January 31. Likewise, Windows 10 Enterprise Edition does not have a warning feature. This means that the Microsoft Store notification only applies to “paid downloads” and not ISOs available through the download portal.

The company will also make the OS available for download through its MSDN network. This is based on information on the company’s website, but it is also subject to change.

While buying Windows 10 licenses from Microsoft will become impossible, buying product keys from other online retailers is not a problem.

On the Windows 10 Home and Professional Lifecycle Policy page, Microsoft has made it clear that it will continue to provide updates for older Windows 10 machines until October 14, 2025.

The company thinks Windows 10 is the right choice for people who “aren’t ready to transition to new hardware” or if they prefer the old interface to the new one.

Of course, you can buy a Windows 11 license and downgrade your copy to Windows 10 using an ISO. downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 is also allowed, and Microsoft will automatically activate the Windows 10 license.
