March 25 newsletter available (free!)

This week’s new AskWoody Plus newsletter is out; and for a while, you can read it for free, here.

Here’s what’s inside issue 16.11.0 / 2019-03-25:

• LANGALIST: Win8/10’s secure-boot process still causing trouble: Here’s what to do when Windows’ complex boot-time security enhancements prevent you from using legitimate repair, recovery, and backup tools. Plus: No joke — check your Windows version now! Also, easy and free ways to mirror a smartphone’s screen on a laptop or TV.
• ON SECURITY: Office 365: The trendy new phishing target: The U.S. Secret Service warns that Office 365 is now a prime target. Even more worrisome, the attacks can come from within Office 365 itself.
• BEST UTILITIES: Freeware Spotlight — Folder Monitor: There are plenty of folder-monitoring programs out there, but if you’re like me, you prefer simple, no-frills, just-get-it-done programs. When they are also free and portable to boot — well, that’s just great!
• THE INTERNET: How to find and change DNS Settings: Switching to a third-party service might give you better speed and tighter security.

Previous issues are archived here.

What’s this about? Woody Leonhard has launched a new newsletter that’s very much cast in the mold of the classic Windows Secrets newsletter, with the latest articles on Microsoft Windows, PC maintenance, security, best apps, smartphones, and other important computing topics.

Many of the original Windows Secrets gang have signed on, including Woody himself, Susan Bradley, Tracy Capen, myself, and others.

Eventually, the AskWoody Plus newsletter will be by subscription, but for now it’s open and free to all!
